Page 4 -The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, July 30, 1985 Actor seeks hospital transfer IN BRIEF From United Press International PARIS (UPI) - Doctors are considering a request from actor Rock Hudson to transfer him from an isolation unit at American Hospital to a French military medical facility for treatment of AIDS, his publicist said yester- day. The 59-year-old actor was in "stable condition" but has not been treated for the usually fatal AIDS - acquired immune deficiency syndrome - during his eight-day stay at the hospital, publicist Yanou Collart told reporters. "Mr. Hudson remains hospitalized in a special isolation unit at the American Hospital," Collart said. "He has not been treated for AIDS while at the hospital. His condition remains stable. Any decision as to his transference to another hospital is being considered by his physicians." Collart said "It was a decision we made" not to release details of Hudson's illness and said she had "no answer" as to why Hudson requested a transfer to an unnamed military hospital. She refused to answer any other questions. A source who asked not to be identified said Hudson asked to be transferred to the military hospital because he met a French military doctor and "had confidence in the man."

Spanish official killed on his way to work MADRID - Suspected Basque guerrillas assassinated a Defense Ministry admiral yesterday as he rode to work and seriously woun- ded his driver in the second fatal terrorist attack on a senior military official in six weeks. Two or three gunmen in a stolen car intercepted the auto containing Rear Admiral Fausto Escrigas and his driver as they drove down- town to the Defense Ministry and opened fire through the window, authorities said. Doctors said Escrigas, 59, died instantly of 12 bullets that riddled his heart, lungs, head and liver. Uganda leader named KAMPALA, Uganda - Lt. Gen. Tito Okello, commander of the ar- my under deposed President Milton Obote, was sworn in yester- day as head of a new military jun- ta. He promised elections and a return to civilian rule within a year. A semblance of order returned to the streets of Kampala, where soldiers had gone on a two-day looting rampage. A dusk-to-dawn curfew remained in effect and the borders of the East African nation remained sealed, with airports and Lake Victoria ports closed. Tests on AIDS drug may begin soon in U.S. WASHINGTON - Tests might begin in the United States this summer on an AIDS drug developed in France that is repor- tedly being used to treat actor Rock Hudson, the Food and Drug Administration said yesterday. An FDA spokesman said the drug's manufacturer is expected to file a formal application for ex- perimental tests or "com- passionate use" of the antiviral medication, known as HPA-23, within a few weeks. "We will do all we can to ex- pedite the application so they can begin testing as soon as they are ready," FDA spokesman William Grigg said. "That could be within a few weeks or a few mon- ths." Challenger blasts off CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Shuttle Challenger was primed for launch yesterday on America's 50th manned spaceflight even though engineers do not know what triggered the shut down of its engines two seconds before blastoff 17 days ago. The chief scientist said the weeklong astronomy mission is the busiest, most complicated and potentially one of the most produc- tive flights yet in the four-year shuttle program. Their first launch attempt July 12 was aborted when the shuttle's computers detected a coolant valve problem in engine No. 2 and safely shut down the ship's three main engines. Committee supports Mich. wilderness bill WASHINGTON - The House In- terior Committee gave its support to the Michigan wilderness bill yesterday and backers hope they have satisfied questions about mineral rights in the Nordhouse Dunes along Lake Michigan. The bill would create 11 wilder- ness areas totaling 92,000 acres. A spokesman for lead sponsor Dale Kildee, D-Mich., said a floor vote is expected in early September. The committee approved the bill on a voice vote with only Rep. Michael Strang, R-Colo., dissen- ting. "We don't think there's much problem with it (the bill)," a Kildee aide said, basing his views on the tone of discussion during the committee meeting and on reac- tion to a Kildee amendment last week to assure that the owner of mineral rights under the dunes would be given a reasonable chan- ce to use them. The owner, Gerald Derks, wants to explore for oil and gas deposits.
