Sept. 18 (P)- The police officer in charge of the Weinberger kidnap case says premature publicity in a New York city newspaper led to the death of the 32-day-old baby, Peter.

Stuyvesant Pinnell, Nassau county detective chief, did not name the newspaper, but he said it refused to withhold the story and help maintain secrecy in police efforts to recover the child alive. "I would not want such a decision on my conscience," Pinnell said. The New York Daily News was first on the streets with the story several hours after the July 4 kidnapping. Paper Prints Explanation In an editor's note in today's editions, News said: "John MacDonald, Nassau police secretary, officially asked the News to withhold the kidnapping story in a telephone call to the city desk at approximately 9.15 P.M.

MacDonald, in making the call, remarked that he had already phoned two other New York city morning newspapers and one afternoon paper. There are four morning newspapers published daily in Manhattan, The News' Nassau county correspondent, Ben White, said MacDonald first asked him to suppress the kidnap story at 8.15 P.M.

Shand said the paper got an early tip on the kidnapping and printed the story 8.30 P.M. edition unaware of any police request to hold up the news.
