Silence Is Rule
In KidnapCase

WESTBURY. N. Y, July IA (P1.
The hunt for the kidnaper of
little Peter Weinberger con-
tinued today.
Police officials made plans to
drain rainwater impounding
basins in this Long Island COM
munity where the child was abb
Quoted 10 days ago.
They felt a drain basin might
conceal the body of the 6-week-
old baby, or perhaps yield some
clue.
The FBI, following long tradi-
ton, gave no information on its
activities. The FBI has been in
the case officially for three days.
Will Pay Anything"
Nassau County Chief of Detec-
tive Stuyvesant Pinnel, who
handled the early stages of the
investigation, changed his policy
to one of silence to conform with
the FBI's practice.
I'VE are engaged in police
work." was all he would say to
newsmen who asked him about
developments yesterday.
David Holman, uncle Of the
mother, Mrs. Morris Weinberger,
said 1.-The parents are willing to
pay anything. even If it means
giving up everything they own"
But he added the parents feel
it is no longer a question of
money, that the kidnaper is too
frightened to return the child.
Kidnap Bill Advances
In Washington, meanwhile, a
House Judiciary subcommittee
approved a bill yesterday to
allow the FBI to enter kidnapping
cases "a hours, instead Of seven
days. after they occur.
Representative Kenneth B.
Heating, Republican of New
York. introduced the measure
last year and pressed for action
on it after the Weinberger kid
mapping. He said he will ask that
all procedure be expedited so the
bill can be passed at this session
of Congress.
Under present law, the FBI
can enter a kidnapping case only
after seven days have elapsed or
when the victim has been carried
across a State line. After seven
days. the law presumes the kid
naper has crossed a State line.

mittee to name substitute.
The chairman of the committee
is T. Barton Harrington. who is
involved in a dispute with Mayor
D'Alesandro.
Mr.. Mahoney was narrowly
beaten by Mr.. Tydings in the
Democratic primary for the Sem
ate nomination.
Mr.. Pressman said failure to
give the nomination to Mr.. Ma
honey in event that Mr.. Tydings
steps out would constitute a slap
in the face Of everyone who
voted for him. 1t would also
assure defeat for the Democratic
candidate.
The Republican nominee is
John Marshall Butler, seeking
reelection.
Disruption Charge Mentioned
Mr.. Pressman told the Mayor:
IF you persist in your plan. it
will prove that Mr.. Harrington
was correct in his charge that
you are causing disruption in
the Democratic Party"
The mayor and Mr.. Harring-
ton have been arguing over eff
forts to give some veteran party
leaders last minute appointments
to the State delegation to the
national convention in Chicago
next month.
They were left of when forces
behind Mr.. Mahoney captured
control of the State convention.
Mr.. D'Alesandro was on the
Tydings side and since then has
been trying to have changes
made in the delegation.
Michael j. Birmingham. who
was elected to replace Mayor
D'Alesandro as national COM
mitteeman, appeared amenable.
But Mr.. Harrington said yester-
day it is up to him to name re-
placements for any vacancies on
the delegation and there is no
Aacancy."

Gas Strike Ends
In St. Louis

ST. LOUIS. July IA ga
13-day strike that had cut off
natural gas service to an esti-
mated 10000 families in the st.
Louis area ended today.
The Laclede Gas Co. pledged
every effort to restore normal
service as soon as possible. It
was welcome news to the thou
sands who had been enduring
cold water baths and using
makeshift cooking and refrig-
Grating substitutes.
An end to the strike was forced
by legal action taken by the
State of Missouri, which seized
the company nine days agb un-
der the g-Thompson law
prohibiting strikes in public utili-'
ties.
The issues which produced the
strike remain unresolved.
The 2,200 striking members of
Oil, Chemical 81 Atomic Workers

penalties under a court injunc-
tion-voted last night to return
to their jobs today.
The vote came a few hours
after Circuit Judge Ivan Lee
Holt. jr.. granted the States re-
quest for a permanent injunc-
ton directing an end to the
walkout. The ruling came at
the conclusion of a three-day
hearing.
Judge Holt denied a union re-
quest that the King Thompson
law be declared unconstitutional.
Earlier the State had filed
suit, under the King Thompson
Act, for $4,000 in fines against
the three union locals and their
leaders.
Main issue in the dispute is

NIT contractors to handle gas
connections on new installations.

Oregon Rains
Isolate Town as
Canyon Floods

PRINEV1LLE, Greg, July IA
R.-A cloudburst sent roaring
wall of water down the sage
brush-lined Reyes Creek Can
yon and caused heavy damage in
the little Central Oregon town
of Mitchell last night.
Roads were cut and no one
could get into the town at mid
night, but State police said il
seemed that the improbable had
happened-no one was killed, al
though at least 20 buildings were
reported smashed.
Meager reports from the iso-
lated town indicated the 400
townspeople-wary from four
previous flash floods in the
towns history-had spotted the
cloudburst in the Ochoco Noun
tains to the south and had fled
up from the canyon bottom be-
fore the torrent struck.
One PatrOlman in Town
One State patrolman happened
to be in the town at the time,
and, although radio communica-
ton was difficult because of the
canyon walls, he got out one
radio report that there were no
known casualties.
The water that spilled down
from the pine-covered noun
tains into the sparse juniper and
SagebruSh hills around Mitchell
must have sent the creek 40 to
so feet higher than normal, Cen
trail Oregon residents reported.
They could get only within five
miles of Mitchell, then ran into
a 200-foot-wide break in the
road where Bridge Creek, after
accepting the water of Reyes
Creek, crosses U. S. Highway 26,
about 40 miles east of Prineville.
Debris Above Creek
THE creek still was too high
to cross. but it must have been
at least 40 feet higher earlier be-
cause there were logs, and tables
and chairs and timbers piled up
that far above the creek" said
Mrs. Elsie Miksche. an Associat-
ed Press correspondent who
drove there from Prineville.
Il found a child's teddy bear
a bicycle tire and other debris
You can't imagine how the high
way looks. It's piled with logs
parts of houses and furniture, y
said Merv jenkins, another re-
porter from Prineville.
The first word of the disaster
came on a Forest Service line on
a call to the State police at Bend
The town reported 20 buildings
destroyed and asked help. A Sec
ond call said the post office, a
filling station and a trailer park
were destroyed. All other COM
lines had been
washed away. and no more cllis
came over that line.
