Miss Mary Frances Hagan, 29, of Huntington, W. Va., sentenced to a year’s imprisonment on charges of espionage against Israel, will be released April 28, the Parole Board announced today.
Miss Hagen, who has completed two-thirds of her term, and whose conduct has been reported satisfactory, was expected to leave for the United States Sunday evening. The American Embassy has provided her with a ticket and a limited passport. She was convicted last October on charges of collecting secret information for Syria.
