Body of Baby Found
After Man Admits
Weinberger Kidnap
Remains Discovered 8 Miles
From Home of Infant Boy
MINEOLA, N. Y., Aug. 24 (#*). —The decomposed
body of kidnapped Peter Weinberger, with a safety pin
still intact, was found today in roadside shrubbery 51
days after he was taken from the patio of his Westbury
(Long Island) home.
It was found where FBI agents said Angelo J.
LaMarca, a cab driver, told them he had abandoned
the month-old child on July 5, the day after he took
the baby.
LaMarca, 31-year-old father of two children, was
arrested yesterday by FBI agents and Nassau County
police and charged with kidnaping. Financial diffi-
culties apparently caused his
act. He had asked $2,000 ran- ;
som. I
More than 50 Nassau County :
police and FBI agents moved on i
the abandonment spot at 9:15
o’clock this morning. It was
situated alongside a cutoff road
from Northern State parkway
leading to Plainview where La-
Marca lives. It is only 8 miles
east of the Weinberger home.
Forming a line an arm’s length
apart the searchers moved
slowly through the underbrush.
Shortly after 10:30 the body was
found.
Bady Wasn't Buried
Assistant Chief Inspector
James Farrell said the baby
had not been buried. He ap- ;
parently had been placed in the
underbrush. Summer storms
whipped up honeysuckle vines
and leaves to blanket the body.
A Nassau County police spokes
man said LaMarca claimed the
baby was alive when LaMarca
abandoned him.
“Even if the child was alive i
when it was placed on the ground I
it may well constitute murder,” '
Nassau County District Attorney
Frank Gulotta said.
Conviction of kidnaping, like
first-degree murder, carries a'
maximum penalty of death in
New York State.
Authorities said LaMarca ad
mitted abandoning the child
after being frightened away by
the presence of police and news
men when he showed up at an
appointed spot to pick up $2,000
ransom money.
A ransom note was found on
the patio of the Weinberger
home where the baby had been
taking a nap in his carriage.

Suez Committee Hopes
To See Nasser Quickly
By RICHARD FRYKLtJND ’
European Correspondent of The Btar
LONDON, Aug. 24.—Australian Prime Minister Menzies’
five-nation “Suez Canal Committee - ’ hopes to meet shortly
with Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser to talk over a
workable solution to the Suez crisis.
Mr. Menzies’ group—made up of representatives of Aus
tralia, Sweden, Iran, Ethiopia and the United States—was
reliably reported today to have
sent President Nasser a cabled
Invitation to a meeting with the
committee in Rome, Geneva or
Cairo.
A reply is expected today, ac
cording to a source close to the
committee, and it is believed
that if Col. Nasser’s answer is
favorable the Egyptian chief
will suggest his own capital,
Cairo, as the site.
The trouble-shooting group is
ready to leave on short notice,
possibly this evening.
Acceptance Doubted
Mr. Menzies’ committee, whose
American member is Loy Hen
derson, will carry to the meeting
a Western-sponsored plan for in
ternational control of the Suez
Canal. British officials frankly
do not believe Col. Nasser will
accept the proposal, but Ameri
can spokesmen are more opti
mistic, and point out also that
the Menzies committee will be
able to go beyond the majority
plan in talks with the Egyptian.
The British, who purposely
were left off the five-nation com
mittee in the interests of pos
sible harmony with Mr. Nasser,
say privately that if Egypt’s
president rejects the proposal as
it stands, war within weeks is
still quite possible. They point

and wearing a small moustache,
was picked up at his home early
yesterday by an FBI agent and
a Nassau County policeman.
The FBI entered the case seven
days after Peter was kidnaped
on the assumption the baby had
been taken across State lines.
Because the infant was not
transported across a State line,
the FBI turned La Marca over
to Nassau County authorities for
prosecution.
The FBI no longer has to wait
seven days to enter a kidnaping
case. Since the Weinberger case
Congress adopted a bill making
the waiting period only 24 hours.
President Eisenhower signed the
bill.
Quirk in Handwriting
Police revealed there was a
quirk in the handwriting of the
ransom note. It was said to be
such that the kidnaper could not
conceal it in anything he had
| written.
A large number of specimens
of handwriting were scrutinized
by FBI men and the 50 Nassau
County police assigned full time
to the biggest New York area
kidnaping in nearly 20 years.
Not only .were letters to the
.Weinbergers examined, but in
vestigators delved into all man
ner of public records.
(A spokesman for the FBI
in Washington said G-men ;
and Nassau County police
examined more than 2 mil
lion handwriting specimens.

