More S. African riots follow news of deaths
United Press International
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Mixed-race riots hurled a hand grenade at police, threw firebombs at government buildings and stoned passing cars of whites near Cape Town yesterday in racial violence that engulfed South Africa.
The latest rioting came as police disclosed the deaths of four more blacks in white-ruled South Africa, where more than 770 people have been killed in racial unrest during the past 13 months.
The rioting stems from the government's policy of apartheid, which segregates and discriminates against the nation's black population. As the population of mixed-race people, officially called Coloreds.
In London, South African officials seeking the rescheduling of about $24 billion in foreign debt met the representatives of 30 banks yesterday. Swiss banking mediator Dr. Fritz Weller said.
Few details were available about the meeting but the talks were thought to center on how
South Africa could referey repayment on about $12.05 billion in short-term borrowings which mature in 1985.
South Africa froze repayments of interest on its debts Sept. 2, following the sudden crush of its currency, the rand, amid dwindling confidence among world financial institutions in the government's ability to contain widespread racial unrest.
Johannesburg police reports said the bodies of two black men were delivered to a mortuary yesterday. One died of shotgun wounds and the other was killed in a stabbing incident, unclear as to when the men died.
Police also disclosed for the first time that they shot and killed two black men in Cape Town on Oct. 16 and slightly wounded two children, ages 2 and 3, when they opened fire with rifles, throwing stones and firebombs.
Mixed-race youths threw a hand grenade at a police armored truck near the Crossroads squatter camp near Cape Town, but the grenade bounced off the truck before exploding and it caused little damage.
French send group to nuclear test

Test defies regional governments
PARIS — A French delegation headed by Prime Minister Laurent Fabius flew yesterday to the Mururoa atoll in the Pacific to witness an underground nuclear test in defiance of nearby governments and ecologists.
The Defense Ministry did not say when the test would take place but news reports said it could happen as early as today.
members of conservative opposition groups, is to witness "an upcoming underground military nuclear test at Mururoca," a Defense Ministry statement said.
The 12-member group, which included newly appointed Defense Minister Paul Quiles and five
France reportedly has been planning to test its neutron bomb this fall.
The inclusion in the delegation of such important officials as the prime minister and defense minister underlined the political significance Socialist President Francois Mitterrand's government placed on the test.
Announcement of the test came one week after the flagship of the
Greenpeace ecologist group left waters around Mururoa after developing engine trouble.
The vessel, named Greenspace, was a replacement for the Rainbow Warrior, sunk by French secret service agents July 10 in Auckland, New Zealand. The Rainbow Warrior was to have led a flotilla of boats to Muruora to protest French nuclear testing.
The incident brought to a boil opposition by south Pacific nations, particularly New Zealand and Australia, to the French nuclear tests.
Two French agents were arrested by New Zealand police two days after the Rainbow Warrior was bombed and are to face trial in November.
The subsequent controversy and attempt by the French secret service to cover up its activities in New Zealand led to the resignation of Defense Minister Charles Hernu and the firing of the head of the secret service, Admiral Pierre Lacoste.
Mitterrand made a visit to Mururoa on Sept. 13 where he pledged to continue the 19-year-old nuclear test program and to strengthen French influence in the south Pacific.

ones are being seen with increasing frequency," said the report, which did not give numbers of victims but said it was epidemic in some areas.
LONDON — An AIDS-related disease that causes victims to become emaciated and die has been discovered in rural Uganda and doctors say it is apparently spread by heterosexual promiscuity, a British medical journal reported this week.
The report, prepared by 12 African and British scientists, said most victims in a study group had traces of AIDS virus in their blood but the illness was a "new syndrome" not previously reported.
The authoritative Lancet journal said in its latest issue that the illness had been nicknamed by Ugandans as "slim disease" because its primary symptom was a swollen tongue, typical cases had led to death after a nearby
The report said the syndrome was known locally as slim disease because its main symptoms were weight loss and diarrhea.
"The first patients were seen in 1982 and new
The journal reported that in a "typical" case, the victim suffered weakness and fever for the first six months and then suffered diarrhea and gradual weight loss within a year.
is no clear evidence to implicate other possible means of transmission," the report said.
Most patients at this time rely on traditional healers because many attribute the disease to witchcraft, the journal reported.
"Slim disease occurs predominantly in the heterosexually promiscuous population, and there
The report, however, said the new illness "is strongly associated" with the AIDS infection and 63 out of 71 patients had traces of the AIDS virus in their blood.
Ridiculous facts concerning pizza and its origins...
Pizza was actually invented in 1623, when the wife of Luigi Pizziani accidentally sat on a large ball of bread dough left to rise on a chair. The resulting pancake like such an interesting, saucer-like shape that she spread it with tomato sauce, tossed on some cheese, and popped it into her stone oven. Later, when pizza had become a Pizzeria family staple, Luigi's wife took to throwing it at him, his tshirt style, when he didn't come home on time. The first pizza delivery!
