LOUIS (AP) The convictions of Kenneth Callahan and Donald F. Larson in the Virginia Piper kidnapping have been overturned by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The court ordered a new trial for the two men Friday. Callahan and Larson were convicted in U.S.

District Court in St. Paul in 1977 for the abduction of Mrs. Piper from her Orono, home five years earlier. Callahan and Larson, both of whom were sentenced to life in prison, hailed the decision. "I feel good about it," said 3 i i i i 1 i Willow Plover; one brother, Leonard Bronk, Sussex; and four sisters, Mrs.

John (Esther) Cherek, Route 1, Eland, Mrs. Harry (Lorraine) Janick, Plover, Mrs. Fred (Margaret) Sorensen, Thf mfjrkPTS Milwaukee, and Mrs. Michael (Mildred) Wanserski, 3132 1 1 iumiiwiw Lindbergh Ave. He was preceded in death by his father, one brother and one sister.

She was found a day after the defense rested, but Devitt would not reopen the case to allow her to testify. Later, on an appeal from defense attorneys, the appeals court ordered Devitt to partially reopen the case. Mrs. Billstrom testified then that a group of men known as "the Billstrom gang" may have been involved in the kidnapping. She said she overheard plans for the kidnapping at a July 1972 meeting involving her late husband and some other men.

Lynda Billstrom said that, the night after Virginia Piper was released, her husband and his friends had a party because "whatever they had been planning had been a success." Devitt ruled that Mrs. Bill-strom's new evidence was not sufficient to grant a new trial. Mrs. Billstrom, 32, is serving time in a West Virginia federal prison where she was transferred from the state prison for women at Shakopee, Minn. She was sentenced in 1972 for aggravated robbery and served additional time for a parole violation.

In its decision, the appellate court said the refusal to allow the additional testimony "substantially prejudiced" the accused men. Larson is already serving a life term at Stillwater Prison for his conviction in October 1976 in the slayings of his estranged wife, her lover and three young children. He has contended he and Callahan were framed by the FBI in the Piper case. "This time we'll be ready for them," he told a reporter. Callahan from his Cumberland, home.

He has been free on bond while the appeal was pending. "Intellectually, I expected it. But almost everything went bad anyway so it was hard to believe this would be the I don't think they can convict us again." U.S. Attorney Andrew Dan-ielson said he will decide next week which of three options to pursue retry the case, appeal the. decision to the U.S.

Supreme Court or ask for a full hearing by all eight judges of the appeals court. The 2-1 opinion was by a three-man panel of the court. Mrs. Piper was abducted from her suburban Minneapolis home on July 27, 1972, by two masked, hooded men. The kidnappers demanded $1 million in small bills from her husband, Harry, board chairman of the investment firm of Piper, Jaf-fray and Hopwood, Inc.

He complied with the kidnapper's demands and Mrs. Piper was found two days later, chained to a tree in Jay Cooke State Park near Duluth. She was not harmed physically. A five-year FBI investigation ensued before Callahan and Larson were indicted on kidnapping charges. The pair was convicted Nov.

4, 1977. They appealed their convictions on several grounds, including their contention that the district court erred by denying their motion to reopen the trial to allow an additional witness, Lynda Burt Billstrom, to testify. During the trial before U.S. District Judge Edward J. Dev-itt, defense attorneys were unable to locate Mrs.

Billstrom. Sister Tolentine Miotke Sister Tolentine Miotke, 88, of the of St. Joseph, 1300 Maria died Friday afternoon at St. Michael's Hospital. Funeral services will be held Monday at 11 a.m.

As expected after this week's heavy exporter buying in corn, the government reported a export corn sale to unknown destinations. Wheat supplies at 1.63 billion bushels were 18 percent below last year, but stiff price competition for U.S. wheat from Australia and Common Market countries continued to weigh on wheat bids.

Australia officials said that nation sold 500,000 tons of wheat to China, in addition to the 7.5 million tons named in a recent sales agreement with China. Also, Common Market nations again sold wheat at their weekly selling tender.

Poncantico, in Westchester County, N.Y. He was 72. Another brother, Winthrop, died in 1973 after serving as governor of Arkansas for two terms. Two other brothers, Laurance and David, and a sister, Abby, survive. Laurance, 68, has made his career in philanthropies, especially conservation efforts.

David, a giant in American financial circles, is president and chairman of the Chase Manhattan Bank. A nephew, Jay John D. Rockefeller IV is governor of West Virginia. Nelson was the family's leading politician, upsetting incumbent New York Gov. W.

Averell Harriman in 1958 and going on to win re-election three times, in 1962, 1966 and 1970. He made overtures for the Republican presidential nomination in 1960, then in 1964 and 1968 he campaigned hard for the nomination, losing to Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon. He retired as governor in mid-term in 1973, saying he was through with politics. But Ford, after assuming the presidency from Richard Nixon, persuaded Rockefeller to become the appointed vice president. Rockefeller had shunned public appearances since leaving the vice presidency, except to rededicate a $1.5 billion government in Albany, N.Y., as the "Nelson Rockefeller Empire South Plaza." Rockefeller was born at the family's seaside estate in Bar Harbor, Maine, on July 8, 1908.

He attended prep school and received his bachelor's degree from Dartmouth in 1930. He married his first wife, Mary Todhunter Clark, shortly after graduation. They had five children before divorcing in 1962, a move conventional political wisdom considered fatal. Rockefeller's career seemed unaffected. He married Happy in 1963.

(Continued from page 1 personally and politically. The nation loses a truly great leader who unselfishly devoted his lifetime to helping his country and its people." Former California Gov. Ronald Reagan, a 'conservative often at odds with the more liberal Rockefeller, said from his home in a Los Angeles suburb that he was "deeply shocked, as I'm sure everyone is, and I have the deepest sympathy for his family "We had our political differences," Reagan said, "but we had a cordial relationship." Morrow said that at about p.m., Rockefeller had accompanied his wife and their two sons, Nelson 15, and Mark, who turns 13 today, to Nelson Jr's. private school for a speech by former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger.

Kissinger, a longtime friend, had been an adviser to Rockefeller during his years as New York's governor. The family then returned to its Fifth Avenue apartment for dinner, and afterward Rockefeller went back to his office to work on his art book. Since leaving the vice presidency and politics in 1976, Rockefeller had energetically devoted his time to retail sale of reproductions of works in his art collection. He printed a catalogue before Christmas offering the high-priced and highquality works. He had been scheduled to speak today at the Fifth World Antiques Market Conference here, where he was to announce plans to make his retail store on 57th Street a permanent operation.

Nelson was the oldest surviving brother of the sons of John D. Rockefeller Jr. His brother John D. 3d, eldest of the the third generation of the financial dynasty started by John O. Rockefeller, died last July in an automobile accident on the family estate, John A.Gorka John A.