1 ful American view, that America
’ has been wrong before in the
' Suez matter.
This United States officials
| concede. They frankly admit
: they were wrong about one of
1 the basic premises on which they
! entered the conference, namely
that the Soviet Union sincerely
■ wanted an equitable solution to
the Suez crisis. As a result of
’ Russian Foreign Minister Dmitri
1 Shepilov’s performance since the
meetings opened American offi
cials have made a sharp reap
, praisal of Russia’s role in the
| Middle East.
At the outset Mr. Shepilov
’ seemed frank and straightfor
, ward and impressed the Ameri
cans as a man ready to negotiate
I even if he was not ready to
adopt the Western view of Suez.
Reds Play Different Game
By the time the conference
’ reached its midpoint and rival
Indian and American plans were
■ introduced the Americans began
to doubt Mr. Shepilov’s good
will, but were still hopeful the
Soviet Union would edge over
■ toward the Western position.
■lt was becoming obvious to
■ them, nevertheless, that the
1 Communists actually were play
■ ing a different game from the
other conferees.
Today, at the end of the con
ference, United States officials
have gone completely over to
another attitude. They are con
vinced Russia is seeking effec
tively to sabotage the efforts of
all other nations here to get an
equitable settlement.
The final eye-opener came in
the closing hours of the confer
ence. when the Russian dele
gates tried to keep the group
from taking the slightest action.
lEven after India. Indonesia and
|C:*ylon deserted her and began
to view calmly the Western
plan—which they did not think
would work—Russia stood pat in
efforts to block a possible solu
tion.
At the same time. Communist
propagandists were filling the air
j waves with appeals to the Arab
world to reject proposals of the
conference majority on grounds
that it violated the sovereignty
of Egypt.

nation committee set up after
India and Russia blocked the
sending of a delegation under
auspices of the full 22-nation
Suez conference, which wound
up 80 days of discussions yes
terday.
Sitting with-Mr. Menzies were
delegates representing a cross
section of powers directly con
cerned with freedom of naviga
tion in the canal—the United
States, Sweden, Iran and Ethio
pia. Loy Henderson, veteran
career diplomat, is the American
representative.
Emerging from the first pri
vate meeting. Mr. Menzies was
close mouthed. He told newsmen,
"It is so tremendously important
that I feel we shall all behave
like Trappist Monks.”
Dulles Joins in Talks
Secretary of State Dulles took
part in the deliberations shortly
before his scheduled departure
to return to Washington.
| The majority’s proposal,
shaped ai the 22-nation con
ference, is that Egypt, which na
tionalized the canal July 26,
should turn its operation oiet
to an international board on
which she would be represented.
The French stepped up mili
tary preparations in case Egypt
turned down the idea. But
; French Foreign Minister Chris
tian Pineau, back in Paris from
the conference, said even if that
happened, further talks would
precede any thought of using
force.
He was asked if force would be
| brought into play in case Col.
! Nasser rejected the proposal. He
replied in English: "The ques
tion of force is not yet (sic). We!
I will have new conversations.”
! Mr. Pineau hurried to report
on the London conference at an
extraordinary meeting of French
leaders with President Rene Coty
presiding.
Soviet Communist Leader Ni
kita S. Khrushchev has said that
in case of war over the canal,
the Arabs would have help.
French Troops Readied
France's cabinet was called
into session to consider what
action to take if Col. Nasser does
turn down the West-sponsored
proposal. Reports from Paris
jsaid troops were being readied
'for transport across the Medi
terranean. warships had been
sent to sea on “maneuvers,” and
several air squadrons had been
regrouped for possible movement.
Special paratroop units were
reported being assembled in Al-|
geria, where the bulk of France’s!
armed forces is already fighting i
nationalist rebels.
The West apparently pinned
its hopes on the view of some
that Col. Nasser has indicated a
conciliatory attitude—so long as
any move does not involve the
surrender of Egyptian sov
ereignty.
One expressing hope was In
donesian Foreign Minister Rus
lan Abdulgani. Planning to see
Col. Nasser on the way home,
Mr. Abdulgani said as he boarded
plane for Cairo that the Egyp
tian chief had sent him a mes
sage during the conference and
‘according to that I still sec an
opportunity of coming to a
'Peaceful solution.”

