Detective Sgt. Sherman Nickens said the woman could iave been Miss Hearst. Heavily armed officers surrounded the house in a predominantly black area arid ordered its occupants outside. Two black men and two black women emerged.

The occupants had conflicting reports on when the white woman left. They said she had a baby with her and left in a car with Florida tags with a black man. One witness said she was in the house as late as last Saturday. Nickens said a picture found in the house had a resemblance to Miss Hearst.

He said officers had been on the case since receiving a tip Tuesday from a grocery delivery boy. who said a white woman staying in the house looked like pictures he had seen in the newspaper of Miss Hearst.

Hemperly said the fire was primarily confined to leaves and underbrush, but did spread to firewood stacked against the side of an aluminum-covered building. Although the fire scorched the paint off an area six by two feet, Hemperly said damage to the building was "negligible." Inside the building was a house trailer, golf carts and lawn equipment. Apparently Moyer pulled the stacked fire wood away from the structure, saving further damage.

CLARK Member American Gem Society 636 Cumberland Street Next To Royer's Cake Box Phone 272-8851 BUENOS AIRES (UPI) An army officer kidnaped by leftist guerrillas 10 months ago was shot to death Tuesday night when police closed in on a "people's jail" located in the back of a speeding van.

Police sources said the driver of the truck shot Lt. Col. Jorge Ibarzabal in the face as patrol cars chased the van through the streets of suburban Quilmes. The sources said a policeman was wounded before authorities finally cut off the guerrilla van and captured the driver. A second truck carrying up to six guerrillas managed to get away.

The sources said provincial police spotted a caravan of two trucks traveling through Quilmes Tuesday night and tried to question the drivers. The occupants opened fire and sped off with patrol cars in pursuit. The sources said officers heard shots as police cut off one of the trucks. Inside, Ibarzabal lay dead in the back with bullet holes in his face. Police sources said he was in a "people's jail" cell in the back of the truck.

The cell was covered with a windowless canvas tent to prevent him from finding out where he was. Ibarzabal's death came five days after his wife took out an advertisement in a Buenos Aires newspaper telling him, "I you to be strong, as you have been up to now. because it adds to our strength." The People's Revolutionary Army captured Ibarzabal Jan. 19 at a tank garrison base located 180 miles south of Buenos Aires. The post commander and his wife died in the attack.

The Marxist guerrilla group, known by the Spanish acronym ERP. also holds an army officer captured during a raid on an ammunition depot and the operator of an Argentine steel mill.
