Richard Sehweiker, picked to head the Department of Health and Human Services. Before today. Haig and Rea-

Brady, 40, has been Reagan’s press secretary throughout the transition but was not offered the job on a permanent basis until last Friday. The president-elect hosts a dinner Wednesday for all the people he has nominated to be Cabinet secretaries and plans to meet with them again Thursday. Brady said the meetings would focus on administration goals and specific issues. Reagan’s trip coincided with the opening of Senate committee hearings today for his nominees to head the departments of the Treasury, Defense. Agriculture, Commerce, and Health and Human Services. The committees will question the nominees and recommend whether the Senate should confirm their appointments.

Tear gas barrage ends siege VEVAY, Ind. (AP) - An Indiana man who held his estranged wife hostage in a remote farmhouse was captured by police after helicopters dropped tear gas into the house. The man, identified as Raymond McClellan, 49, Vevav, was held on a charge of criminal confinement and also on Kentucky warrants charging him with homicide, kidnapping and burglary. Authorities said McClellan, a laid off government worker, held 40 officers at bay for more than 10 hours Monday before releasing his wife, Bernadette Catherine McClellan, and running into a woods where state police seized him. Two male hostages were released earlier, officers said. “It all went very well,” state police Sgt. Kenneth Greaves said. “It couldn’t have gone any better.” No one was hurt. McClellan was taken directly to the Switzerland County jail. Authorities said McClellan waived extradition and would be taken to Jefferson County, Ky., to face formal charges in the death of Gary Stutzenburger, 35. McClellan allegedly burst in on Stutzenburger and Mrs. McClellan at Stutzenburger’s Louisville apartment around 4 a.m. Monday. Indiana police said McClellan shot and killed Stutzenburger and forced his wife into a car. driving 80 miles northeast to Vevay. A state trooper spotted him and followed. A few miles outside Vevay, McClellan stopped and fired several shots at the trooper, officers said. The trooper said he punctured McClellan’s car tires with gunshots, and McClellan dragged his wife to a nearby farmhouse, police said. Stutzenberger and Mrs. MeClellan swore out warrants Sunday, charging McClellan with terroristic threatening. Mrs. McClellan said in the warrant in Jefferson District Court her husband threatened her life and the life of a child. Stuzenberger stated in the warrant McClellan rammed his pickup truck with his automobile. McClellan, who was armed with a rifle, reportedly first agreed to surrender to police at 3 p.m. after he asked for and received a gold wedding ring for his wife. He also asked for a priest but later agreed to meet with one at the Switzerland County jail. Roger May, a tenant of the farmhouse, was released about half an hour later, police said, and a bottled gas delivery’ man. Richard Cloat of East Enterprise. Ind., was released about 11 a.m. Police said McClellan was released from prison recently after convictions of two bank robberies in 1975.
