When Harrison A. Williams Jr. resigned last Thursday from the United States Senate, he gave Governor Kean of New Jersey his newest political problem. Mr. Kean has been trying to smooth the feelings of legislative leaders who became upset when he held his first briefing on his $6.4 billion budget with several newspaper publishers instead of with them. The lawmakers learned about the budget, along with their constituents, by reading about it in the newspapers. Now Mr. Kean must choose a worthy Republican to fill Mr. Williams's seat and the Governor appears to have allowed events to develop without planning for a quick response.

For the last two weeks, the Reagan Administration has conducted what senior officials acknowledge has been an intense public relations campaign designed to dispel doubts about its policies in Central America. The effort, which has relied heavily on the use of intelligence information, has produced mixed results. Until Friday, officials thought they were making significant headway. Some members of Congress, including several influential committee chairmen, came away from private intelligence briefings saying they were convinced that the Administration had strong evidence to support its charges of Soviet and Cuban involvement in Central America and of Nicaraguan aid to guerrillas in El Salvador. The public was given a glimpse of the intelligence material when the Administration made public aerial reconnaissance photographs in an effort to show that Nicaragua, with Cuban and Soviet assistance, was assembling the largest military force in Central America.

BRITISH PUBLISHER, CITING LOSSES, CLOSES SOHO NEWS

The Soho News, founded nine years ago as a weekly journal of counter-cultural news and opinion for New York City, was closed yesterday by its British owners. John Leese, the publisher and editor in chief, said that the owners, the Associated Newspaper Group, had lost $2 million on the newspaper's operations last year and saw no likelihood of stopping the losses. Mr. Leese said that The Soho News had gained circulation in recent months - with total sales of 30,000 copies in most weeks this year - but that the tabloid newspaper needed six more pages of advertising each week than it had been getting.

It set City Hall against a civic group, generated one of the more substantive political tempests in quite some time and provided at least two sides in the forthcoming campaign for governor with ammunition. But what the disagreement last week between the Koch administration and the Citizens Budget Commission did not do was resolve the fundamental problem it raised: Can improvements and declines in such matters as running subways, fighting fires and teaching children be reliably measured? Last week's dispute turned on a report that the commission, a nonprofit group dominated by businessmen, issued two weeks ago. It said some services had declined since Mayor Koch took office, some had improved and some had done both - thus giving the Mayor and his opponents campaign material.

ICONOCLASTIC G.O.P. SENATOR
Date: 15 March 1982
Special to the New York Times
At this weekend's Tidewater Conference, Senator Bob Packwood, the conference host, urged Republican legislators to mute their public criticism of the Reagan Administration. Some Republican leaders suggest that he ought to follow his own advice. Mr. Packwood, the junior Senator from Oregon, made headlines recently with blistering comments about Republican policy and the Republican President. He told an interviewer that President Reagan had harmed the party by clinging to what Mr. Packwood called an ''idealized concept of America'' that ignored minorities and women. Party officials, many of whom were at the conference today in Easton, Md., for Republican officeholders, were furious at the remark. But few were surprised that Mr. Packwood had been the Republican to make it.

International U.S. ties with Cuba and Nicaragua could be normalized as a result of ideas and proposals made by Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. at a meeting in New York with Foreign Minister Jorge Castaneda of Mexico, Mr. Castaneda told reporters following the meeting, his second with Mr. Haig in a week. He said the proposals could lead to a ''series of agreements'' for normalizing relations. Mr. Haig, in a separate news conference, was less specific than Mr. Castaneda but said that the meeting had been ''extremely helpful.'' (Page A1, Column 6.) Egypt's President has put off his visit to Israel because of Prime Minister Menachem Begin's insistence that he also visit Jerusalem, according to a Kuwaiti newspaper. President Hosni Mubarak had wanted to visit Israel before the final Israeli withdrawal from Sinai on April 25, but the Cabinet warned him he was not welcome if he avoided Jerusalem. ''It is not protocol for a state to impose on a visiting chief of state the program of his visit,'' Mr. Mubarak said. (A1:4-5.)

International Differing views on Nicaragua were suggested by Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. He made public the proposals he presented Sunday to Mexico's Foreign Minister for settling problems with Nicaragua over El Salvador, but said he had no reason to assume they would be acceptable to the Sandinist leadership. (Page A1, Col. 6.) The leftist government of Nicaragua suspended all individual rights and guarantees for 30 days because of what it said were United States ''plans of aggression against our country.'' Dainel Ortega Saavedra of the ruling Sandinist junta said the suspension of rights might be extended ''in keeping with the prevailing circumstances in the country.'' (A1:5.)

AFRIKAANS PRESS GOADS BOTHA ON NEED FOR CHANGE
Date: 15 March 1982

''We are waiting, Mr. Botha, we are waiting!'' That note of exasperation, sounded in an article on the need for effective political change, would have been regarded as part of a dreary ritual if it had appeared in an editorial in one of the opposition English-language newspapers. But it cropped up just before the white Parliament opened in January in a signed article by Ton Vosloo, editor of an Afrikaanslanguage daily called Beeld. That was a sure sign the vague and sometimes contradictory hints Prime Minister P.W. Botha had been dropping for several years about his plans for change were starting to wear thin with those who had taken them most seriously. Mr. Vosloo, a 44-year-old former political reporter, is widely held to be running the most vigorous and influential Afrikaans paper in the country. One result is that no South African journalist is thought to have readier access to the Prime Minister. A politician with a notoriously short fuse, Mr. Botha makes sure the communication is not one-way. When he is displeased, Mr. Vosloo gets the message promptly and directly by phone.
