New Evidence
|Hinfed in Death
|0f Food Heiress

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 10 Pl.
State was silent today on
the identities Of witnesses sum-
moned for a scheduled hearing,
on Monday when Mrs. Gertrude
Silver faces charges that she
was an accessory to the death
of her daughter from an abor-
tion.
The daughter, Mrs. Doris Jean
Ostreicher, food chain heiress,
died in . North Philadelphia
apartment on the night Of Au-
gust "a, only a few days before
her 23d birthday. A medical
examiners report called her
death q homicide, and said it
was caused by an abortion at
tempt which failed.
District Attorney Samuel Dash
disclosed yesterday that SUBJ
poenaes were issued for wit
nesses. and he intimated that
new evidence might be given at
the Monday hearing.
He declined to say, however,
whether. as has keen reported,
there would be any mystery"
witnesses. And he added that
1t would be against the interests
of justice to name names. Other
sources. themselves just as secre-
tive about identities, said at least
ii witnesses. and possibly as
many as Is. would appear.
Magistrate Elias Myers, before
whom Mrs. Silver is to appear.
signed the subpoenaes, which
then were locked in the district
attorneys safe at City Hall. It
would be unfair to name the
persons subpoenaed, Magistrate
Myers said, because somebody
might tamper with the common
wealth's witnesses.
Mr.. Dash said that If the mag
istrate holds Mrs. Silver for court
action she will be brought to
trial "as speedily as we can. "
"A warrant for her arrest was
sworn out Thursday and given
to her counsel, Thomas D, Nc
Bride. Mr.. Dash said he would
forego serving of the warrant
on Mrs. Silver herself because
Mr.. Mcbride assured him that
she would be at the hearing.

the U. S. District Court for the
District Of Columbia, had found
Mrs. Ying in contempt OF court
on Thursday, after he had
ordered her to tell the grand jury
the names of her father and her
brothers and she refused. Her
refusal was on grounds Of fear of
possible Standardization. Judge
MCGUIRE ordered her jailed until
further order of the court" or
until she elects to answer the
questions.
The grand jury is investigat-
ing possible perjury by a man
the Government believes to be
her father. The man is Lee Mai
Poi. The grand jury investiga-
tion is to determine whether he
committed perjury in 1858 dur
ing testimony at a trial here at
which two young Chinese were
seeking to become American citi-
zens.

French Draft
Pact

PARIS. Sept. 10 (P.-France
today achieved a general agree
Iment with the pro-Nationalist
former Sultan of Morocco, Mo-
manned ben Youssef. on plans
for sweeping reorganization of
the protectorate's government
and relationship with France.
News of this development,
which can end months of tur-
moil and bloodshed in Morocco,
came from Madagascar where
two special French government
ENJOYS boarded a plane bearing
the text Of an accord signed by
the exiled ex-sovereign.
will Report to Faure
The enyoys, Gen. Georges
Catroux and Henri Yrissou, For
eign Ministry official, are ex-
pected here tomorrow when they
will report directly to Premier
Edgar Faure and his commit
tee of f1ve' handling North
African problems. This session
will preface full-scale cabinet
meeting where Mr.. Faure will
press for governmental approval.
The accord with ben Youssef
reportedly embodies Mr.. Faure's
own projected settlement as
drafted last month at Aix-les-
Bains with delegates of Morocco's
main political movements, in
cluding the Nationalist Istiqlal.
Must Depose Sultan
Mr.. Faure must still overcome
opposition from right-wing ele-
ments Of his cabinet and in the
French Parliament. and must
somehow get the present Sultan,
Mohammed ben Moulay Arafa,
to relinquish the throne. Last
night the Sultan's spokesman
was still insisting that Moulay
Arafa will cling to his position.
In an attempt to head off new
trouble from the Nationalists.
French authorities in Rabat an
nounced last night they plan
to allow Moroccan workingmen
to join labor unions.
Until now, only the French and
other European residents of this
North African protectorate had
that right.
Actually the authorities failed
last March to prevent the Or
ganization of a Moroccan labor
union, the Union Marocaine du
Travail.

