Associated Press JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Bishop Desmond Tutu quieted tensions at a funeral for black riot victims Thursday, persuading police to withdraw and angry mourners to be calm. But the Nobel Peace Prize winner also pledged to defy funeral restric tions proclaimed by the white gov ernment. “I listen to God, not any other authority,” he said. “I will con tinue to speak at all meetings, re sponsibly, as a minister.” Witnesses said Tutu personally imposed calm on an explosive situa tion in Tumahole, a riot-torn black township near Parys, 62 miles south of Johannesburg. At his urging, po lice withdrew from the path of the funeral procession, and he told the 1,000 mourners: “For goodness sake, let us stop doing things we’re going to be ashamed of!” Police said Tutu’s remarks and the funeral did not violate the rules because Tumahole is not in an emer gency area. It was held in a commu nity hall. Under the new restrictions, de creed under the state of emergency put into force July 21 in 36 towns and cities, only ordained ministers may speak and they may not men tion politics. Tutu said later that he would speak next Tuesday at the funeral of riot victims in Daveyton, a township near Johannesburg that is in an emergency area.

But they warn against exces sive optimism. One American AIDS victim who has undergone 10 weeks’ treatment in Paris with HPA 23, Bob White, says it appears to have stabilized his case, though not those of some other Americans receiving the treatment. White, leading efforts to allow the Americans to continue HPA 23 treatment back home, said his im mune system remains “depleted” but “I have no longer any active AIDS virus, I have no current infection, I swim 1,000 yards a day and live in a fifth-floor walk-up.” He said, however, his treatment started within weeks of his AIDS di agnosis in February and “it only works on early-stage patients.” Among about 10 other Americans getting HPA 23, he said, “some are not quite as healthy and have had in fections.” Film star Hudson was treated for six weeks last year with HPA 23, his Paris spokeswoman Yannou Collart said Wednesday. But when he re turned here July 20 his condition was not considered suitable for fur ther treatment. He was flown back to Los Angeles on Monday. Dr. Yves Ghampey, vice president for medical and scientific devel opment at ^the government-owned chemical company Rhone-Poulenc Same, which makes HPA 23, said new trials will start in France “in the coming weeks” on up to 150 pa tients. “In seven to eight months we will have at least preliminary results and some hard facts to work on” about the effect of HPA 23 at various do sages and its side effects, he told The Associated Press on Wednesday. Patients will be chosen for the tests “as early as possible after diag nosis,” he said. He stressed that HPA 23 is still only a chemical compound and not a developed drug. In the United States, the compa ny’s American branch, Rhone-Pou lenc Pharmaceuticals, is expected to file for Food and Drug Administra tion permission for clinical trials “in three to four weeks, maximum,” Ghampey said. The FDA has said it could “turn around” the application within two weeks. SPACE CENTER, Houston — Challenger’s astronauts zapped a sa tellite with an electron beam gun Thursday to duplicate in miniature the powerful energy fields of stars. A 6‘/i-foot free-flying satellite called the Plasma Diagnostics Pack age was hit with a jolt from the gun aboard the space shuttle. The astro nauts said they could see flashes of light as the beam followed natural magnetic lines to the satellite. Scientists on the ground called the demonstration “a fabulous success.” The experiment duplicated on a small scale the bolts of electron en ergy that astronomers have dec- tected flashing in deep space be tween large stars many light years apart. It’s hoped that data gathered by the PDP will help explain the phe nomena. NASA engineers evaluated the amount of rocket propellant left on board Challenger and studied the possibility of raising the shuttle’s low orbit. Scientists hoped the orbit could be raised 8 to 10 miles to en hance data being gathered by a de vice studying the abundance of he lium in the sun. Challenger went into a lower- than-expected orbit when a rocket engine shut down during its launch Monday. The spacecraft is circling Earth at 195 miles, 46 miles lower than planned. This degrades some of the data being gathered by science ments ami even a small increast; altitude would be an improvemtt scientists said. A decision could) made as late as Friday. Scientists in a ground controls don at the Johnson Space Cein were described by mission scienu Eugene Urban as “overwhelmed"! the quality of data gathered by experiments in Challenger’s are bay.
