The crash site was about 50 miles north of the normal flight route between Tokyo and Osaka. There was no immediate explanation why it apparently was off course. NEITHER A Japan Air Lines spokesman in New York nor the Boeing Commercial Airplane Co. in Seattle was able to suggest a possible cause of the accident.

Officials of both companies and of the FAA were particularly puzzled by the pilot's radio report just before the crash that a THE JETLINER crashed on a do-' mestic flight from Tokyo to Osaka. The pilot, Masami Takahama, 49, had reported a door was broken, that he was fighting for control and would try an emergency landing.

GREGORY NOKES The Associated Press WASHINGTON The Reagan administration, aware that its policy of "constructive engagement" is in trouble, Is quietly exploring new approaches to dealing with the turmoil in South Africa, spurred by congressional demands for economic sanctions. There already has been a sharp increase in the4 administration's public criticism of South Africa's white supremacist policies. One feature of constructive engagement had been to push for change quietly and behind the scenes. The White House has called for an end to the current state of emergency, blaming the recent violence on the Pretoria government's apartheid practices.

On Monday it called for a black-white dialogue leading to "political rights, Justice and equality" for South Africa's black majority. The administration Issued a statement asking the government of South Africa to make "bold decisions" to end racial violence. The statement was issued by the White House and the State Department as thousands of demonstrators marched to the State Department, demanding an end to apartheid. They also demanded changes in U.S. policy, including imposition of economic sanctions on South Africa.

IT WAS always Implicit in the -administration's policy that it was aimed at fostering conditions leading to political rights for South Africa's 22 million disenfranchised blacks. But the latest statement was explicit and came against the background of increasing criticism of U.S. policy among South African blacks over the weekend. Asked whether the statement meant backing for majority rule, spokesman Larry Speakes said in Santa Barbara, "I think if you see political rights, justice and equality, then you will see the will of the people be exercised." The administration has hesitated to publicly demand political rights for blacks because it hasn't wanted to define what that meant. If political rights mean giving all blacks the right to vote the logical interpretation-it would almost certainly lead to the ouster of the white government by the black majority, who are 72 of the population.

Senior officials have publicly acknowledged they are conducting a review of the situation in South Africa, while Insisting It does not signal a change In policy. But the betting is that it will. At his news conference last week, Mr. Reagan referred to his South African policy as "so-called constructive engagement," indicating even a change in name is possible. No President wants to acknowledge a policy failure or change.

President Jimmy Carter was subjected to widespread criticism, even ridicule, after acknowledging he was wrong about Soviet communism after Moscow Intervened In Afghanistan In 1979.

Four companies have been asked to provide officials with estimates for a 220-bed minimum security Jail at the site of the former Electric Building. County commissioners last week ordered the building demolished and the lot they bought In March paved for parking.

There are not enough beds at the soon-to-open Justice complex and a lease with Cincinnati to use the Civil War-era Community Correctional Institution for minimum security prisoners expires in two years. Plans for the Justice complex initially included space for minimum security inmates but were scaled back, ieaving the gap now filled by CCI. "WE HOPE cost estimates will be in by early September for a facility to house minimum security prisoners, probation offices and psychiatric services," said County Administrator Michael Maloney. "If the cost is out of all reason we would start taking elements off the building." The Eggleston Avenue site is considered a prime location for the Jail because of its proximity to the new justice complex and municipal and common pleas courts, Maloney said. The firms are the Cleveland-based Volnovich Lorenz-Wil-liams, Burgess Niple Ltd.

and a joint venture involving Glaser Meyers Inc. and Champlin-Haupt Inc. Authorities do not know how much the facility will cost. However, a Lucas County official from Toledo said Hamilton County can expect to spend about $15,000 to $25,000 per bed for the proposed Jail-an estimated $3.3 million to $5.5 million price tag.

Death Toll Climbs; Students Whipped BY JAMES F. SMITH The Associated Press JOHANNESBURG, South Africa-Police armed with rubber whips went from house to house in Kwa-Thema township Monday, forcing black students to go to class.

A black consumer boycott spread through the nation's industrial heartland. Police and other sources reported 11 more black deaths. That brings the unofficial toll in a year of riots to 600 dead, surpassing the violence that began in Soweto in 1976 as South Africa's bloodiest black uprising against white rule. Police and soldiers surrounded Kwa-Thema township, east of Johannesburg, on Monday morning and went from house to house forcing students to go to schools they had been boycotting, witnesses said. start of a three-day boycott.

White students In Cape Town also have boycotted classes in solidarity with blacks.

(Please see TOLL, back page, this section) STUDENTS SAID those who refused were beaten with rubber whips. Once at school, the pupils refused to enter classes and police used tear gas to disperse at least one group of loitering youths.

Young blacks have boycotted classes for months in riot-affected areas.

Dyer another Convention Center contractor. On July 30, the city allowed Berry to go back to work until the company completes an administrative appeal of the minority-front charge at city hall. Soon after the Sheet Metal Workers protested Berry's hiring of non-union workers, they were joined by about 200 electricians, pipe fitters, plumbers, roofers, elevator mechanics and insulators, who would not cross picket lines.

That figure, based on estimates from the project manager and the -Greater Cincinnati Convention Jand Visitors Bureau, may form the basis of multimillion-dollar lawsuits the city wants to file. Deputy City Manager Michael A.

THAT UNION has been on- THOSE RESULTS showed that three out of four-75 of the women between the ages of 18 and 22 were virgins.

By 1978, the percentage of female virgins fell to 38 -nearly equal to that of men in the survey. But in 1984, the percentage of female virgins rose again to 43 -while the percentage of male virgins continued to fall to 28. "The percentage of change was much greater among women than men because, frankly, I think the whole sexual revolution was really a female revolution," Sherwln said. "Women in the old days conformed to the tyranny of virginity. The local group norm said everybody should be one.

Then after 1963, there was a tyranny of promiscuity where, just as emphatically, the message to conform was there but It was reversed." He said he doesn't know why attitudes are changing. One factor may be fear of the epidemics of sexually transmitted diseases like herpes and chlamydia. In general, though, he said, "the group Is more silent" now, which allows the individual greater freedom to choose. (Please see SURVEY, back page, this section) BY ANNE BRATAAS The Cincinnati Enquirer Virginity appears to be back in vogue among women on campus. The conclusion of 21 years of study by a Miami University professor Is that more college-aged women are virgins today than in the 1970s.

"I think it's a fair assessment to say the sexual revolution has bottomed out," said Robert Sher-win, a professor of sociology at the Miami University in Oxford, who, with colleague, Sherry Corbett, Interviewed 3,200 college students since 1963. Their report appears in the September issue of Glamour magazine. "There Is no longer the tyranny of promiscuity there was in the '70s. As a result, the Individual Is left to make a choice about whether to be a virgin, and that means there are more content people because they are making choices for themselves, not following the pressure of the group," he said. Sherwln first interviewed 200 Miami men and women in 1963 about sex "because it was the '60s.

Things were beginning to change rapidly and it was a topic that was on everybody's mind."
