By WATSON SIMS LONDON- (AP)-Sovict, Foreign Minister Dmitri Shepilov warned Friday night that serious consequences may result in thc Middle East if the West tries to break Egypt's grip on thc Suez Canal. Thc 22-country London conference on Sue;; Is sending a five- power committee lo propose international control of the canal lo Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Masser. Australia's Prime Minister Rob- eft G. Mcnzics, committee chairman, called at thc Egyptian Embassy Friday night in the first formal iriove to arrange a meeting .with Nasser in Cairo, Addressing a press conference at the Soviet Embassy, Spehilov said: "It would be wrong to underestimate the gravity of the situation that might arise as a result of tlie activity of quarters in he United Stales, Britain or France lo seek to have tbe problem settled from positions of strength." VIOLATED CHARTER He charged that military pre* parations during the Suez crisis were "flagrant violation of tho United Nations charter." Without mentioning" specifically the preparedness moves of Britain and France, Shepilov said: "Only persons who have lost all sense of responsibility would think of making ultimatums and military preparations. Military demonstrations can be regarded only Stata Secretary Dulles, chipper and smiling as he left for New York, predicted acceptance of the majority proposal. Russia, India, Ceylon and, Indonesia dissented from the majority. Other forecasts of success came Issue what went on. 'jit is so tremendously import- antsthat I feel we shall alTbehaVf like Trappist monks," he said. The committee is composed of representatives from Australia, Ethiopia, Iran, Sweden and the United States. Indian envoy V. K. Krishna Menon, sponsor of the minority plan that would allow Egypt to run the canal wilh the help of an international advisory group, plan to visit Cairo next week and set Nasser. French Cabinet Meets To Map Suez Policy If Egypt Defies Conference as an effort to put pressure on Egypt in violation of her sovereignty," "The Soviet Union considers U necessary to voice a warning regarding the serolus' consequences in the Middle East that might be brought about if the position in the Suez Canal were to bc changed." ( ANOTHER WARNING Another warning came from British Foreign Minister Selwyn Lloyd—this onc to Egypt. He told a TV audience that for Nasser to reject lntenational authority over the canal's operation would be "a very serious matter." Lloyd was asked what would happeh if Nasser says no to the committee in its majority demand from the 22-country Suez Canal conference calling for an international operating authority. "I hope that that is precisely the question he is asking himself," the foreign minister replied. Other officials who took part in the London conference were less gloomy. from tiie foreign ministers of France and West Germany. COMMITTEE MEETS The committee set up to pre- sen^ the. plan to Nasser met to decide how to go about its job. Menzles would give no hint of By GODFREY, ANDERSON . PARIS* (AP)-Thc French cab* inct met for three hours Friday to decide what to do ne?*t if Egypt defies the London conference and sticks lo control of lhe Suez Canal, Although Foreign Minister Christian Pineau said there was no immediate question of using force, the ministers met amidst growing signs it might bc used if further negotiations fail. These were some of the day's developments: , I. French consuls In Egypt warned French women and chil* dren to leave. Men too shuld get out, they laid, unless they had compelling cause to stay. 2. A new staff command was set up in Algiers by Gen. Andre Beauffre for regrouping airborne and light armored units which could join British forces in case a military blow was eecided. France has some 450,000 troop3 fighting nationalist rebels in'Algeria. READY TO MOVE . 3. French air force planes, in-' eluding jet fighter-bombers, were concentrated on several fields around. Paris for possible quick transfer to the Middle East 4. Units of the French Mediterranean fleet, led by the 33,000 ton battleship Jean Bart, headed out to sea for what the navy ministry officially called "exercises." 5. The troopship Pasteur and three freighters were 'standing by ar Marseille. Sixteen ships in other French ports were placed at the disposal of the defence ministry. Although Paris evening newspapers had bold black headlines announcing Nasser was campaigning -for a "holy war" against the West, there was little crisis atmosphere as the cabinet met in the Elysee Palace. Pineau, looking pale and tired, .hurried into the meeting 25 min- ules after it had begun. He had driven straight from the plane which had flown him home from London. Asked at the airfield if force would be used if President Nasser sai'd "no" to,lhc London conference proposals, Pineau replied in English; "The question of force is not yet.

