The surprise withdrawal Tuesday of Prescott Bush Jr. has significantly altered the political dynamics of the race for the United States Senate in Connecticut this year. Mr. Bush, in dropping his challenge to Senator Lowell P. Weicker Jr. for the Republican nomination in a primary election Sept. 7, has freed Mr. Weicker to campaign head on against Representative Toby Moffett, the Democratic candidate, in the November general election. Mr. Moffett, in turn, can concentrate his campaign on Mr. Weicker, the two-term incumbent, without being upstaged by what had been expected to be a six-week primary fight between Mr. Weicker and Mr. Bush. Mr. Moffett, a 37-year-old, four-term Representative from Litchfield, began his offensive today with a news conference criticizing Mr. Weicker's performance and voting record. ''I'd like to thank Prescott Bush for helping to clarify what this race is all about,'' Mr. Moffett said.

President Reagan, saying that he yearned to see ''the bloodshed and the shelling'' end in Lebanon, voiced guarded optimism tonight that a peaceful resolution could be found to the crisis there. At his 12th news conference as President, Mr. Reagan said that ''contrary to some reports or rumors today there are no deadlines that have been set of any kind.'' ''I still remain optimistic that a solution is going to be found,'' he added. In speaking of ''reports or rumors,'' Mr. Reagan was alluding to remarks today by Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel that the United States had promised to seek ''an unequivocal commitment'' from the Palestine Liberation Organization on the principle of leaving west Beirut. Mr. Begin said Philip C. Habib, the special American envoy, had told him that he would ''check on this within the next two days.'' (Page A10.)

International Guarded hope for peace in Lebanon was expressed by President Reagan. At his 12th Presidential news conference, Mr. Reagan carefully avoided placing blame for the conflict on Israel and said that in some instances the Palestine Liberation Organization had been ''the first to break the cease-fire.'' (Page A1, Column 6.) A Palestinian promise is sought in the negotiations on Lebanon. Prime Minister Menachem Begin said the American mediator, Philip C. Habib, promised him Tuesday to try to obtain ''an unequivocal commitment'' from the Palestine Liberation Organization to accept the principle of leaving Beirut. The Israeli leader said Mr. Habib, who returned to Beirut yesterday, believed that such a commitment was necessary for progress in the peace negotiations. (A1:5.)

International The siege of Beirut worsened. For the first time since Israel's invasion of Lebanon, Israeli jets bombed a heavily populated residential area near the heart of west Beirut, damaging more than a dozen apartment buildings. Police sources said 120 people had been killed and 232 wounded, most of them civilians. (Page A1, Column 6.) An Israeli-American meeting headed by Prime Minister Menachem Begin and the special mediator, Philip C. Habib, lasted two hours and 20 minutes. The two emerged from the conference in Jerusalem separately, weary and indicating that no progress had been made in the effort to ease the Lebanon crisis. (A16:1-3.)

OPENING STATEMENT
Date: 29 July 1982
Ladies and gentlemen I have a brief statement here. Nine days ago, on the steps of the Capitol, I delivered a message to the Congress from millions of Americans. Back-to-back decades of red-ink spending had brought our economy to its knees. Long years of runaway inflation, interest rates and high taxes had robbed people of their earnings, and weakened every family's ability to pay its bills and save for the future. The American people understand that we need fundamental reform - reform that goes beyond promises and gives them real protection for their earnings. They want this Government to draw the line and to pass, without delay, a constitutional amendment making balanced budgets the law of the land. The Senate is expected to vote very soon on this matter. And the eyes of the nation will be watching the Congress as it nears this critical decision. Our current economic troubles are the direct result of the mistakes of the past - mistakes that we're working to correct. We've begun to rescue this economy. And the first evidence of recovery has been sighted, but it's only a beginning. Many of our people are still suffering and nothing has been more painful to me than the slowness of our progress.

Date: 29 July 1982
British reporters who covered the Falkland war told a parliamentary inquiry today that official briefings had ranged from erratic to purposely misleading. In one case, an admiral was said to have sought to have reporters file false information to confuse the enemy. Testifying before a House of Commons committee looking into the Defense Ministry's handling of press coverage, Robert McGowan of The Daily Express said reporters had been told that casualties were ''minimal'' after one Argentine bombing attack when, in fact, 50 British soldiers died.

Washington Post Suit Goes to Federal Jury

A jury deliberated for six and a half hours today without reaching a verdict in a $50 million libel suit brought against The Washington Post by the president of the Mobil Oil Corporation and his son. Federal District Judge Oliver Gasch instructed the six-member jury to use stiffer standards in judging whether William P. Tavoulareas was defamed in two 1979 newspaper articles that said he had ''set up his son'' in the oil shipping industry. The judge has declared the senior Mr. Tavoulareas a public figure, meaning he cannot win the suit unless the jury finds the stories were false and were published with reckless disregard or with the knowledge they were untrue.

A packed Federal courtroom here rang with charges and countercharges for more than four hours today as opposing lawyers made their closing arguments in a $50 million libel suit against The Washington Post by William P. Tavoulareas, president of the Mobil Oil Corporation, and his son. The case will go to the six-member jury after Federal District Judge Oliver Gasch gives his instructions on the complex libel law Wednesday morning. The trial began July 7. ''Here is a textbook example of irresponsible journalism, of ignoring the truth each time it stood in the way of a central theme,'' John J. Walsh, an attorney for Mr. Tavoulareas and his son, Peter, said of the two disputed Post articles in late 1979.

PLACEMENT OF ANTI-ISRAELI MESSAGE VIOLATED POLICY, AD AGENCY SAYS

The head of a New York-based advertising agency said yesterday that a political advertisement it placed in five newspapers, which appeared to attribute anti-Israel sentiments to six relief organizations, had been handled in violation of company policy. Bernard Hodes, president of Bernard Hodes Advertising, said the executive responsible for the advertisement had lacked sufficient knowledge of the group that requested it and had been seeking only to increase the agency's revenue. In a statement, Mr. Hodes said that the executive, whom he identified as Pat Howard, had ''shown poor judgment,'' but he added that ''there was no political motive'' behind the action. In a separate statement yesterday, Doyle Dane Bernbach, the parent company of the Hodes agency, said, ''From now on in any advocacy advertising by any D.D.B. subsidiary will have to be signed off by either corporate management or its law firm Davis & Gilbert.''