Banker Given
3-Year Term
In Hodge Case
CHICAGO, Aug. 24 (A s).—Ed
ward A*. Hintz, Chicago banker
involved in the Hodge State
check scandal, today was sen
tenced to prison for three years
by Judge John P. Barnes of
United States District Court.
Hintz pleaded guilty today to
39 of 54 counts of a Federal in
dictment.
The plea was a reversal of an
earlier plea of not guilty.
Hintz is a resigned president
of the Southmoor Bank & Trust
Co., through which Orville
Hodge, imprisoned former State
auditor, manipulated the cash
ing of fake State checks.
A Federal grand jury indicted
Hintz on July 21 for conspiracy
and mishandling of $872,000 in
federally insured State funds.
Also indicted with him were
Hodge and Edward A. Epping, a
former Hodge assistant. Hodge
this week began serving a 12-15
year State prison term and a
10-year Federal term.
Hintz is to be arraigned in
Springfield Monday on charges
of conspiring with Hodge in the
misapplication of vState funds.
Cost of Living
Rises Again
sth Gain in Row
Brings Pay Boosts
By FRANCIS P. DOUGLAS
The cost of living, pushing up
ward for five consecutive months,
hit another new high in July,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics
announced today.
The bureau said its consumer
price index jumped .7 of 1 per
cent from June to July. June
previously had registered a
record high on the index.
The increase will mean wage
increases from 3 to 5 cents an
hour for about 1.25 million
workers whose contracts are
i geared to the Consumer Price
Index. Those affected are auto
mobile. aii-craft and agricultural
implement workers.
The inflationary trend, with
rising prices and a decline in the
value of the dollar—a decline of
about I cent in the last two
months—was countered yester
day by an increase in the lend
ing rate of four Federal Reserve
Banks.
Discount Rates Up
The Federal Reserve Board
announced a boost in the dis-’
count rates of the New York,
Richmond, Philadelphia and
Chicago banks from 2% per cent
to 3 per cent. The 3 per cent
rate had already been reached by
the Minneapolis and San Fran
cisco Banks. The other banks in
the system, at Boston. Cleveland.
Atlanta. St. Louis, Kansas City
and Dallas are expected to go
from 2% per cent to 3 per cent
shortly.
The 3 per cent rate is the
highest since 1933. The current
increases are the sixth in 16
months. Before April, 1955, a
IVi per cent rate ruled. The dis
count rate is the rate of interest
banks pay when borrowing from
Federal Reserve Banks.
Up Steadily Since March
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
said its consumr price index in
July stood at 117 per cent of the
1947-49 average. This repre
sented an increase of 2 per cent
in a year. Beginning with March,
the index each month registered
an increase over the previous
month. The June index also was
7 of l per cent over May.
With higher prices for foods
an important factor in the June
to July increase, the prices of
other major classes of goods and
services also advanced.
The price increases for fresh
fruits and vegetables carried the

rights legislation as outlined by
the Department of Justice, Sena
tor Gray said, would require
that pupils be assigned to schools
"upon such basis as the Federal
courts, under the influence of
attorneys and investigators se
lected by the Federal Govern
ment, might determine.”
Senator Gray said the pupil
assignment plan contemplates
some integration in schools in
parts of Virginia. He said he
now believes such a beginning
would "bring more and more
integration until the whole State
is engulfed." »
The Senator, at a commission
meeting Wednesday, backed Gov.
Stanley's "nu-intigration'' plan.
The Governor now proposes that
any school system that integrates
be denied Stale funds for school
purposes.
The Gray Commission's orig
inal plan for tuition grants and
pupil assignment, praised by the
Oovernor last fall, would be
amended to provide no pupil as
signment plan, and tuition grants
only in areas denied State funds
for operation of public schools.
The General Assembly meets
in special session Monday to
consider the new plan, indorsed
by a majority of the commission.