With thc all • important tourist trade doing $4,200,000 worth of bud sincss during that period, lo cite onc of many examples, Jamaica's minister of trade and industry, Wills O. Isaacs, explained thai "if employers of labor would bc wise enough in these conditions lo double the wages of the workers, the spending power of thc people would be doubled." . He blamed continuing low wages and* unemployment on "a new wave of un reason ablness and a desire .lo exploit labor." Almost one man in five Is chronically unemployed. Although exports wcrc up by the equivalent of $9,800,000 for the first six months this year, Uiere is not enough to go around lo feed lhc island's 1,500,000 persons. up! NEED "VENTURE CAPITAL" Despite Increased tourist business, which saw 42,732 visitors come* to Jamaica during the first quarter of this year, there is not enough of whai Jamaican Chief Minister Dr. Norman W. Manlcy calls "venture capital" lo expand the Island's cmploymenl. Tho island's industries, hc said, including the sic able aluminium processing plants, "can employ no more lhan 1,500 -.vorkcrs," The tourist industry has doubled in size during the last six years and almost quadrupled as a source of income. But thc number of steady visitors has dwindled sharply as a result of rising prices. Last year, for example, a hotel room wiih meals on Monlcgo Bay cost in the neighborhood of $45 or $50, compared to an average of $20 for the same accommodations In Miami Beach, Fla. Another source of trouble is the wide gulf between the value of imports and exports, which has found the island, thc largest and most Important British possession in the Caribbean, spending almost $10,000,^00. a year more than It earns. 'One hope for the future Is Uial thc island, which Columbus discovered in 1494 and Britain' seized from Spain in 1655, soon will become thc centre of the proposed British Caribbean Federation. •■*w*fT-rti|*j -..^y-**^*^* ¥ ,#»**■■#-♦■ ■<*^-wmW&ttf^#.Mv Horf ui'T •it '"■' on ?u y nm^y morning at ...- -..- ** ■'» nal ,cclric'keme m]yl0 ,iod a fcw mi Vi1 A C-II I nU,Ckly cal!ed ner fani" "y aml ran for M.,i,nia,,-= io lhe Volunteer Fire Brigade,an _.. t h»mpE-ret| by lack of Wat er iij^ fighting the fire. ) • i% the home of Chesley Clarke at Victoria, Carbonear, nutca 'Ister lhat the house was safely, saving only part nf her "iade to lhe Volunteer Fire Brigade,and their response was-almost im- .MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) - The pathetic remains of month - old Peter Weinberger were found Fri day in a roadside honeysuckle bower on Long Island. His kidnapper had abandoned him there, callously dooming him to dcatlr. A 31*year-old taxicab driver and mechanic was formally accused of kidnapping the baby from the patio of his Westbury, N.Y,, homo July 4, and abandoning the infant the nert day. The man, Angclo J. Lamarca, bushy-haired father of two rmall children of his own, was quoted by police as. saying he 'abandoned the child in panic after a vain attempt to collect a $2,000 ransom to meet a mounting pile of debts. Authorities said Lamarca claimed the baby was alive when hc placed jt in underbrush beside a heavily-travelled Long Island iParkway a half mile north of thc Lamarca home in Plain view, MAY RE MURDER CHARGE "Even if the child was alive when it was placed on thc ground, it may well constitute murder," said district-attorney Frank Gul* otta. Under New York law, a person who causes a death while committing a felony is liable lo first* who causes a death while committing a felony is liable to first-degree murder charges, punishable by death in the electric chair. Kidnapping also