NEWS ORGANIZATIONS REACT CAUTIOUSLY TO RESTRICTIONS ON COVERAGE
Date: 17 June 1986
By Alex S. Jones

As news organizations gingerly contend with the latest restrictions on news coverage in South Africa, many news executives say they fear that the South African Government intends to apply the rules stringently. ''This is much, much harsher than what we had been working under before,'' said Sylvana Foa, foreign editor of United Press International. But although news organizations say they must comply with the restrictions, most are trying to report as much information as possible without provoking legal action by the South African Government that could cause their employees to be fined, jailed or expelled. There is also a clear sense from the news organizations that they are waiting to see how rigorously South Africa will try to enforce the restrictions.

Two years ago, Lew Crowell quit his job as a telephone company engineer who designed equipment to route calls over copper cables. He joined a new telecommunications company to help set up a 1,300-mile network that transmits calls over glass fibers thinner than a strand of hair. Mr. Crowell's new job is one of 285,600 that were created in Ohio in 1984 and 1985, according to a study commissioned by the National Academy of Sciences. The report showed that Michigan added 251,400 jobs in the same period, a growth that made it second to Ohio among Middle Western states.

International Millions of blacks boycotted jobs in South Africa in a subdued protest to mark the 10th anniversary of the Soweto uprisings. The authorities reported eight more blacks killed overnight in township violence and ordered the most sweeping curbs on press coverage since the hard-line Nationalists came to power in 1948. [ Page A1, Column 6. ] Pretoria defiantly rejected an appeal from President Reagan for restraint and an end to the South African emergency decree, according to White House officials. They said President P. W. Botha had reacted in a manner they termed ''obstinate.'' [ A1:4-5. ]

JUSTICES DENY APPEALS IN NORFOLK BUSING CASE AND ON A LIBEL SUIT
Date: 17 June 1986
By Stuart Taylor Jr., Special To the New York Times
Stuart Taylor
The Supreme Court today preliminarily cleared the way for Norfolk, Va., to end its busing of elementary schoolchildren for desegregation purposes this fall. The Court, acting on a case that could have nationwide implications, denied a request by black parents for an interim order to block school officials, pending further review, from dismantling a court-ordered busing plan that has been in effect for 15 years. This action seemed to suggest the Court was unlikely to require later that busing be reinstituted. But the case, Riddick v. School Board, No. 85-1962, is not over yet, because the Court has not yet decided whether to hear the black parents' appeal of a lower court's decision upholding the city's plan.

PROSECUTOR WHO TOPPLED PHOENIX PUBLISHER IS FACING MISCONDUCT CHARGE

With a plot that might have been devised by Shakespeare, a public drama involving two powerful figures continues to unfold in the desert heat here. Like Hamlet plotting against Claudius, the first player exacted revenge upon the other, only to bring grief upon himself in the process. Last Dec. 26 Darrow Tully, ''Duke'' to friends, the flamboyant and powerful publisher of the newspapers The Arizona Republic and The Phoenix Gazette, resigned after the disclosure that his war record as fighter-pilot hero in Korea and Vietnam was fake. At the time he was supposedly being shot down in Korea, Mr. Tully, who later billed himself as a retired lieutenant colonel, was actually selling ads for a newspaper in West Virginia.

PRETORIA AND THE PRESS
Date: 17 June 1986
By Neil A. Lewis, Special To the New York Times
Neil Lewis
There are few areas that better demonstrate the South African Government's contradictory desires as its attitude toward the foreign press. South Africa yearns to be accepted as a country of Western democratic values, but to maintain its system and self-image it enforces the information practices of authoritarian regimes. In recent months South Africa's leaders have become increasingly resentful of foreign reporters, whose reports they blame for the country's woeful international image. For more than a decade, South Africa has accepted the presence of a large body of foreign correspondents, as if to demonstrate it is part of the larger family of democratic nations. Another reason for permitting their presence is, perhaps, an unshakable belief that people in the United States and Great Britain, among others, will come to sympathize with the situation of white South Africans if their story is told abroad. All journalists heading to South Africa are familiar with some variation of the admonition from South Africans that ''you will see it is more complex than you think.''

Millions of blacks, defying the Government's most severe crackdown on dissent, stayed away from work today in a subdued protest to mark the 10th anniversary of the 1976 Soweto uprising. The anniversary is the most significant date in the lengthening annals of black struggle. The authorities, meanwhile, reported that eight more blacks had been killed overnight in the nation's segregated black townships and ordered the most sweeping restrictions on press coverage since the hard-line Nationalists came to power in 1948. Townships Off Limits The Government's Bureau for Information, the sole source of official news about the national state of emergency declared on Thursday, ordered foreign journalists not to transmit statements that could be considered ''subversive.'' In addition, the Police Commissioner, Gen. Johann Coetzee, barred all journalists from the black townships and forbade any reporting of the movements or actions of the security forces.

AIRLINE HEADS WERE ALLOWED TO TAPE U.S. REPORT
Date: 16 June 1986
By Ralph Blumenthal

Federal officials informally gave Continental Airlines a draft report on findings of safety violations at the airline, according to a Continental vice president. Managers at the Federal Aviation Administration allowed airline executives to read the report into tape recorders. The material was then quickly incorporated into a long response by Continental challenging the findings, which the aviation agency later revised. Officials of the agency could not cite a previous instance in which such taping was permitted. Some officials insisted that airlines were entitled to copies of draft reports, an assertion others disputed. But officials who said the taping had been permissible were at a loss to explain why the agency did not simply give Continental a photocopy.
