Woman to Ask Writ
Miss Weiss said one of the kilograms
she had received was from Oscar Ty-
verowsky, executive secretary of the
Communist party in New York State.
She said that she was especially anx-
ious to see him, because she had re-
ceived information that Tyverowsky is
under the care of physicians because of
a beating administered by Department
of Justice agents at the time of his
arrest. She said an effort would be
made to have Tyverowsky brought be-
fore United States District Judge Knox
on writ OF habeas corpus.
