6 FINED IN PROTEST OVER VIETNAM MIAS

Six persons were arrested yesterday after they chained themselves to the White House fence in a protest aimed at calling attention to the fate of U.S. servicemen missing in Vietnam.

The protesters, who said they were the sons and daughters of Americans unaccounted for in Vietnam, were charged with disorderly conduct and released after they each paid a $50 fine, U.S. Park Police said.

Ted Sampley, a spokesman for the American League of Families of POWs, which helped organize the protest, said the demonstrators are upset with what they view as the Reagan administration's failure to act on information that their fathers may still be alive in Vietnam. Sampley said the protest was timed to catch the president's attention as he left the White House by helicopter yesterday morning on the first leg of his trip to the Toronto economic summit.