carries a mar* imum-penalty of death in the electric chair. Lamarca, dejected and with bowed head, was taken into Nas*; sau County district court hcrc on a kidnapping charge, Hc was held without bail for a further hearing next Friday. Authorities were trying to determine where Lamarca fept the chvldmlhe night of July 4. There •were unconfirmed reports that he sought sanctuary with friends In Brooklyn and that new arrests might bp in the oiling, SAYS OTHERS INVOLVED Lantarca'S wife told reporters: "Someone else is involved bul he won't say who,' Little Peter was 32 days old when he was snatched from his carriage as he napped after a mld*morning feeding. His mother had left him alone on thc patio while she went Into lhc eight- room Weinberger ranch home on a brief errand. Police said -Lamarca, bent on kidnap and with a ransom note ready,- happened along and took the child merely because it was available. He did not know the hc had set' out to seize the first child he could get his hands on. , The - all but disintegrated remains of Utile Peter were found Friday- by FBI agent J. Robert Bogcr, 38> He recounted: '"I was searching with- olrer agents", and detectives organized for. an Inch by inch'search, I cam*c upon one of'several tangles of vines and then I went down; on my hands and knees anti looked under bramhlj* and discovered a safely pin and what appeared to be clothing. "Upon close Inspection, It .ap- carcd to be the remains of a body." STRUCK WITH HORROR The parents of thc baby, Mr. and Mrs. Morris Weinberger, were struck mute with horror when they were officialy informed the body had been found. The reaction was severe, very severe/ said a member of lhe family. The couple, Beatrice, 32, and Morris, 46, had desperately hoped and dtyercet o pnhda iuth' ' . Morris, 46, had desperately hoped and prayed to the end for the childs safe return, even during the hours when the baby was known to hc dead but before the body was found. The finding of Peter's body wrote a tragic enri to the greatest kidnap hunt in thc New York area in nearly 20 years. The parents' hopes for the. child's return periodically had been spurred by a series of cruel "hoax letters and telephone calls from persons claiming knowledge of lhe child's whereabouts and safety. Several times early in the case such calls sent lhe mother or father out into the night with thousands of dollars In cash, seeking in vain a promised rendezvous with the kidnapper. FORMER BOOTLEGGER Lamarca, described by police as a former bootlegger, was arrested at his home at 2:15 a.m. EDT Thursday. "He needed money before but he never did anything like' that," Lamarca's brunette 31 - year - old wife, Donna, told reporters. Their two children are Vincent, 9, and Vivian, 6, As to the guilt or innocence of her husband of 1Q-4 years, 'Mrs.: Lamarca said. "I don't know.' She described Lamarca, a me dium-sized man with a thin moustache, as a wounded overseas veteran of the Second World War. She said he had been "depressed about our bills.' Lamarca was quoted as saying he went to pick up a dummy ransom package when he was frightened away by a horde of police and reporters in lhe area. As he drove ont oncarby'North ern State Parkway police said, he heard a radio news broadcast on the kidnapping, Panicky with the realization lhat the Weinbergers had gone-to the police and that a manhunt was on, Lamarca was quoted as saying he abandoned tlie baby about 150 feet off the parkway on the road that leads to his home. There the baby's tiny body soon was encased in a bower of honeysuckle' vines and leaves, apparently a natural crypt formed by the winds of summer. Nfld.

