Dr. Martin Orne, a University of Pennsylvania expert in detecting fabricated stories, said Thursday "it would Uke a polygraph examination" to uncover falsehoods Miss Hearst may want kept hidden within herself. Orne was the second of three psychiatrists called by attorney F. Lee Bailey, who managed to get a polygraph on the record despite vigorous protests by the The i Dr.

Robert J. Lifton of Yale University, was scheduled to resume his testimony under questioning by Bailey today.

The government contends Miss Hearst was a willing participant in a San Francisco bank robbery two months after her kidnaping by the Symbionese Liberation Army. The defense has sought to show she took part in the robbery only because she feared for her life at the hands of the terrorist group.
