AIR WORLD, officials had insisted since the accident that there were 208 passengers and crew aboard and that all were accounted for. But on Tuesday, Edward Ringo, senior vice president of the air carrier, said Walter Metcalf, 69, and his son Leo, 40, both of Dedham, Mass. were missing. , Federal officials sealed off the area around the wreck of the DC-10 yester- day as divers searched the ice-dotted waters of Boston Harbor for the Met- calfs. Ringo and officials with the Massachusetts Port Authority, which operates the airport, said they discovered carry-on luggage belonging to the elder Metcalf after relatives ap- proached state police Tuesday. FAMILY MEMBERS, who tried for two days to learn their relatives' whereabouts, complained that World Airways would not give them infor- mation, nor would port officials help. Welsh, 25, a student at Tufts Univer- sity dental school in Boston, said he was seated in the front section of the plane when it rolled off the runway at Logan Internatinal Airport upon landing and went into the frigid water. The cockpit section of the plane sheared off, flooding his cabin with sea water. Welsh said he and several other passengers helped rescue the flight crew from the water. HE SAID HE recalled seeing the Metcalfs sititng in front row seats, which disappeared in the accident. "After we took those four people out of the water, one guy said,'Look over there!' I saw somebody floundering about 25 feet off to the left of the plane. We tore off some cushions and threw them to him, but soon after the person disappeared under the water." Welsh said he told a firefighter and a police officer what he witnessed but said, "theywere all runningaround pretty frantic" rescuing passengers.

However, the stock chemicals repor- tedly in at least some schools include benzene, benzidene, and formaldehyde - suspected causes of cancer which the commission already has acted against when they are used in consumer . products..

The staff also said that chemical storage and disposal practices appear to vary widely. Approximately half of the respondents indicated that laboratories are not equipped with eyewashes, fire extinguishers, and fire blankets. Fifteen of the 22 respondents indicated that a wall chart and safety manual "would be useful." The CPSC staff was concerned maidly about chronic health hazards but it also found reports of 61 injuries linked to school labs over a three-year period. Chemical burns accounted for 39 of these and there were 12 cases of dermatitis, a skin condition, and one death due to carbon monoxide.

An Equal Opportunity Employer IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Auto talks hit-citical stage DETROIT-Contract talks between the United Auto Workers and General Motors reached the critical stage yesterday amid reports the union wants to reopen negotiations whenever car sales improve dramatically. Bargaining entered the final stages with less than 48 hours remaining before the union's deadline at midnight tonight. Talks were expected late in- to the evening and possibly all night following a late night session-Tuesday. "We're prepared to stay all night or as long as necessary," said a GM spokesman. The UAW wants the new contract to contain a clause calling for renewed negotiations should car sales im rove dramatically. No sales boom is expec- te for at least the next six montIs, but union officials reasoned the so-called "reopener" clause would reassure their members. State moves to close chemical disposal plant LANSING- The head of the state's air pollution control office said yester- day he will recommend permanent closure of a Shelby Township chemical incinerator where two men died in a toxic chemical accident earlier this month. Robert Miller of the Department of Naturpl Resources said he will advise the state Air Pollution Control commission next month to deny a permanent operating permit to Liquid Disposal Inc. and to take steps to revoke its tem- porary licenses. Two workers died and nine other people were injured Jan. 13 when chemical residue in equipment reacted with a new shipment of waste to form a toxic gas. Study finds Laetrile useless BOSTON- The first study of Laetrile by recognized cancer scientists has shown the controversial extract of apricot pits is useless for treatment of. cancer, researchers said yesterday. A research team headed by the Mayo Clinic reported only one out of 175 in- curable patients given Laetrile and placed on the diet commonly prescribed with the drug began to show progress, but he later worsened and died. Most of the others died in an average of five months, said Dr. Charles Moertel, who headed the study. The surviving 25 are close-to death. Loneliness linked to;illness SEABROOK ISLAND, S.C- People with few friends and limited social contacts may be more. vulnerable to'heart disease and other illnesses, a California scientist said yesterday. Dr. S. Leonard Syme of the University of California said in a report presented to an American Heart Association meeting that four major studies now support the theory that social isolation has a role in disease. "My hypothesis is that this social support business somehow affects the body's vulnerability, affects the defense system as to whether or not you become vulnerable to the effect of these heart disease risk factors," Syme said. Syme emphasized, however, that more research is needed before social isolation can be added to the commonly accepted list of factors that.increase a person's risk of developing heart disease. Guerrillas attack air base SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador-- Guerrillas attacked El Salvador's biggest air force base yesterday damaging four U.S.-made helicopters and six warplanes with a barrage of armor-piercing rockets and machine-gun fire, witnesses said. "Doors were torn away, landing gear was damaged. I would not say they were destroyed, but it'll be some time before they fly again," said an American of the Ilopango Air Force base. The American, who asked to remain anonymous, said he saw four U.S.- supplied "Huey" helicopters and sixi -nidentified jets damaged on the apron of the airport on the eastern edge of the capital, San Salvador. A U.S. Embassy spokesmen said none of the U.S. military advisers teaching the Salvadoran air force how to fly and repair the Hueys was at the base at the time of the two-hour pre-dawn attack. 4 0 s .5 .. ,,r 0 Subscriptions 764-0558 * Classifieds 764-0557 S '-I .~ g: 1 'I 4 1" 4A4 ~1 a. a' A, Ft, y_ M f9 1 d: d, -w W4 .4 Y I' I' .w E- Systems continues the tradition of the world's great problem solvers.
