Six Held Hostage Over Half A Day

PHOENIX, Ariz. (UPI) — Two men were seconds from death Thursday. One a hostage — the other the embittered man with an injured back who held the pistol. For 12% hours an unemployed steamfitter held a gun to the head of an attorney. At the same time, an expert rifleman was poised — ready to end the life of Charles E. Milligan, the steamfitter. But death was made unnecessary when two cunning policemen posing as reporters overpowered the stocky 50-year-old steamfitter. A hearing into Milligan’s industrial compensation case was just getting started when he pulled the gun from a small box. Grabbed For Gun • His attorney, Stephen Gorey, shouted: “No. no, Milligan.” Gorey grabbed for the gun, but the floors were slippery and he staggered. The gun went off. The next thing Gorey 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 to remain to conduct a hearing into his case. - ” Police could have killed Milligan anytime 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 dying reflex. Five of the six hostages were not allowed to leave the room. The sixth left for water, but went back. It was. the, only nourishment the seven men involved in the forced hearing on the steamfitter’s compensation had the entire day. Went In Unarmed Detectives Earl Moore and Don Rodriguez went into the room posing as newsmen. Milligan finally allowed five hostages to go, but kept his pistol against the head of the courageous Morgan. Rodriguez and Moore were unarmed. Rodiriguez 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 steamfitter’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 assault with a deadly weapon.

Stahr, Jr., presidept of Indiana University, said Thursday he plans expansion of the state school’s extension center facilities in addition to increasing the main campus facilties to take care of the expected deluge of students. 1 Speaking in Fort Wayne at the beginning of a tour of the extension centers, Stahr said there would be no raising of academic standards to weed out students. “We are in the business to educate, not eliminate,” he said. “When we reach the point when we become an exclusive institution, then I think we’ve defeated our own purpose.” , Stahr said he planned to follow a two-point program to keep the school’s facilities abreast of the influx of students. He said tie plans to increase both extension center and main campus facilities. “The center program is distinctly superior in almost every category to the junior college programs being tried in other states,” he said. Stahr said the center’s affiliation with a university made for a more soundly based education for students who sincerely desire to earn a college degree. He said with expansion the centers would become comparable io the smaller colleges in foreign countries.

Berne City Council Proposes Rate Hike The Berne city council has proposed raising its 1963 city tax levy from a total of $73,881.74 this year to $79,134, a $5,000 increase. If the net taxable valuation is decreased to the estimated $4,230,000 from $4,346,430, this would mean mean a 19-cent rate increase over the current year. If the valuation is up, the increase would be less, and if it is down from the estimate, it will be more. Recreation Doubled A ten-cent recreation levy, to raise $4,294, is proposed, double last year’s allowed rate of five cents, which raised $2,173. Six cents had been requested for this year. The line item properties was increased $2,000, to $3,500 from $1,500; personal services were up S2OO to $800; contractual services i up $l5O to $900; and materials up $25 to $225, for a total of $5,975, compared with $3,600 from the year before. New Fire Engines Slight increases in the police, fire sanitation, and auditorium “services personal” listing indicated slight raises in salaries there. A major purchase is indicated . for the fire department, which has laised “properties” from $1,250 to $8,500, in the general budget, which is up about SB,OOO higher than this year. The proposed general rate is up to $1.58, or $66,092, from $1.34 or $58,236.14. The street fund is down considerably, in amount to be received from, property tax, from $13,472.60 to $8,748, although the budget is actually up, from $28,000 to $28,844. This year there is a $10,787 balance in the fund, compared with zero last year, and $5,871 mure expected from taxation. Also, more than SB,OOO additional is expected from state gas taxes. This means that the department will carry an operi a ting balance of $3,805 in 1963, [ compared with $2,968.81 in 1962. If the estimated property valuation is correct, the street assessment rate would be down ten cents cents, to 21 cents, it may go lower than that, however. Sherri Finkbine In Los Angeles Today PHOENIX, Ariz. (UPD — The whereabouts of Sherri Finkbine was unknown' today but it seemed likely she had secluded herself in Los Angeles to await a flight to a foreign land to have an abortion. Mrs. Finkbine, who fears her I unborn child is deformed because she took thalidomide during the early days of her pregnancy, and her husband booked passage on a plane leaving Los Angeles at 11:30 a.m. PDT for Europe. She had sought to have an abortion in Arizona but was unable to obtain legal sanction. Her doctors told her an abortion must be performed no later than Sunday or a Caesarian section will be necessary. Mrs. Finkbine, a Phoenix television personality, decided to have an abortion after it was made known that thousands of mothers who tocfc thalidomide, a German-made tranquilizer during early pregnancy gave birth to deformed children. At least three separate reservations were made in the 30-year-old mother’s name since Wednesday when she disclosed doctors had warned she would have to have the operation immediately to avoid the hazardous Caesarean section. One of the flights from here to New York and on to Europe was canceled Thursday, but Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) said she was booked out of Los Angeles on the transpolar flight today. Mrs. Finkbine was expected to go to Sweden where it was learned seven expectant mothers had terminated their pregnancies because they had taken thalidomide. Few of the legal complications which forced the Finkbines to seek help outside the country ■ were expected in the Scandinavian country. A judge in Arizona dismissed the couple’s case in which they attempted to get legal sanction for the operation. State laws allow an abortion only if the life of the mother is in danger.
