And at least one CBS-affiliated station, WAGA in Atlanta, has protested CBS's failure to develop a successful morning program by telling the network that it would drop the ''CBS Morning News'' for its final months this fall.

Michigan Republicans went to the polls today to elect precinct delegates in a primary that posed the first major test of Vice President Bush's ability to survive early challenges to a bid for the Presidency from his party's conservative wing. While the votes were being tabulated tonight, the results of a poll by NBC News and The Wall Street Journal showed Vice President Bush to be the overwhelming Presidential choice of the Michigan Republicans who voted today. Mr. Bush, who has spent close to $1 million in this race, was named by more than 40 percent of 2,552 primary voters questioned as they left the polls. His two challengers in the Michigan contest, Representative Jack F. Kemp of upstate New York and the Rev. Pat Robertson, the television evangelist from Virginia, were each named by 9 percent.

Unprovoked Adventures on a Trip to Panama

Date: 06 August 1986

To the Editor: The chord struck in me by the recent detention in China of your correspondent John F. Burns produced nothing short of sympathetic vibrations since, when I first read of it, I had just been released after five harrowing days of totally unlawful detention by the Government of Panama. As a lawyer traveling on behalf of a client in Amsterdam, I and a representative of my client arrived in Panama the morning of Thursday, July 10, for a meeting at a local law firm the following morning. When we reached our hotel, I was given a letter that, I was told, had been delivered earlier in the week. It contained threats against the lives of my traveling companion and me and our families and told us to leave the country forthwith. We were shaken, and I telephoned my client to tell him I would do nothing except leave as soon as I could. I booked the first flight back to New York, which unfortunately was not until the following morning.
