Family Held As Hostages In Farm Home WADENA, Minn. (AP) Two armed fugitives, demanding an airplane for a flight to freedom, held a family of six hostage today in a farmhouse, authorities said.

Wegscheid is a livestock farmer one mile west of Wadena in northern Minnesota. He also does plumbing and heating work. Authorities identified the escapees as John P. Morgan, 37, Glenwood, who was awaiting trial on first-degree murder charges, and William L. Winans, 18, Fergus jailed on a burglary conviction.

They escaped Monday from the Wadena County jail. Platter said the armed men asked that a Cessna 182 be at the Wadena Airport at sunrise. He said the men also asked for two parachutes, first-aid equipment, two sleeping bags, a pup tent and some benzedrine and dexedrine. He said the demands would be met. Platter said he would accompany the escapees to the airport as a hostage and would board the plane, to be piloted by a Cass County deputy sheriff.

WASHINGTON (AP) other sharp decline in the cost of farm products pushed. wholesale prices down for the second straight month in October, the government said today in a report promising consumers some relief from high grocery bills. But, despite the decline, the Labor, Department's Wholesale Price Index report disclosed a still highly inflationary economy.

Wholesale prices of industrial commodities, mainly higher prices for fuels, went up a sharp 1.1 per cent on a seasonally adjusted basis. Wholesale prices declined three-tenths of one per cent after seasonal adjustment in October, with a 3.3 per cent fall-off recorded i in prices of farm products and processed foods and feeds. Before any adjustment in the figures, the government said there was a five-tenths of one per cent decline in over-all wholesale prices and a 3.9 per cent drop in prices of arm products and processed foods and feeds. It was the first time since late 1971 that whole prices have gone down two months in a row. In September, they fell a sharp 1.5 per cent.

And the report showed that wholesale prices have gone up 18.3 per cent at an annual rate in the past three months. Wholesale prices of farm products and processed foods and feeds have risen at an annual rate of 43.5 per cent in the same span. Not all of the declines will be felt at the retail level, but government economists feel the sharp increases should in some lowering of retail food products. The department said the drop in prices of farm products occurred mainly in' livestock and oil seeds, live poultry, eggs, grains, and fresh fruit. But wholesale prices of consumer finished foods rose nine-tenths of one per cent in October, with increases recorded for fresh and dried.

vegetables, eggs, milk, cereal: and bakery products. These are prices for goods that are, ready for the consumer. Higher prices for fuels accounted for more than a third of the increases in wholesale prices of industrial com-. modities.

Watergate (Continued from Page 1) White House personnel, have testified voluntarily without subpoena. "The real purpose of this hearing is to indicate the chain of possession of these tapes had possession, who had access," Sirica said. The White House claim that subpoenaed tapes of presidential conversations of June 20, 1972 and April 15, 1973 never existed was made Oct. 29 as lawyers for the special prosecutor's office and the President met with Sirica to work out details for turning over nine tapes. Another such meeting was held Tuesday and afterward Sirica said security arrangements had been completed and that he had received lists of experts who could help determine whether the tapes had not been tampered with.

The judge said he hoped to get the tapes soon, perhaps within a month. But the lengthy process of review makes it unlikely the tapes will go to a Watergate grand jury before the first of the year, he indicated. Presidential aide Stephen V. Bull testified Tuesday that Miss Woods reviewed some of the tapes he delivered to her, typing at the same time. But he refused to say she was making a transcript and testified he didn't ask her about it "because it was not my business." Bennett, who was placed i in charge of the tapes and their security after the automatic recording system was dismantled July 18, said he turned over six more tapes to Miss Woods Monday making a total, he said, of 14.

Bull said Miss Woods began listening to the tapes and typing Sept. 29 at Camp David, continued the next week in Washington and through the following weekend at Key Biscayne, Fla. The 31-year-old aide said that he was searching through the tapes Sept. 29 at the request of the President and was unable to find two of the nine tapes sought in the prosecution subpoena. The June 20 conversation between Nixon and Mitchell was on a unbugged telephone in the White House residence, witnesses: said.

The April 15 conversation between Nixon and Dean went unrecorded because the tape ran out, they testified. ELLENSBURG, Wash. (AP) Sen. Barry Goldwater says if President Nixon must choose between impeachment proceedings and resignation, he should resign. "If it ever gets to that point, I think the President would be the very first person to wake up some day and decide, "This has gone far the Arizona Republican told newsmen while at Central Washington State College for a speech on Tuesday.

But Goldwater said he did not foresee much likelihood of that dilemma. Heloise In Today Heloise is back today, visiting with Ledger Society Editor on Page 16.
