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.

Pope greets North Koreans
VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope
John Paul II on Sunday issued
the first papal message to
communist North Korea in
three decades, sending his
greetings to “the beloved
brothers and sisters of the
North.”
Addressing 35,000 faithful
gathered at St. Peter’s Square
for his noon blessing, John
Paul asked for "the interces
sion of the Holy Virgin Mary so
that the hopes of the entire
Korean people can be
realized.”
His surprise message to the
people of North Korea came a
week before his first visit to the
Far East.
The pontiff, in his blessing,
first paid tribute to the Roman
Catholic Church in South Ko
rea.
