(UPI) - The Four- th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals yester- day reversed the convictions of the "Wilmington 10," whose arrests for the firebombing of a white-owned grocery store became a watchword in the civil rights movement. The three-judge appeals panel unanimously ruled that the Sixth Amendment rights of the nine black men and one white woman had been violated during their January 1972 trial because their attorneys had been denied testimony of the major prosecution witness. THE DECISION sends the case back to U.S. District Court Judge Franklin Dupree, who had denied the defendan- ts' request for writs of habeas corpus which would have entitled them to a new trial in North Carolina. The defendants took their case federal court after losing appeals in North Carolina courts. The Wilmington 10 - who included the Rev. Ben Chavis and eight high school students - pleaded innocent to firebombing "Mike's Grocery Store" in Wilmington, N.C., and conspiring to assault firefighters who answered alarms for the blaze. The Wilmington violence began in January 1971 when local officials rejec- ted black students' request for a memorial service for Martin Luther King Jr. During the violence, two men were shot to death. # One of the major issues in the ruling stemmed from the defendants' conten- tion that their attorneys were never granted full access to statements made by Allen Hall, the state's key witness in the trial. "Hall was a crucial witness for the state and his credibility was the most basic issue in the case," the appeals judges said.

ALTHOUGH THE number of groups requesting tag day funds from the society has not increased, Havelchek said, each group has asked for more money. The society president at-; tributed this situation to cutbacks in state funding to these groups, and to the problem of "the economy being so bad for auto workers that they need more help, and must turn to social organizations and groups to getit." The Galens Society, which was foun- ded in 1916, will take funding requests from any group "dealing with health care of children in the community," Havelchek said. In addition to allocating funds to various organizations, Galens mem- bers also "provide community service with bodies rather than money," he ad- ded. Social action projects undertaken by the group have included blood drives and the conducting of free pre-camp physical examinations for children.

As usual during the waning days of a congressional session, the House smoothly adopted or rejected legislation without flourish or delay while the Senate was mired in a pair of filibusters that threatened to disrupt the ad- journment schedule. In its closing hours, Congress faced a periodic problem - how to get a pay raise without incurring the wrath of the voters. The Senate Appropriations Committee, working late Wednesday, voted toraise the pay of all senators, congressmen, and top federal officials from $60,663 to $70,900. They have not had a raise in two years. Democratic.leader Robert Byrd said he would try to delete the pay raise from the continuing resolution, which must pass before Congress can ad- journ, and the pesky pay raise was given little chance of surviving. Effort to free hostages 'seems to be working' ALGIERS, Algeria - Algeria delivered another U.S. letter to Iran yesterday and a diplomatic source said the intense negotiations were "narrowing'the differences holding up release of the 52 American hostages. Swedish radio, in a report from Tehran, quoted official Iranian sources as saying the hostages finally have been turned over to the government and moved from the occupied U.S. Embassy. The transfer, which had been reported - and later denied - last week, was not immediately confirmed. But Deputy Secretary of State Warren Christopher said the long and tedious effort to free the hostages finally "seems to be working." A diplomatic source in Algiers said Iran is "faced with a critical decision of whether to strike a compromise right now or seek a further delay" in resolving the crisis, House kills legislation for air bags in some ears WASHINGTON - The House yesterday killed legislation that would have required major automakers to begin offering air bags in some cars in .1983. The 189-186 vote was a loss for consumer advocates, elements of the in surance industry,-apd some government safety officials who favor the air bag over its most likely alternative, the automatic seat belt. Current government regulations require gradual introduction of some type of "passive restraint" system - air bags o automatic self-closing seat belts - on cars beginning in 1982. The industry has been tending toward the automatic belt option, but backers of the air bag legislation had said automatic belts might be too easily disengaged by drivers while the air bag, inconspicuous by nature and design, would not. - Four teenagers suffocate in abandoned coal mine PITTSBURG, Calif. - Four teenage cousins exploring deep in the eatacombs of a long-abandoned coal mine before a birthday celebration were suffocated by carbon dioxide, officialssaid yesterday. The four, aged 16, 17, 18, and 19, were found dead early yesterday more than a mile inside the Nortonville Mine, near the Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve, about 50 miles east of San Francisco. The boys were killed by a bizarre set of circumstances similar to those which claimed the lives of five youngsters in an accident nearby in the early 1950s, according to John Waters, director of mine rescue for the park district. Waters explained that the carbon dioxide normally is flushed from the shafts by the action of pressure differences caused by differences in tem- perature between the air inside and outside the mine. But as the boys entered the shaft, the temperatures equalized and the heavy, colorless gas became trapped inside the mine, displacing oxygen. Syria expected to withdraw troops from Jordan border DAMASCUS, Syria - A Saudi Arabian mediator reported yesterday the Syria had agreed to withdraw gradually its troops and tanks along the border with Jordan, according to the Saudi news agency. This was seen as defusing at least temporarily the threat of a second war in the Middle East. The second deputy premier of Saudi Arabia, Prince Abdullah bin Abdul- Aziz, made the statement after returning to Riyadh, the Saudi capital, at the end of a four-day mediation shuttle between Damascus and Amman, the Saudi news agency said. Although details of the reported agreement were not revealed, Syrian observers said they expected President Hafez Assad to issue orders soon to withdraw Syrian troops gradually from the border area.
