One a hostage -the other the embittered man with an injured back who held the pistol. For 12 '.-2 hours an unem ployed steamfitter held a gun to the head of an attorney. At the same time, an expert rifle man was poised-ready to end the life of Charles E. Milii gan, the steamfitter. But death was made unnec essary when two cunning po licemen posing as reporters overpowered the stocky 50-year-old steamfitter. A hearing Into Milligan'j industrial compensation case was just getting started when he pulled , the gun from a small box. Grabbed for Gun His attorney, Stephen Go rcy, shouted "No, no, Milli gan." Gorey grabbed for the gun, but the floors were slippery and he staggered. The gun went off. The next thing Go rey remembered, he was lying on the floor. He had been shot in the left thigh. Milligan allowed him to be taken to a hospital but forced the other six in the room lo remain to conduct a hearing into his case. Police could have killed Milligan any time they chose. But they were afraid the gun he held next to the head of Attorney D. J. . Morgan Jr. may have discharged on a dy ing reflex. Detectives Earl Moore and Don Rodriguez went into the room posing as newsmen, Mil ligan finally allowed the five hostages to go, but kept his pistol against the head of the courageous Morgan, Began Questioning Rodriguez and Moore were unarmed. Rodriguez began to question Milligan as if he were a reporter. During the conversation, Milligan pointed the gun at Moore while reaching for a glass of water. Rodriguez grabbed the stcainfitter's right arm and forced it down and Moore joined the struggle to subdue him. One shot was fired before Milligan was handcuffed and hustled from the third floor chamber. He was charged with as sault with a deadly weapon. Morgan was not allowed to move during the hours of con fused testimony forced by Milligan. "For 1 2 1 i hours I have been watching that clock," said the relieved attorney. "I have heard the expression 'under the gun.' Now 1 know what it means." Never Saw Gun He said he never saw the gun, but felt it during the tes timony and reference to rec ords of Milligan's bark Injury suffered in the building of Glen Canyon dam. Compensation for Milligan had been stopped and he re cently picketed the office building in protest. At the hearing, he was asking for re instatement of compensation and for a back operation. x ", ::. 1 'sr:i:-w:'-,r'''-:-.-''s'S h ' " h j.:;1 v A" j V it' 5 ;it; t i ,A u ; ,v j ' . t , J Kx ' ' --wr 1 - r - vte -V -r At SIEGE ENDS Police secure the hands of he held six hostages at gunpoint in Phoenix, embittered steamfitter Charles E.

(UPI) Enforcement of 1858 Water Right Perils Linn Farms Brownsville -IUPD- The en forcement of an 1858 Cala pooya river water right by a flour mill here has caused the closure of irrigation pipes for several farms in this Linn county area. Nelson Janes of the Browns ville AltaVista bean yard said the water stoppage could mean a loss of over $100,000. Assistant State Engineer George Naderman said the mill can enforce its right be cause of developed priority when it established the right in 1858. The water is being shut off to farms in order of their priority. Farmers' arranged a meet ing on the situation with Or val Thompson, attorney for the Thompson flour mill. State Water Master Floyd Siegmund began shutting oft water for irrigation Tuesday after the mill claimed its flow of water was insufficient. The mill's rights allow it to take 35 cubic feet of water a sec ond from the river. Siegmund told farmers the state is stopping irrigation as fast as possible because the river is too low for the mill's electric generators to operate. In past years the Calapooya irrigation district, formed by farmers, has made an agree ment to help the mill pay for commercial electricity if the river runs low. The district was unable to explain why no agreement was made this year.

Karl E. Mundt (R-S.D.) said today testimony shows Billie Sol Estes had "a man Friday in the Department nf Agricul ture." But Sen. Edmund S. Muskie (D-Maine) cautioned against "premature" judg ments in the case. The. two members oT the Senate investigations subcom mittee stated their views ns the panel scheduled further testimony on Estes' cotton al lotment transfers. No wit nesses were announced. Approval Urged Mundt's comments were oc casioned by testimony Thurs day about a memo, prepared about Jan. 24. 1962, which recommended that the depart ment, ill effect, approve Estes' disputed 1961 cotton allotment transfers and give him allot ments for the 1862 crop year. Joseph A. Moss, head of the department's cotton division, testified that he gave some "technical advice'' for the memo although he disagreed with its recommendations. 'Significant' Testimony He testified thai it was writ ten by Emery E. (Red) Jacobs, who resigned his post in the department under charges that he took expensive gills from Estes. Mundt called the testimony on the document "some nf the most significant" heard in the long inquiry. He said, how ever, that he is not sure that its preparation was as des cribed. He suggested that some "mystery man" in the depart ment may have given orders for its drafting. "It is evident." said Mundt. "that Billie Sol Estes had a man Friday in the Depart ment of Agriculture who ex ercised a lot of authority ' Questioned Closely Muskie questioned Moss closely Thursday about what happened after the memo was written. He stressed that the department a week later re quired a certification from Estes and certain other farm ers that their allotment trans fers were bona fide, lie drew from Moss the statement that - as far as Moss knew - the proposals in the memo were made only by Jacobs. ?
