This is the first time there has been a honduran military response. They have a basis to respond to these a Reform measures Are Only a Crumb says Tutu Johannesburg South Africa a anti apartheid leaders said he govern ment has reacted grudgingly and too late to foreign pressure by offering reforms that Are nothing More than tokens that ignore the demand for sharing Power. Most newspapers cautiously approved a government panel s bid to abolish pass Laws which keep Blacks in tribal Home lands and out of while areas and president . Botha s vow to restore citizenship to 8 million Blacks in tribal homelands. Under the Homeland policy Blacks lost their South african citizenship when they became Citi Zens of the tribal land. Bishop Desmond Tutu the Black anglican Bishop of Johannesburg and Winner of last year s Nobel peace prize called the measures a the United democratic front South Afri Ca s main anti apartheid coalition issued a statement saying Botha was mane vering to Blunt the Sharp Edge of Black the right of our people to land property and full South african citizenship is non negotiable and can never be seen As a favor fro the master s table said the United demo cratic front a multiracial Alliance of 600 groups claiming More than 2 million followers. Liberals welcomed the measures As the first big policy change in 30 years. They said re treating on apartheid the White minority government s enforced policy of race segregation must be part of a broader move toward Equality All of this is overshadowed by the fact that a 4-Ycar-old can be killed with a rubber Bullet by three White policemen Tutu said refer ring to one of the latest deaths in rioting. He said the government was reacting too late to foreign pressure with piecemeal re form grudgingly satellite from Page 1 House Felt the test would be a gesture of american resolve before the Summit meet ing but that the administration would probably not set another test shot close to the leaders meeting. The White House spokesman Larry Scakes Friday morning called the test a incentive to the soviets to bargain More seriously on efforts to limit anti satellite and other weapons. Randolph declined to disclose precise de tails of the Experiment. He said the warhead a no explosive de vice guided itself to its target using an array of telescopes and heat sensors. Another air Force source said the anti satellite weapon was moving at 600 to 700 Miles an hour when it struck its target. The soviet Union had threatened to break its self imposed two year moratorium and re sume tests of its own anti satellite weapon if the american test were carried out. On thursday a Federal District judge in Washington denied a request by four Mem Bers of Congress and an organization of scientists to Block the test. They made their plea on the ground that Reagan had not tried to negotiate a treaty Banning such weapons. A 1984 Law requires As a Condi Tion for testing that the president to certify that serious bargaining is under Way. The Senate late thursday rebuffed a last ditch attempt by sen. John f. Kerry d-mass., to ban the test with an Amend ment to an unrelated immigration Bill. In a letter delivered to the White House on thursday 98 representatives appealed to Reagan to cancel the test firing and quickly bring this new and dangerous realm of Mili tary Competition under but Friday morning Speakes told report ers Well we re going to fire he said the administration s response to the charges by critics in Congress was our Posi Tion on that is that we Are continuing to work in Good Faith to negotiate with the soviet Union on a verifiable agreement with the strictest possible limitation on anti satellite weapons consistent with our own National Security. We arc engaged in those discussions with the soviets at Geneva and we believe that asat testing can constitute an incentive to the soviets to reach agreements on Hose issues and the anti satellite weapon called Ana sat originally was going to be tested against a Complex balloon like target vehicle Laden with instruments designed to mimic soviet satellites and to measure precisely the track of the weapon. That target was returned to the manufacturer because of defects and the disabled satellite was selected from a Cata Logue of space debris. Pentagon officials acknowledged that using a dead satellite would reduce the scientific value of the trial but they said Theair Force decided it would be worse to delay the test for months while the target vehicle was repaired. The target satellite designated As p78-1and informally known As so wind after one of its main experiments was launched in 1979 to measure the influence of the Sun radiation on the Earth s magnetic Field. It originally orbited Over the Earth s poles at an Altitude of 318 to 336 Miles. Nine More tests Are planned every two or three months but a Bill expected to pass Congress this month would limit to three the number of tests against space targets. Most experts said it would take Many such tests before the military could be confident its weapon would work in War. Experts said the sowing was a difficult target because it was smaller and in a higher orbit than the soviet reconnaissance satellites that would be the main targets of such a weapon in wartime.