Stevenson Hits
G. 0. P. Charge
Candidate Refers
To Convention Talks
By ERNEST B. VACCARO
Associated Press Staff Writer
ÜBERTYVILLE, HI., Aug.
24.—Adlai Stevenson protested
today against what he described
as President Eisenhower’s “ill
j considered charge that the
I Democrats set group against
! group.”
And he declared in a state
ment that "it is too bad that the
Republican record bears so little
resemblance” to Mr. Eisen
hower’s description of It.
The Democratic presidential
nominee made his comments as
he awaited at his farm near
Libertyville the arrival of Clay
ton Fritchey, his new press sec
retary, and other campaign of
ficials for further conferences on
next week's flying trip to lay the
groundwork for rallying Demo
cratic voters for the election in
November.
Mr. Stevenson referred to Vice
President Nixon's assertion the
Republicans will carry the Ei
senhow’er record to "every corner
of the country.”
"So are we,” Mr. Stevenson
said.
Speeches Cited
The statement was directed to
last night's acceptance speeches
bv Mr. Eisenhower and Mr.
Nixon at the Republican Na
tional Convention.
“President Elsenhower made
a fine speech,” Mr. Stevenson
said. “But saying the right
thing is not the same as doing
it. and it is too bad that the
Republican record bears so little
resemblance to the President’s
words. •
"It took an election year to
force the Eisenhower administra
tion to even propose to help the
farmers, the school children, etc.
And it took a Democratic Con
gress to enable Eisenhower to ac
complish much of anything, even
to control his own foreign policy.
"I say we had better get busy
;doing some of the things Eisen
hower has been talking about
doing for the last four years,
j ‘‘And I must at least protest
his ill-considered charge that
the Democrats set group against
group. The Democratic Party
has reconciled many different I
elements and set them to work in
the interests of all, while the Re
publican Party has been primar
ily representative of a limited
group.
“Mr. Nixon says the Republi
cans are going to carry the
Eisenhower record to ‘every cor
ner,of the country.' So are we."

'Lofty' Address Casts
Nixon in Mature Role
Restrained Words and Manner Seen
Designed to Bury 'Hatchetman' Idea
By CROSBY S. NOYES
STAR CONVENTION BUREAU, Sac Francisco. Aug. 24.
By anybody’s rating, President Eisenhower was the star of the
show and no one—least of all Richard Nixon—would have;
contested it.
And yet the Vice President, smiling down confidently on
the cheering delegates, had won himself a special distinction. He
had done what no other Repub-j
lican leader, including the Presi
dent, had done: He had served
as the source for the few small
gusts of speculation and excite- i
ment to blow through this her
metically sealed convention.
It was the Vice President who
rescued the meeting from pure
political sterility. And at the
start of his speech accepting his
nomination, he capitalized on -
the fact.
“President Eisenhower.” he be- 1
gan, “Mr. Chairman, delegates i
to the Republican National Con-*;
vention, distinguished guests,
friends and fellow Americans— |
and last but not least, Mr. ]
Smith ...” ’ i
« i 1
Triumph Complete
It earned him a laugh. This
display of magnanimity toward.:
his defeated rival for the nomi
nation delighted the delegates, j
And it also served a shrewd pur-',
pose. Suddenly, the whole fight:
against the renomination of
Richard Nixon became as absurd 1
as the nomination of the fletiti-;:
ous “Joe Smith” by a defiant
and renegade member of the
Nebraska delegation. In San
Francisco, at least, Mr. Nixon’s
triumph over serious members
of his party who questioned his '
fitness to serve was complete, j
This, however, was not Mr.
Nixon's only distinction at the
1956 Republican convention. The
speech which he delivered here
yesterday is probably unique
among political documents of the
'modern age. It was certainly
unique among the speeches that
preceded it at the Cow Palace in
the course of the past week.
To begin with, it contained
only three references to Presi
dent Eisenhower, and only one ;
to the “Eisenhower administra
tion.” Near the beginning, Mr.
I Nixon noted that “to millions of ;
persons. President Eisenhower is
a living symbol of peace and 1
freedom.” A little later, he pre- i
dieted that “the American peo- i

