(Mercury staff photo) Police baffled in SLA search LOS ANGELES (AP)-Authorities appeared no closer Saturday to finding Patricia Hearst and her Symbionese Liberation Army associates. despite receiving a tape from the trio of fugitives. FBI and Los Angeles police continued an analysis of the tape, but said it told them nothing about the location of Miss Hearst and William and Emily Harris, the last three SLA members being sought or about the identity of persons claiming affiliation with the revolutionary group. "We don't have any indication whether they left Los Angeles and we'd sure like to know.

We have no idea where they are," said John Morrison, spokesman for the FBI in Los Angeles. "We believe that they may be in the Los Angeles area because they were last seen here, but other than that we don't know where they are," echoed police spokesman Harreld Webster. The tape was received Friday at KPFK, a local radio station. It contained messages from "Tania," "Tico" and "Yolanda," believed to be Miss Hearst and the Harrises. Miss Hearst's father, San Francisco Examiner president and editor Randolph Hearst, confirmed the voice of "Tania" was his daughter's.

Miss Hearst said she was in love with "Cujo," identified as slain SLA member William Wolfe. She also denied that she had been brainwashed into joining the SLA, which says it kidnaped her Feb. 4, and vowed to fight on with the group. "Tico" opened the tape with greetings to the Team" and to "Field Marshal Cabrilla and the United Peoples Liberation Army." The Team" had claimed credit for shooting down a Los Angeles police helicopter in which a high ranking officer was killed and two others were injured. The FBI and police have branded the message a hoax.

"Cabrilla" was first heard May 25 when she said in a trope delivered to KPFK's sister station in Berkeley that the United Peoples Liberation Army was born after a May 17 shootout in Los Angeles in which six SLA members were killed. Morrison also said he didn't knoa when the U.S. attorney's office in Los Angeles would move on the FBI's request to subpoena the original tape from the radio station. KPFK gave the FBI a copy of the tape but refused to hand over the original. The station said it felt it might become viewed as an arm of the law enforcement and lose its validity as a news facility.

The station increased its security force Saturday after receiving telephoned threats. A spokesman said the station would have two or three extra security personnel on duty through the weekend to check all incoming visitors and packages. "To my knowlede there have been no bomb threats, but there have been calls where people said 'We're going to get you," said Ruth Hirschman, program director of the station. "The calls come from both sides of the political roster," she said. "Whenever you broadcast material that is highly offensive politically or culturally you're likely to receive a response like that." Ballet star, wife to leave Russia MOSCOW (AP)-A "very excited, very emotional" Valery Panov said Saturday that he and his pregnant wife Galina have been given official permission to leave Russia for Israel after a 26-month struggle.

"Pialigrimas read me a statement which said my wife and I had been given permission for exit to Israel," Panov said in a telephone call from his brother's house in Vilnius, Lithuania.

"I told him I was very pleased, but it's all very hard to believe." Advance word that the authorities had changed their minds was carried by Panov's brother Alfred.
