AIDS chart--Because of a computing error, a chart published in Saturday’s editions incorrectly stated the number of AIDS cases among homosexual and bisexual males in Los Angeles County for the month of June. The correct figure is 917 reported cases, bringing the year-to-date total for all AIDS-infected males to 1,109 and the number of AIDS caes among all groups to 1,147.
