Iran releases American reporter
WASHINGTON—An Islamic revolutionary court in Iran yesterday found American Cynthia Dewey guilty of spying and ordered her expelled from the country.
Iranian prison officials said she was given a nine-month sentence but was being released because she already had been jailed for a longer time.
Though Dwyer, 49, was arrested last May, no charges were officially filed against her until her trial last Wednesday.
The State Department said Dwyer, who has been in Evin Prison in Tehran since May 5, would be leaving on the first available flight today.
Dwyer, who went to Iran in April to write articles on the country's political situation, was arrested shortly after the unsuccessful attempt to rescue the three Americans.
"She won't be treated like the former hostages," he said. "She's a private citizen, not a government employee."
Dwyer's husband, John, said he thought his wife would be flying to New York.
GIs still held in Laos, pilot says
SEATTLE—A former Royal Lao air force pilot insists that 40 to 50 American servicemen who served in the Vietnam War are still being held captive by the Communist government in Laos, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported yesterday.
In a copyright story, the newspaper has identified the former pilot as Sayfa Pheasantsaan, who now directs the Lao Family Center Inc. in Seattle.
Sayfa said his information came from the hundreds of Laotian refugees who sought services from his agency.
"The people coming to the Lao Family Center tell me that the Communists found many Americans alive in the laundry and have kept them."
Juries have kept them," he said. Safyra predicted that the American captain in Laos would be used for several more years of labor.
"The governments there use the Americans to teach them how to fly the airplanes and helicopters abandoned in 1975," Sayfa said. "They also are being used as English instructors and for other work."

The five Democrats, in a letter released during the weekend, requested the Hatch ask the FBI to reopen its Donovan investigation because of the new evidence.

The FBI said that it had been unable to substantiate charges that Donovan was organized crime, a dominant topic during his confirmation hearings.
General strike expected in Poland
WARSAP, Poland - Last-minute talks between the government and the Solidarity union collapsed yesterday, and a union spokesman said a general strike by as many as 300,000 workers in southwest Poland would take place as planned today.
A Solidarity spokesman said the erratic negotiations in the southwest province of Melena Gora were broken off and postponed when indicating that they would resume.
"That means that tomorrow we will go on strike as was planned previously," he said.
He said about 450 factories, public transport and other services would be affected.
Other strikes and protests were planned today in eastern and southern Poland in support of a solidary Ruralism independent farmers' union.
In a move that could trigger yet another dispute between the government and the union, the Warsaw regime said an investigation of Poland's most prominent dissident organization, the Committee for Social Self-defense (KOR), showed it was engaged in foreign-supported "anti-state activities."
Both actions came one day before a crucial meeting of the party Central Committee to discuss Foley's independent unions and "the
Top government and Communist Party officials have warned with increasing frequency that "anti-socialist" elements in Solidarity were trying to turn the union into an opposition political party.

SACRAMENTO, Calif.—One of President Reagan's top political advisers said yesterday that Reagan would re-elec in 1984.
"If anybody has any doubts about Ronald Reagan not thinking down the road three to four years from now and is thinking, 'Oh, boy, I'll run for president in 1884,' he'd better change his party," Lyon Nofitzro told California Republicans on the final day of their three-day convention.
Nofizer serves as a White House political consultant and was Reagan's press spokesman throughout the presidential campaign.

"But look at the attendance here. You don't realize how important they can be."
