Early this year the U.S. Navy, which owns the island about 60 miles west of San Diego and uses it most of the year for shelling and bombing practice, had planned to shoot the goats. Their reason was that biologists said the goats were destroying the habitats of several species of wildlife that appear on federal endangered species lists. The slaughter was put off when Defense Secretary Caspar W.

Weinberger intervened on behalf of the Fund for Animals, which proposed to save as many of the goats as possible by capturing them in nets dropped from a helicopter. During late February and early March, according to the fund's president, Cleveland Amory, 870 animals were caught and taken to the mainland, where they were offered for adoption by private citizens. The Navy allowed the rescue effort to resume July 5 through Friday, and Amory said that with the capture of 550 more animals, the herd on the island has been reduced to between 100 and 300. The goats, descendants of ani-mals put on the island about 200 years ago by seamen to provide food for crews of passing vessels, at one time numbered more than 20,000.

The goats multiplied rapidly, and as they nibbled away at the undergrowth, they threatened the well-being of certain birds, lizards and plants protected by the federal Endangered Species Act, so the Navy was required to take steps to exterminate them.

Amory said he would propose within the next few days that his group be allowed to return to the island next winter to get as many more as possible. Navy spokesman Ken Mitchell said, however, that ordinarily the island is "cold" (not under fire) only during July of each year and that permitting the fund to capture goats last February was "a unique situation" because of Weinberger's action. "The Navy will take a census of the goats next Wednesday," Mitchell said. "After that, we expect to make a decision on whether to carry out our earlier plan to shoot them."

Los Angeles, Calf. 90049 DOORS NEED HELP! flit I By ROBERT SCHWARTZ, Times Staff Writer About 4,500 people, more than twice as many as were expected, walked through the heart of Hollywood Sunday in an "AIDS Walka-thon" that brought in $630,000 to help fight the disease, organizers of the event said. Walkathon leaders were surprised and delighted by the large turnout, but they downplayed the effect on the size of the crowd from the announcement last week that actor Rock Hudson has the disease. "It may have helped some, but most of these people had already decided to participate and had lined up their pledges," said Richard Zeichik, an organizer of the event. Bill Misenhimer, executive director of AIDS ProjectLos Angeles, agreed that the Hudson announcement did not make a big difference Sunday, but he thought its significance would be felt in the long run.

"As tragic as it is that Rock Hudson has AIDS, the fact that he admitted it is the single most important thing to happen in the fight against AIDS," Misenhimer said. Plenty of Blisters Before the walk began at the Paramount Studios lot on Melrose Avenue, a host of politicians and celebrities, including Mayor Tom Bradley and actress Ann-Margret, addressed several thousand people who filled the dry water tank where Moses once parted the Red Sea. But, said Bradley, educating the public and finding a cure for AIDS would be a more difficult task than the one Charlton Heston faced in "The Ten Commandments." "It's time to put a stop to the nonsense and false rumors that surround this disease," he said. Most of the U.S. vicitms of the disease, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, have been gay men, but it also has spread to other segments of the population.

By the time the crowd set out on the 6.2-mile route, temperatures were in the mid 80s, and first-aid stations reported "a whole lot of blisters and a few cases of heat prostration" along the way.

American Hospital spokesman PARIS UP The Defense Ministry has agreed to admit film star Rock Hudson to a French military hospital "if his condition warrants it," after a request made through the U.S. Embassy, embassy spokesman Philip Brown said Sunday.

Brown said the embassy made inquires at Hudson's request last 1,243,700 women every weekday.

Scoutmaster Michael Feldman of Boy Scout Troop 336 said his troop manned a soft drink booth at the end of the walk because "we don't consider this to be a gay issue it's a community issue, a matter of human compassion." Bruce Redor said Sunday that Hudson's condition remained stable. While France is a joint leader with the United States in research and treatment of acquired immune deficiency syndrome, Paris' major military hospital, the Val de Grace, is not known to be involved in AIDS treatment.
