Two passengers missing after Boston Harbor crash
BOSTON- Two people were reported missing and may have drowned in Saturday evening's crash-banding of the World Airways DC-10 that hurtled off the end of a city runway and broke apart in Boston Harbor, officials said yesterday.
Authorities said there was no indication that anyone was missing from the jumbo jet until two relatives showed up at Massachusetts Port Authority offices yesterday.

"The son and daughter told Massport officials they had been trying for days to reach World Airways officials and they (World Airways) referred to Dedham police," Massport spokesman Pat Mascariolo said.
them to Deedam police, "massport spokesman deedam",
Port Authority officials said they immediately asked World Airways,
which had failed to provide them with a passenger list since the crash, to
recheck its records.
It was then that Walter Metcalf, 70, and his son, Leo, 40 both of Dedham, Mass., were unaccounted for. Macarti scored on a penalty kick from a Piedmontia Davenport Aviation flight.
"We just don't know where they are." World Airways Vice President Edward Ringo told a news conference at Logan International Airport. "It's
pretty obvious they are in the classroom."
Charles Arena, Chief of the Massport Safety office, said, "The divers are looking for any evidence we can find. Divers are in the water right now. They will continue to stay in there until we find them."
Motive suggested in Atlanta trial
ATLANTA—A 15-year-old youth testified yesterday that Wayne Williams made homosexual advances toward him. It was the first time the prosecution suggested a motive for the 28 black slayings that rocked Atlanta last year.
The youth, who was not identified by agreement of opposing attorneys, also testified that he saw Laker Gete, one of the victims, get into a car with
The defense denied that Williams, a 23-year-old photographer and would-be music talent scout, had any homosexual tendencies.
Williams is on trial for two of the slayings, but is also suspect in at least 10 other killings, including Geter's.
other killings, including over 80%
All but two of the victims were males.
The youth stuck to his testimony despite a blistering cross-examination by defense attorney AL Finder...
Another witness gave conflicting testimony, saying she saw Williams and Geter together at the same place but at a different time.
Poland hinders Haig-Gromvko talks
GENEVA-Secretary of State Alexander Haig met Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko for nearly eight hours yesterday but said the "long, dark shadow of Poland" blocked progress on nearly everything they discussed from arms control to Cuba.
The talks, characterized by Haig as "far rang" and "very sober," lasted nearly twice as long as expected and included a blunt exchange on Poland after Gromyko apparently went back to his threat to refuse to discuss the topic at all.
Hali later told a news conference that he and Gromyko had a "two-sided" discussion on Poland, apparently meaning that he dwell at length on the issue while Gromyko stuck to the Kremlin position that the imposition of martial law was a Polish domestic affair.
ABA knocks discriminatory clubs
CHICAGO—The American Bar Association yesterday was preparing to ask Congress to amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act in order to prevent race and sex discrimination at private clubs "that derive a substantial amount of income from business conducted there."
Delegates to the ABA's 1982 midyear meeting Monday voted to recommend the amendments, say such clubs—patronized by the nation's police and military—to be approved.
"People take clients for lunch, then get to the door with a female associate and she can't come in," the spokesman said.
The amendment would add to the list of "public accommodations" specified in the Civil Rights Act, "any private club or establishment which derives a substantial amount of their income from business conducted there."
The amendment also recommends establishment of an "adequate, subjective standard to measure income."
Powerful ideologist in USSR dies
MOSCOW-Mikhail Suslov, the Soviet Union's top ideologist and for 30 years one of the most active men in the Kremlin, has died at age 79. He was born in Kazakhstan and yesterday.
Suslov, whose brand of law-and-order communism was reflected in last month's crackdown in Poland, was the post-Stalinian era's chief defender of the faith and his death raised questions about the future course of Soviet leadership.
"Anybody who wants to replace Brehnev now has to rethink his options and his alliances," a diplomat said.
Suslov died Monday after suffering a heart attack.
His main task was to form the ideological justifications for Soviet policies. He was one of the great survivors of Soviet politics and one of its kingmakers. He helped orchestrate the fall of Nikita Khrushchev and the rise of Brezhnev.

Wichita officer 'forced' out of job
"The relations between the great powers will improve." Koivisto said after his expected victory.
Barry Shaw, 31, filed suit late Monday in U.S. District Court against Sedgwick County Sheriff John Darrn, the Sheriff's Department, the county and deputies Richard Gabberry and Gary Cline for allegedly creating an atmosphere in which a black could not work.
