    WORLD'S AIDS CASES
    AIDS cases rose by more than 5,000 in September -- mostly
 in North America, Europe and Africa, the World Health
 Organization said.  The new cases bring the global total of
 reported people with AIDS to 288,337 in 157 countries, but
 WHO estimates the true total to be close to 700,000, with a
 further eight million to 10 million people believed infected
 by the HIV virus that causes the disease.  WHO said the U. S. 
 had recorded 3,339 new cases, raising its overall tally to
 144,221.
