Appeal Delays
Release of EXCL
Who Aided Huks

MANILA, Aug. % (AP)-
The release from prison Of
former CT William Pomeroy
and his Filipino wife was de-
layed today by notice that the
solicitor general would appeal
the court order freeing them.
The couple have served more
than six years of a life term
on charges of aiding the COM
munist rebels.
Judge Eulogio Mencias Of
Rial Province Court granted a
habeas corpus petition based
on q recent Supreme Court
ruling banning the rebellion
charge under which the couple
pleaded guilty and were sem
fenced. The Judge agreed they
should have been convicted on
a lesser charge and that six
years was ample sentence,
A Philippine Army spokes-
man said Pomeroy's release
would be held up by the solicit
tor generals notice Of appeal.
He indicated, however, that the
American probably would get
out tomorrow If he promised
to remain within the courts
jurisdiction.
The 41-year-old excl from
Rochester, N. Y, ana his 1T
year-old wife Celia were cap
tured BY government troops in
April, 1852, in central Luzon
during the anti-Huk campaign.
Pomeroy was said to have been
the chief propagandist of the
Communist Party in the Philip
pines.
Pomeroy, who had served in
the Pacific in World War II,
came back to the Philippines in
the late 1905, married Celia
Mariana and joined the Hulk
movement.