pie support the record of Presi
dent Eisenhower and will over
whelmingly re-elect him on that
record.” Just before the end, he
declared that Americans are “in
spired by the vigor and vision of
| President Eisenhower.”
Lofty and Restrained
But with these exceptions, Mr.
Nixon’s speech might almost as
well have been written to accept
the nomination for vice presi-‘
dency in the United Nations. In
the whole speech, there was not
one reference to the Republican
Party, or, for that matter to any
other Republican (except Mr.
| Eisenhower) since Abraham
j Lincoln.
From beginning to end. the
speech was remarkable for the
loftiness of its tone, the re
straint of its language and the
total lack of partisanship. The
key themes revolved around Val
ley Forge, liberty, sacrifice,
courage, faith, vision and human
freedom. At no time did Mr
Nixon refer to the Democrats,
even indirectly. Skirting care
fully around every contentious
pitfall, it amounted to a series
of unexceptionable statements
and benign generalities, plati
tudinous at times, but always on
a stratospheric plane.
Needless to say, after all the
talk In Chicago about the “vice
hatchetman" of the G. O. P„ this
was a very deliberately-created
impression. Mr. Nixon, it ap-

The Future'
By GOULD LINCOLN
STAR CONVENTION BU
REAU, SAN FRANCISCO, Aug.
24. —President Dwight D. Eisen
hower today stands committed
j to a campaign for re-election as
| the candidate of “the party of
j the future,” dedicated to a cru
sade for world peace.
Accepting his nomination at
the Republican National Conven-
I tion last night, before cheering
I thousands in the huge Cow Pal
: ace, the President said he did
so “humbly but confidently.”
“I pledge you my best efforts
to bring victory to our cause next
■ November,” the President told
I the delegates. Ruddy of face and
| "looking like a million,” the
Chief Executive predicted tri
umph for the party and seemed
entirely capable of making a
hard campaign. %
Praise for Nixon
Mr. Eisenhower gave complete
I indorsement finally to Vice Pres
[ ident Nixon, telling the delegates,
I “It is a great satisfaction that
the team you selected in 1952
you kept intact for this cam
paign. This is no eulogy for Mr.
Nixon. But whatever dedica
tion to country, loyalty and pa
triotism wiil do for America, he
will do. That I know.”
His tribute to Mr. Nixon
brought cheers.
The President received a tre
mendous reception from his au
dience. There was nothing staged
about it; no need for cheer lead
ers.
When the Chief Executive ac
companied by Mrs. Eisenhower,
entered the hall there was one
great surge of sound. The dele
gates followed his speech with
closest attention, and interrupted
|it time and again with applause.
| The President’s sallies at the
Democratic Party and its leaders
. aroused particular reaction, es
pecially when he declared that
some of the Republican Party’s
' opponents have charged that the
, G. O. P. is a one interest party,
; and added: “Indeed it is a one
interest party, and that is the
! interest of all the people.”
Cause of Peace
“The Republican Party is the
party of the future,” the Presi
’ dent said, and went on to stress
V his point in his discussion of
domestic problems. He placed a
major emphasis on the need of
! committing the party to the
' cause of peace.
I “A party of the future,” the
i President declared, “must be
completely dedicated to peace, as
indeed must all Americans. For
without peace there is no future."
At the outset, Mr. Eisenhower
said the G. O. P.—the party of
Lincoln, is “the party of long
range principle, not short term
, expediency."
“One of my predecessors.” he
, declared, “is said to have ob