(AP)-Pelcr Weinberger's parents prayed and believed until the very end. \Unlil the final hope - crushing word that the baby's body j had been found, the Morris Weinbergers clung tenaciously to their faith tliat a miracle would bring their kidnapped son back-to them alive. "We are still praying that our child is alive and well and is. being cared for by someone, somewhere," Mrs. Betty Weinberger said. "Wc will not believe otherwise until we hear to the contrary from some one in authority," shc said firmly. Even after police' ^grimly o searched for the baby's body about eight miles from their home Uie Weinbergers continued hoping. "We cannot put into words our feeling at Uie present timc," Mrs, Weinberger declared. STILL HELD FIRM Even Thursday when police lold the parents the details of the crime, Morris and Betty Weinberger held firm. Friday morning clinging to their faith lhat has been -so strong since their child was kidnapped they went on with their prayers and their long vigil. Just five minutes before they were told their son's body had been found, Weinberger looked up at a handful of relatives and close friends in the living room-of his; told, ranchhouse home and said: . |. "There was a profound silence Lindburgh Case Recalled NEW YORK (Cf) - The dis- covery Friday of the decomposed .body of kidnapped Peter Weinbcr-' ger in roadside underbrush on Long Island recalls the pattern of the Lindbergh kidnapping case of the 1930s. The body of the month-old Weinberger baby vvas found Sl* days after he was taken from the patio on his parents' home in West- bury. The spot was eight miles from* the spot where his empty carriage still stands. ■ ' The body was discovered under similar circumstances to that of the Lindbergh case, onc of the most sensational -crimes of the 1330s! Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr. son of thc famed'American flier, ,was taken from the family, home at the Toot of Sourland Mountain, near Hopewell, NJ., Mar. l, 1932. Seventy-one days' later the de* compostfd body-of the child;. 20- months-old at lhe time of his.dis appearance, was found in a. thicket less than five miles from the Lindbergh home. TURNED OVER $50,000 Prior to the finding of the body, John Condon—a New York school teacher named as an intermediary to, reach the kidnapper who demarfded $50,000 ransom—threw a package containing the money over a hedge in a Bronx cemetery.' He Was told the baby was alive and well. . But the child was never returned. His body was found near the Lindbergh home, May 12. Bruno Hauptmann of the Bronx, N.Y., was subsequently charged with the crime after $13,000 'was found -in a garage at the rear of his home, A bill passed at a Bronx service station led police i to tlie suspect. " JapVmann. proclaiming his innocence to the end, was found guilty of the kidnapping and executed April' 3, J33«. ./ "There's no question in my mind ■ and they looked at each other," that the baby is still alive." said one member of tlie family. Then arrived tlie moment that "There was little any one of us the( Weinbergers have refused :to could say. Thc reaction was se* believe would come. They werelvere, vcry severe." Another Surplus For Canada Last Month .OTTAWA (C. .P) - The government chalked up a $110,000,000 budgetary surplus in July as corporation income tax yields continued to soar, i Tne July surplus, $47,600,000 higher than a year ago, boosted of the 1956-57 fiscal year to $330,- 364,000-almost triple the $131,952,- year. Finance' Minister Harris, who reported climbing revenues1 in his sued Friday, last April forecast monthly treasury statement issued Friday, last April forecast a surplus of $113,000,000 for the entire year. , But informants recently estimated the actual surplus from the expanding economy may total about $300,000,000. Last year Mr. Harris originally forecast a difi- clt of $160,000,000. The deficit later turned out to be only $33,000,- 000. Bulging surpluses vin the first part of the year usuaUy are trimmed in varying degrees by a heavy flow of bills towards thc year end. SPENDING RISE In July, government spending rose by some $40,000,000 inainly because of higher defer.;* and public debt charges, but revenues climbed by some $90,000,000. Pushed .ahejd to some extent by higher corporation income tax I and other yields, total revenue rose to $459,851,000 from $369,807,- 000 a year ago. ■ This boosted the four-month total by some $28"),00O,OO0 to $1,613,- 332,000 from $1,332,056,000 in the similar period* last'year. Yields from the corporation income tax in July ilimbed to $132,- 329,000, up from $31,832,000 last year, increasing the four-month take to $445,789,000. This is roughly $128,000,000 higher than last year's $317*894,000. , Revenues from personal Income tax also rose, increasing to $136,- 726,000 from $123,630,000 in the month and to $464,253,000' from $400,504,000 in the' four months.

