Dwyer convicted, freed by Iranians An Iranian court convicted jailed American writer Cynthia Dwyer on spying charges Sun day, sentenced her to time al ready served and ordered her expelled. The State Department said Dwyer would be released to Swiss authorities early Monday with her departure from Iran to follow shortly. At his home in the Buffalo, N.V., suburb of Amherst, Dwyer’s husband, John, said he felt “tremendous, grateful, thrilled, relieved” at news of the pending release of his 49-year-old wife, who has been held by the Iranians for nine months and three days. Dwyer denied the spying charges at her trial last Wednesday, ac cording to Iranian press reports. Dwyer said he and the cou ple's three children had no word of her travel plans. In Washington, State Depart ment spokeswoman Anita Stockman said the plans would be determined by the family. The State Department had been informed that Iran wanted Dwyer to leave the country im mediately upon her release, she said. Dwyer, an occasional writer for Humanist magazine who her husband says went to Iran to research the Iranian revolution for free-lance articles she hoped to sell, was convicted on four charges including "indulg ing in acts of espionage against the Islamic Republic of Iran,” according to Iran’s official Pars news agency. It listed the others as: "estab lishing contacts with counter revolutionary agents in order to mediate between them and other American agents; col laborating with an armed out lawed group in order to inform the former American hostages in Iran on the status of social and political affairs in Iran” and "making efforts for establishing radio commmunication between members of the oppo sition in Iran and the United States.” She was sentenced to nine months imprisonment and ordered deported from the country by the fourth division of the Central Islamic Revolution ary Court in Tehran, Pars said. 5 Senators demand new Donovan probe NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - Efforts by five Democratic senators to reopen an FBI investigation of U S. Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan’s past business dealings are ‘‘politically mo tivated and an attempt to em barrass the Reagan administration,” Donovan’s lawyer said Sunday. The five Democratic members of the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee, citing ‘‘two serious inaccuracies” in the FBI inquiry, called Saturday for another look at Donovan’s role as vice president of the Schiavone Construction Co. of Secaucus, N.J. Sens. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, Claiborne Pell of Rhode Island, Thomas Eag leton of Missouri, Howard Met zenbaum of Ohio and Donald Riegle of Michigan said they sent their letter to committee chairman Sen. Orrin Hatch, R Utah, after The Record of Hackensack, N.J., gave them information raising questions about the thoroughness of the FBI’s investigation. A spokesman for Hatch said his committee staff would in vestigate the allegations. The Record, in a copyright story in its Sunday editions, quoted two men, both with past criminal associations, as cor roborating elements of the story told by Donovan's chief ac cuser, mob informant Ralph Picardo. Picardo has said Donovan made payoffs to organized crime figures to insure labor peace and that his company dealt with reputed mobsters.
