Questioned on Proviso
If such is the case, the Sena-

added to the Pentagon's aS-

after the completion of his term

The proviso, Senator Hennings

holds unless the department
arranges for a discharge prior
to the termination of service, in
which case the character Of the
discharge can be based on pre-
induction activities in the past
The Senator told Mr.. Wilson

bringing death to tiny Peter
Weinberger.
A 23-member Nassau County
grand jury indicted La Marcs

La Marca was neatly dressed in
a light blue shirt and dark gray
slackS, his heavy shock of black
hair carefully brushed. He stood
glumly. his eyes downcast, dur
ing the brief proceedings.
His attorney, David Markowitz
asked for a delay in arraignment
to study the Indictment" The
prosecution didn't object. County
Judge Cyril J. Brown then set
September 5 to hear the defense
plea.
Mr.. Markowitz has indicated
1t will be Temporary insanity /"
He says La. Marca's deed was
brought on by "his desperation
over debts. We believe that he
was unable to distinguish right
from wrong"

the month-old infant from a crib
in the yard Of the Weinbergers'
Westbury home July 4. Then,
frightened while trying to collect
$4,000 ransom. he is alleged to