By WATSON SIMS LONDON- (AP)-Sovict, Foreign Minister Dmitri Shepilov warned Friday night that serious consequences may result in thc Middle East if the West tries to break Egypt's grip on thc Suez Canal. Thc 22-country London conference on Sue;; Is sending a five- power committee lo propose international control of the canal lo Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Masser. Australia's Prime Minister Rob- eft G. Mcnzics, committee chairman, called at thc Egyptian Embassy Friday night in the first formal iriove to arrange a meeting .with Nasser in Cairo, Addressing a press conference at the Soviet Embassy, Spehilov said: "It would be wrong to underestimate the gravity of the situation that might arise as a result of tlie activity of quarters in he United Stales, Britain or France lo seek to have tbe problem settled from positions of strength." VIOLATED CHARTER He charged that military pre* parations during the Suez crisis were "flagrant violation of tho United Nations charter." Without mentioning" specifically the preparedness moves of Britain and France, Shepilov said: "Only persons who have lost all sense of responsibility would think of making ultimatums and military preparations. Military demonstrations can be regarded only Stata Secretary Dulles, chipper and smiling as he left for New York, predicted acceptance of the majority proposal. Russia, India, Ceylon and, Indonesia dissented from the majority. Other forecasts of success came Issue what went on. 'jit is so tremendously import- antsthat I feel we shall alTbehaVf like Trappist monks," he said. The committee is composed of representatives from Australia, Ethiopia, Iran, Sweden and the United States. Indian envoy V. K.

French Cabinet Meets To Map Suez Policy If Egypt Defies Conference as an effort to put pressure on Egypt in violation of her sovereignty," "The Soviet Union considers U necessary to voice a warning regarding the serolus' consequences in the Middle East that might be brought about if the position in the Suez Canal were to bc changed." ( ANOTHER WARNING Another warning came from British Foreign Minister Selwyn Lloyd—this onc to Egypt. He told a TV audience that for Nasser to reject lntenational authority over the canal's operation would be "a very serious matter." Lloyd was asked what would happeh if Nasser says no to the committee in its majority demand from the 22-country Suez Canal conference calling for an international operating authority. "I hope that that is precisely the question he is asking himself," the foreign minister replied. Other officials who took part in the London conference were less gloomy. from tiie foreign ministers of France and West Germany.

PARIS* (AP)-Thc French cab* inct met for three hours Friday to decide what to do ne?*t if Egypt defies the London conference and sticks lo control of lhe Suez Canal, Although Foreign Minister Christian Pineau said there was no immediate question of using force, the ministers met amidst growing signs it might bc used if further negotiations fail. These were some of the day's developments: , I. French consuls In Egypt warned French women and chil* dren to leave. Men too shuld get out, they laid, unless they had compelling cause to stay. 2. A new staff command was set up in Algiers by Gen. Andre Beauffre for regrouping airborne and light armored units which could join British forces in case a military blow was eecided.

Units of the French Mediterranean fleet, led by the 33,000 ton battleship Jean Bart, headed out to sea for what the navy ministry officially called "exercises." 5. The troopship Pasteur and three freighters were 'standing by ar Marseille. Sixteen ships in other French ports were placed at the disposal of the defence ministry. Although Paris evening newspapers had bold black headlines announcing Nasser was campaigning -for a "holy war" against the West, there was little crisis atmosphere as the cabinet met in the Elysee Palace. Pineau, looking pale and tired, .hurried into the meeting 25 min- ules after it had begun. He had driven straight from the plane which had flown him home from London. Asked at the airfield if force would be used if President Nasser sai'd "no" to,lhc London conference proposals, Pineau replied in English; "The question of force is not yet.

