August 10, 1985

Federal budget deficits will be higher than projected through 1988 even if Congress achieves all the spending cuts in the budget plan it approved last week, according to the Congressional Budget Office and Administration officials. The Congressional Budget Office projects the deficit at $175 billion in 1986, $163 billion in 1987 and $143 billion in 1988. Congressional sources said the projections were part of a final draft of a review to be made public next week. At the same time, Administration officials said today that rough estimates for the Administration figures to be made public at the end of the month show a deficit of around $185 billion in 1986, $155 billion in 1987 and $125 billion in 1988.

Violence and confrontation spread deeper into black townships around Durban today, pitting black rioters against white police officers and Indian vigilantes armed with shotguns and pistols. At one point, the arson and looting engulfed the former home of Mohandas K. Gandhi. The house was pillaged and buildings and schools next to it were set on fire by black looters. The authorities said today that 32 people had been killed in the last 24 hours, bringing the death toll to 52 in four days of unrest in townships like this one 12 miles north of Durban, the principal city of Natal Province. Toll Could Rise Township residents said they feared the toll would climb as bodies were recovered from gutted homes and buildings. The police have acknowledged killing 22 of the people slain in this area, but the circumstances of the other deaths remained unclear.

After working for two hours to repair a damaged kidney from an automobile crash victim, doctors here last month implanted the organ into the wife of a senior adviser to the King of Saudi Arabia. When the organ failed after 18 hours inside her body, doctors at Presbyterian-University Hospital here replaced it with the 26-year-old donor's second kidney, again bypassing Americans who had been waiting longer for the life-enhancing operation. The two operations, as well as hundreds of similar ones on other foreigners around the country, have inflamed a simmering national debate among medical experts and government officials on how to distribute the limited supply of kidneys and other organs. In its broadest sense, the debate is about how doctors should choose among thousands of sick and dying people who need transplants. Preference for Citizens Many doctors, citing the limited number of organs available, have begun to argue that American citizenship should be a prerequisite for a transplant.

The Federal Government moved today to ban the use in fresh vegetables and fruits of six sulfite preservatives that the Food and Drug Administration said had been linked to at least 13 deaths since 1983. The ban, which would apply to both food markets and restaurants, was proposed by the F.D.A. with the approval of the Office of Management and Budget, which reviews all regulatory actions for the Reagan Administration. The proposal is expected to take effect after a 30-day period for public comment. The ban would not affect other foods that now contain the sulfite preservatives, including frozen potatoes, seafood, dried fruits, wine and beer.

The Reagan Administration, in a ''serious'' discussion, has advised South African officials that the political climate within their country will have a direct impact on relations with Washington, Administration officials said today. The presentation of the United States position, according to White House officials, stopped short of an ultimatum on the part of the American officials who met with the South Africans in Vienna Thursday and today. Concern Over Unrest They said the Administration had made the South Africans fully aware of its concern over the continued internal strife within South Africa, including the state of emergency proclamation that Pretoria imposed in 36 magisterial districts in the Johannesburg area and eastern Cape Province on July 21. Describing the talks, a senior Administration official said, ''What they talked about is overall reform, basic constitutional reform aimed at fundamental aspects of apartheid.''
