(AP) Data may boost AIDS drug effect fIT'ASHINGTON -VV Researchers from the company that makes the anti-AIDS drug AZT said yesterday that they had determined the genetic basis for resistance to the drug in some strains of the AIDS virus. The findings should lead to the development of tests able to rapidly predict which strains of the virus are resistant to the drug's effects, said the researchers, who work for London-based Wellcome PLC. Though AZT is not a cure for AIDS, it prevents the virus from multiplying, slowing the progress of the disease.

Robert Evans told KING-TV that records removed from William Jay Stevens 2d's home and other information gathered by detectives eliminated Stevens as a suspect. Stevens, 39, is in jail awaiting trial on federal firearms charges involving guns found in a search of his and his parents' homes in Spokane by the Green River Task Force and Spokane police.

Stevens, who was arrested in January, was investigated in connection with the deaths and disappearances of 49 women, most of them prostitutes, who vanished from 1982 to 1984, mostly in the Seattle area. (AP) Woman denies D.C. mayor story WASHINGTON -A drug specialist flatly denied yesterday a report that she had told police Washington Mayor Marion Barry was treated for drug overdoses at her hospital six years ago. Dr. Alyce Gullattee, director of Howard University's Drug Abuse Clinic and Addiction Institute, issued the denial through her lawyer following a report by a television station.

WUSA-TV said it had obtained a confidential police investigative report containing an interview with Gullattee in which she told officers in 1984 that Barry was treated three times in 1983 for cocaine overdoses.
