But within hours of her release from the hotel, Mandela returned to Soweto to the home where she lived with her husband before he was jailed for life for treason and sabotage in 1964. Police arrested her late Sunday. Nelson Mandela is a founder of the outlawed African National Congress, which advocates the violent overthrow of white rule in South Africa. Mrs.

Mandela, known affectionately among blacks as the mother of the nation, was exiled in 1977 to Brandfort, a farming town 200 miles southwest of Johannesburg. She returned to Soweto in October. In November, security police ordered her to return to Brandfort, but she ignored the demand, and further violated the conditions of her banning order by attending and addressing funeral services for riot victims and executed black guerrilla fighter and poet, Benjamin Moloise. Before her arrest, she told journalists she expected to be detained but said, I will not be dictated to by the occupiers of this country. In other developments, police in Pretoria said a car was firebombed in Soweto.

In Molteno in the northern Cape Province, shots were fired at police from a crowd of blacks throwing stones. Police returned fire with birdshot and tear gas, a spokesman said. No injuries were reported. More than 1,000 people have died in protests linked to apartheid since September 1984. JOHANNESBURG, South Africa Police held the wife of imprisoned black nationalist leader Nelson Mandela in jail today for returning to her home in the black township of Soweto in violation of a government ban.

Winnie Mandela, a prominent opponent of the white minority governments policies of racial separation known as apartheid, spent the night in the Krugersdorp police jail, about 20 miles west of Johannesburg. Police Capt. Henry Beck said she was arrested Sunday under provisions of the Internal Security Act for returning to Soweto, where she has lived since October in defiance of the government ban. Beck said Mandela will appear in court as soon as charges have been formulated against her. Her lawyer, Akbar Ayob, said he hoped she would be charged today and he would apply for her release on bail.

Authorities Saturday eased an order exiling her to a farming community southwest of Johannesburg and ruled that she may live and visit anywhere in South Africa except Johannesburg and Soweto. Under the new restrictions, she was allowed to go to social functions but was still prohibited from at- tending political events. She also was no longer required to report once a week to a police station. Mandela rejected the offer and police took her to a hotel at Jan Smuts airport outside Johannesburg, warning she was an illegal resident of Soweto and would be FERRARA, Italy A passenger train collided with a stationery killed and five others injured in the incident. Two people were still freight train that was waiting at a signal on Sunday.

Five persons were reported missing. The accident occured five miles from Ferrara. Autopsy to be performed on bear that died of cocaine overdose Thornton, a former Lexington, narcotics officer, had 75 pounds of cocaine strapped to his waist Sept. 11 when he fell to his death when his parachute failed to open completely. Authorities believe Thornton had flown the twin-engine plane from South America before bailing out.

The plane was apparently on autopilot and crashed in the North Carolina mountains. Five days after Thorntons fatal plunge, three duffel bags filled with more than 200 pounds of cocaine and bearing the same markings as a bag found on Thorntons body were discovered on a northern Georgia mountain. Wiley said a hunter found the duffel bag and packages in the national forest last week and notified a game warden, who called Fannin County Sheriff Walter Porter. A medical examiner was scheduled to perform an autopsy on the bear today to confirm it died from an overdose of cocaine. Wiley estimated the 40 plastic containers once held 75 pounds of cocaine worth $15 million.

The only thing that was left were the packages themselves, she said. No cocaine was recovered. Were not saying theres any foul play in that regard. Were looking at over two months since it was dropped there. Its had time to dissolve and there was snow on the mountain when we found it.

The bear obviously didnt eat 75 pounds of cocaine. GBI agent Gary Garner said the duffel bag was probably dropped in September from a plane piloted by Thornton, a convicted drug smuggler and former Army paratrooper who parachuted to his death in Knoxville, Tenn. United Press International BLUE RIDGE, Ga. An autopsy was scheduled on a black bear that found and ate part of a duffel bag of cocaine dropped in north Georgias mountains last September by parachuting drug smuggler Andrew Thornton. The dead bear was found in the Chattahoochee National Forest last Friday near a torn duffel bag and 40 plastic bags with traces of cocaine that had been ripped open, Georgia Bureau of Investigation officials said Sunday.

