Mohrmann said.

Charged were Chicagoans Walter Jones 20, and Walter Fields, 17, said Detective Robert Kleinschmidt. A third suspect a 14-year-old youth was named Saturday in a juvenile petition for murder in connection with the slaying of Thomas O'Leary, who was shot twice in the chest Friday evening.

The shooting touched off a wave of gunfire in which three reputed gang members were wounded, police said, and it prompted West Side Alderman Wallace Davis to urge residents of a nearby housing project to stop a "gang war in the making." A bond hearing was set today for for Jones and Fields, who were in custody Sunday night, Kleinschmidt said. The 14-year old suspect was being held in a juvenile detention center pending an appearance today in Juvenile Court, authorities said. O'Leary was the fifth young person. killed this year as a result of gang warfare within a three-block area of the housing project. Agency grounded; mission flies on WASHINGTON (AP) The Civil Aeronautics Board closes forever today, but its watchdog duties on behalf of the airline traveler are moving across town to the Transportation Department where officials promise travelers still will be protected.

A new consumer affairs office will assume the CAB's consumer protection duties beginning with the new year, handling air traveler complaints ranging from disagreements over being bumped from a flight to assuring that federal smoking rules are followed. "I would hope to say that the consumer stands in a better position because we intend to do a more efficient job," said Robert Baker, who was appointed to head the new office. Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole said the office "will serve one purpose to provide a prompt and thorough response to the consumer concerns of the air traveler." Ironically, Mrs. Dole last summer worked hard to keep the consumer protection activities out of her department, suggesting that they would be better placed at the Federal Trade Commission, an agency that didn't want them either. Congress disagreed, however, and ordered all consumer protection regulations shifted from the CAB to Mrs.

Dole's department, along with a variety of other continuing CAB duties. There had been concern on Capitol Hill and among consumer groups that certain regulations might disappear along with the CAB at the end of 1984 regulations covering such issues as smoking aboard aircraft, compensation for lost baggage or being bumped from a flight, and protection from unscrupulous charter operators. But after Congress assured that those regulations would continue, the concerns disappeared. Sunny, gray or white, inauguration on goes on WASHINGTON (AP) If the weather is normal, President Reagan can expect a pleasant day when he is sworn in on Jan. 21, although past inaugural weather has spawned everything from snowstorms to rain and even claimed a presidential life.

The National Weather Service says that, on average, Washington can expect a normal Jan. 21 to have an afternoon temperature of about 38 degrees with sunshine and a light breeze. The chances of rain are one in four, of snow one in 13. But that's just an average, and particular days can vary sharply, as illustrated by the near blizzard that greeted President Kennedy in 1961. Inauguration-day weather had its greatest impact in 1841 when William Henry Harrison, a hero from the War of 1812, was sworn in as president.

Inaugurations were held on March 4 in that era, and Harrison's ceremonies were greeted by mostly clear skies with a light wind. The temperature climbed to 54 degrees in the afternoon and Harrison chose to ride in his parade without an overcoat and later spent several hours outside the White House greeting people as temperatures cooled. He caught a cold that afternoon, but persisted in ignoring the cold weather in following days, and his chill finally developed into pneumonia. Harrison died a month later, being succeeded by John Tyler. Historian David M.

Ludlum, in his book "The Weather Factor," reports a second change i in presidents that apparently stemmed from the weather also. In 1849 President Zachary Taylor suffered heat exhaustion during the July 4 dedication ceremonies for the Washington Monument. Taylor died within a week, and Millard Fillmore was sworn in as his successor July 10, 1841 the hottest presidential inauguration at 92 degrees. There are several contenders for coldest inauguration, although the lack of good instruments early in the nation's history complicates the comparisons. Ulysses S.

Grant most likely holds the record with a reading of 16 degrees at noon on March 4, 1873, and a bitter wind sweeping out of the north. That reading was up from an early morning low of 4 degrees the coldest temperature ever officially recorded on any inauguration day, and still a March record for Washington. Grover Cleveland was also greeted with atrocious weather at his second inauguration, on March 4, 1893, when he faced heavy, wet snow; winds and readings of 25 degrees. It was only 22 degrees at noon on Jan. 20, 1961, and the streets of Washington were buried under seven inches of snow for the Kennedy inaugural.

But the skies cleared in the afternoon. Sub-freezing weather also greeted the inauguration of James Monroe on March 5, 1821, and Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1937.
