Police, B press Hearst search
LOS ANGELES ( )-Police and FBI agents pressed
their search yesterday for Patricia Hearst and two
SSymbioneseLiberation Army (SLA) members apparent-
ly now her comrades, but officials acknowledged a
growing feeling the fugitives may have fled the city.
In Hillsborough, Calif., Hearst's father said she may
have been brainwashed or the victim of mind control,
Both her parents begged their daughter, described by
r3 ; authorities as "armed and extremely dangerous," to
abandon the SLA and give herself up.
BUT RANDOLPH Hearst added: "At this point in
time I don't believe that she will give herself up to
come home."
Hearst, editor and president of the San Francisco
3 /Examiner, said he thinks his daughter "honestly be-
lieves now that she's a member of the group. This
sort of brainwashing is not an unheard of thing."
Many persons, including the Hearst family cook,
u ; claimed to have seen the newspaper heiress in loca-
tions from Los Angeles to San Francisco, and authori-
ties were receiving many crank calls.
"IF THEY'VE got any sense, they'd have left," said
Police Cmdr. Peter Hagan. "Things are getting hot
here."
"Your idea is as good as ours," FBI spokesman
John Morrison said when asked where the heiress
might be hiding. But he added that the focus of the
search was still in Los Angeles.
Police officers in Cailfornia have the descriptions
of Hearst, 20, and Emily and William Harris, both in
, m a their late 20s, Hagan said. Ie said more than 100
police officers and FBI agents were assigned to the
case.
HEARST, DRAGGED from her apartment Feb. 4 as
she screamed,. "Let me go!" now apparently "has
joined forces with the SLA," William Sullivan, in
charge of the Los Angeles FBI office, said Sunday
night.
An all-points bulletin was issued for the arrest of the
Harrises and the newspaper heiress, all of whom were
wanted for investigation for illegal use and possession
of automatic weapons.