nesday against the union - an
order which the lila has ignored
The employers yesterday reaf-
f1rmed their intention of pro-
ceeding with contempt of court
charges against lila officials and
a suit against the union for $40
million in damages. The lila
signed a no-strike contract with
the shipping firms last January
A temporary injunction re-
straining the New Jersey union
locals was obtained Thursday in
Jersey City by the shipping as
sociation. A show-cause order
on why the injunction should
not be permanent is returnable
next Tuesday.
Attorneys Action Urged
Justice Hecht. in deferring
court action until Monday, urged
union attorneys to make every
effort to get strikers back to
work by then.
Samuel M. Lane, executive di-
rector of the two-member wa
terfront commission. told JUS
tice Hecht the walkout is "a
strike against the Government
it is an abuse of the great
power given the lila by the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board
when it certified it."
The NLRB certified the lila
a year ago as bargaining agent
for the waterfront after the
union won an election against
an AFL union. The LILA was
ousted from the AFL almost two
years ago for alleged failure to
rid its ranks of racketeers.
The Waterfront Commission
was set UP in 1858 to police the
piers. From the outset the LILA
has opposed the commission, set
up by New York and New Jersey
Legislatures and approved by
Congress.
The LILA charges the commits
sion with discrimination and
harshneSs including alleged
misuse Of subpoena powers,
harassing longshoremen with
criminal records, and attempts
to break up" the union.

West Considers
Security Pact
n -
With Russia
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
Associated Press staff writer

AssoCIhteu FIeos oLAu WrItef
The State Department has in
dicated that the United States.
Britain. France and West Ger
many are studying "a wide range"
of possible security treaties de-
signed to assure Russia against
future attack by a reunited
Germany allied with the West.
1t was learned that one treaty
draft under study would embrace
up to is nations in the Soviet
bloc and Western Europe.
Among these would be re-
unified Germany. In all the
plans now being considered by
the Western allies, authorities
said, the reunification of Ger
many on terms suitable to the
West would have to be accepted
by Russia first.
A London dispatch listed eight
Western nations. not including
Germany, and six Soviet bloc
countries as prospective sigma.
tories Of one type Of security
pact for which the United States
has submitted a draft to Britain
and France. It is understood
that Germany has also been
brought into consultation on this
possibility.
Nations Listed
The Western nations named
all members of the Atlantic al.
liance-were the United States,
Britain, France. Italy. Canada.
Belgium, Holland and Luxem-
bourg. The Communist coun-
tries listed were Russia, Poland,
Czechoslovakia, Romania, Hun
gary and Bulgaria.
The action clause of this and
presumably other European Sc
curity drafts under study in the
Western capitals would provide
for consultation on diplomatic
or military action if the security
of any one Of the signatory
countries was threatened.
The major purpose of such o
treaty would be to induce Rus
sia to agree to the unification
of East and West Germany un-
der conditions which would elim-
mate any Russian fears of a fu-
ture German attack on the So
viets.
Consideration has also been
given to treaties of a smaller
scope. One which Secretary Of
State Dulles has considered IA
vorably would be a five-power
pact linking the three big West
ern powers, Russia and unified
Germany in security guarantees.
Details Omitted
A State Department state
ment. issued by Press Officer
Henry Suydam, avoided COM
ment on details of any specific
plan. 1t said consultations have
been underway with the British,
French and German govern
ments following the Geneva
summit conference in July. At
this conference it was decided
that the Western powers and
Russia would hold a Foreign
Ministers meeting in october
on the German and European
security issues.
These exchanges. which have
included wide range Of pos.
sibilities," the statement said.
"are in preparation for the de-
tailed study which viii be made
by working parties (of the
Western powers) before the
meeting of the Foreign Min
listers on October 27."
The statement pointed out
that Secretary of State Dulles
will meet with Western Foreign
Ministers in New York on Sep
tember 27 and % and the pos
sibilities for European security
arrangements will be further
discussed at that time.
The statement also said that
the discussions so far held are
of a preliminary nature"
Privately. officials said there
have been no firm American
policy decisions yet on what
type of security arrangements
