—BABY’S CORPSE Long Island. His wife. Domenica. was taken to headquarters Thursday night for questioning but police said she had been absolved of any' part in the crime and no legal action was planned against her. LaMarca, who police said appeared “calm and unruffled’’ durr.g the questioning, told them he had picked the Weinberger home at random last July 4 when he decided a kidnap was the best way to get much-needed money. He said he wrote the kidnap note in his old-model Plymouth .vhile parked near the Weinbergers’ comfortable ranch-style home. When Mrs. Beatrice Weinberger 32, went into the house for a moment, leaving the child in its carriage on the patio, LaMarca took the baby' and sped off.

I 'he cooler air covered the Great Lakes region and extended southwestward to Missouri and west to the Dakotas. Weathermen said tornadoes which struck the Chicago suburbs of Tinley Park and Monee, 111., were spawned b\’ the cool front which also triggered heavyrains which was curb-deep in downtown Chicago streets. At least four persons were injured by the twisters, all at Tinley Park where at least 15 homes were wrecked. Nine homes were totally destroyed while other homes were not fit for living. Red Cross disaster crews rushed to the towm shortly after the tornado struck. The ether tornado struck farther south at Monee, ramming into a truck weighing station at the outskirts of the town. Heavy vehicles were spun into the air. One driver rode out the twister in his cab while his truck spun in the air 30 feet off the ground, police said. He was not hurt. On the New Jersey Turnpike, heavy fog was blamed for two chain-reaction crashes that killed at least one person and injured about 30 others. Thirteen cars were wrecked or damaged.

Other speakers will be Tucker, senatorial candidate Claude Wickard, and national chairman Paul Butler, who said in Washington this week he will stay on as national committeeman from Indiana. Butler indicated earlier he would resign that job if he is kept as national chairman. State, local and congressional candidates also will be on hand.