It appears the bear had gotten into the duffel bag because it was stripped, said Fran Wiley of the GBIs drug enforcement office in Gainesville. It wouldnt take very much to kill him. He could have eaten a half pound and that would have killed him.

shakeup. The decision on whether to accredit NAMFREL as the official civilian arm of the Elections Commission nationally is regarded as one of the most significant preelection decisions the agency will make. The Reagan administration, warning a fraudulent poll is worse than none at all, has urged Marcos to accredit NAMFREL for the Feb. 7 battle against Aquinos widow, Co-razon. Marcos has hinted the group may be backed by the CIA.

Organized in 1983, NAMFREL claims it will have 500,000 volunteers to field at the 90,000 polling centers for the election, double the number they fielded in May 1984, when the opposition made unprecedented parliamentary gains. NAMFREL Chairman Jose Concepcion denied to the commission that the group or any of its more than 70 support organizations had ever been funded by any foreign government, corporation or entity, including multinationals. He also denied volunteers had displayed bias MANILA, Philippines Leaders of a respected poll-watching group today denied receiving foreign funds and appealed to the Commission on Elections for permission to monitor Februarys presidential election and count the votes. In a two-hour hearing, commissioners questioned the finances of the National Citizens Movement for Free Elections, NAMFREL, and said they had received reports its volunteers had favored opposition candidates in May 1984 parliamentary elections. The hearing was adjourned until Tuesday.

President Ferdinand Marcos, facing the toughest electoral challenge of his 20 years in power, today summoned generals led by armed forces chief Gen. Fabian Ver to the presidential palace for what was palled a meeting on a major military reorganization. Ver, 65, was cleared Dec. 2 as an accessory to the Aug. 21, 1983, murder of opposition leader Be-nigno Aquino and reinstated despite U.S.

opposition. Marcos has suggested Ver may be retired in the Sunday, Dec. 22 Fugitives kidnap "good Samaritan" -who is later released unharmed and steal his car in Mobile SOUTH CAROLINIA ance, I believe because the arrest was handled with a show of force. We were lucky in that respect and no one was injured. Sunday was the first confirmed sighting of the four since the daring escape from the Perry Correctional Institution that was similar to the Charles Bronson movie Breakout.

The escaped convicts were identified as Jesse Glenn Smith, who was serving 40 years for armed robbery, James Rodney Leonard, serving life term for murder, and William Douglas Ballew, serving 23 years for armed robery. All are from the Greenville, S.C. area. An FBI spokesman in Mobile said the fugitives car apparently broke down on Interstate 10 near Mobile and they flagged this guy down sometime after midnight. As best we can tell, he was trying to help them a good Samaritan.

They took him with them to a local motel where they were staying and they loaded their stuff into his car. They dropped him off in the city and he contacted the police immediately, the agent said. Before the fugitives fled about 2.30 a.m. in the good Samaritans car, a 1977 Pontiac, the FBI spokesman said they showed him newspaper clippings about their escape and vowed they would never be captured alive. He was not able to see which way they left after they dropped him off and we have no reason to believe they are still in the Mobile area, the agent said.

We still consider them armed and extremely dangerous. Authorities declined to identify the good Samaritan. WOODBINE, Ga. Authorities captured three extremely dangerous convicts and a woman who airlifted them out of a South Carolina prison early today at a highway welcome station without firing a shot. The fugitives, who had vowed earlier that they would not be taken alive, surrendered peacefully when law officers surprised them sleeping in a stolen car at the welcome station on the Georgia-Florida border.

Camden County Sheriff Bill Smith said the four were lodged in the county jail to await the arrival of FBI agents who were expected to take the fugitives to Savannah for a prelimiary hearing before a U.S. magistrate. He said the four will be charged with air piracy and kidnapping, in addition to escape charges. The escaped convicts were identified as Jesse Glenn Smith, serving 40 years for armed robbery, James Rodney Leonard, serving life term for murder, and William Douglas Ballew, 23 years for armed robery. All are from the Greenville, S.C.

area. The woman, Joyce L. Bailey, 40, reportedly is the girlfriend of Smith, the romance blooming after Leonard entered prison. They were dressed in casual clothes, dressed warm, said Smith. They had not shaved.

There were guns in the car, but I have no idea how many or what kind. Along with the guns, officers also found some marijuana in the car, he said. Smith said there was no resist Merry Christmas, and pay up dividuals will be named in newspaper ads Sunday in Austin, Corpus Christi, Forth Worth, Houston and San Antonio.