With thc all • important tourist trade doing $4,200,000 worth of bud sincss during that period, lo cite onc of many examples, Jamaica's minister of trade and industry, Wills O. Isaacs, explained thai "if employers of labor would bc wise enough in these conditions lo double the wages of the workers, the spending power of thc people would be doubled." . He blamed continuing low wages and* unemployment on "a new wave of un reason ablness and a desire .lo exploit labor." Almost one man in five Is chronically unemployed. Although exports wcrc up by the equivalent of $9,800,000 for the first six months this year, Uiere is not enough to go around lo feed lhc island's 1,500,000 persons. up! NEED "VENTURE CAPITAL" Despite Increased tourist business, which saw 42,732 visitors come* to Jamaica during the first quarter of this year, there is not enough of whai Jamaican Chief Minister Dr. Norman W. Manlcy calls "venture capital" lo expand the Island's cmploymenl. Tho island's industries, hc said, including the sic able aluminium processing plants, "can employ no more lhan 1,500 -.vorkcrs," The tourist industry has doubled in size during the last six years and almost quadrupled as a source of income. But thc number of steady visitors has dwindled sharply as a result of rising prices. Last year, for example, a hotel room wiih meals on Monlcgo Bay cost in the neighborhood of $45 or $50, compared to an average of $20 for the same accommodations In Miami Beach, Fla. Another source of trouble is the wide gulf between the value of imports and exports, which has found the island, thc largest and most Important British possession in the Caribbean, spending almost $10,000,^00. a year more than It earns. 'One hope for the future Is Uial thc island, which Columbus discovered in 1494 and Britain' seized from Spain in 1655, soon will become thc centre of the proposed British Caribbean Federation. •■*w*fT-rti|*j -..^y-**^*^* ¥ ,#»**■■#-♦■ ■<*^-wmW&ttf^#.Mv Horf ui'T •it '"■' on ?u y nm^y morning at ...- -..- ** ■'» nal ,cclric'keme m]yl0 ,iod a fcw mi Vi1 A C-II I nU,Ckly cal!ed ner fani" "y aml ran for M.,i,nia,,-= io lhe Volunteer Fire Brigade,an _.. t h»mpE-ret| by lack of Wat er iij^ fighting the fire. ) • i% the home of Chesley Clarke at Victoria, Carbonear, nutca 'Ister lhat the house was safely, saving only part nf her "iade to lhe Volunteer Fire Brigade,and their response was-almost im- .MINEOLA, N.Y.

His mother had left him alone on thc patio while she went Into lhc eight- room Weinberger ranch home on a brief errand. Police said -Lamarca, bent on kidnap and with a ransom note ready,- happened along and took the child merely because it was available.

"Upon close Inspection, It .ap- carcd to be the remains of a body." STRUCK WITH HORROR The parents of thc baby, Mr. and Mrs. Morris Weinberger, were struck mute with horror when they were officialy informed the body had been found. The reaction was severe, very severe/ said a member of lhe family. The couple, Beatrice, 32, and Morris, 46, had desperately hoped and dtyercet o pnhda iuth' ' . Morris, 46, had desperately hoped and prayed to the end for the childs safe return, even during the hours when the baby was known to hc dead but before the body was found. The finding of Peter's body wrote a tragic enri to the greatest kidnap hunt in thc New York area in nearly 20 years. The parents' hopes for the. child's return periodically had been spurred by a series of cruel "hoax letters and telephone calls from persons claiming knowledge of lhe child's whereabouts and safety. Several times early in the case such calls sent lhe mother or father out into the night with thousands of dollars In cash, seeking in vain a promised rendezvous with the kidnapper. FORMER BOOTLEGGER Lamarca, described by police as a former bootlegger, was arrested at his home at 2:15 a.m. EDT Thursday. "He needed money before but he never did anything like' that," Lamarca's brunette 31 - year - old wife, Donna, told reporters. Their two children are Vincent, 9, and Vivian, 6, As to the guilt or innocence of her husband of 1Q-4 years, 'Mrs.: Lamarca said. "I don't know.' She described Lamarca, a me dium-sized man with a thin moustache, as a wounded overseas veteran of the Second World War. She said he had been "depressed about our bills.' Lamarca was quoted as saying he went to pick up a dummy ransom package when he was frightened away by a horde of police and reporters in lhe area. As he drove ont oncarby'North ern State Parkway police said, he heard a radio news broadcast on the kidnapping, Panicky with the realization lhat the Weinbergers had gone-to the police and that a manhunt was on, Lamarca was quoted as saying he abandoned tlie baby about 150 feet off the parkway on the road that leads to his home. There the baby's tiny body soon was encased in a bower of honeysuckle' vines and leaves, apparently a natural crypt formed by the winds of summer. Nfld.

Finance' Minister Harris, who reported climbing revenues1 in his sued Friday, last April forecast monthly treasury statement issued Friday, last April forecast a surplus of $113,000,000 for the entire year. , But informants recently estimated the actual surplus from the expanding economy may total about $300,000,000.
