When the 204th session of the New York State Legislature was not delaying something, it accomplished quite a bit. But it spent most of its six months putting off issues it had intended to face, or extending laws that many lawmakers believed were in need of reform. If there was an underlying theme to the session, which recessed for the summer Friday, it appeared to be that a Legislature united in battle against the Governor can sometimes accomplish more than a Legislature and a Governor at relative peace. After months of squabbling, the Legislature, in one of its most significant actions, approved Governor Carey's five-year plan for $5.85 billion in improvements to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's crumbling physical plant.

CHIEF OF CENSUS BUREAU

Date: 14 July 1981

By John Herbers, Special To the New York Times

John Herbers

When Lyn Nofziger, President Reagan's political operative, was asked to pass on the nomination of Bruce K. Chapman as director of the Bureau of the Census, he observed that he had never recommended a member of the Ripon Society for anything, but there had to be a first time for everything. Mr. Chapman, a 40-year-old former Secretary of State for the State of Washington, is about as far as he can be from the conservative Republicanism of Mr. Nofziger and Mr. Reagan and still be in the same party. In the state of Washington, Mr. Chapman, who made an unsuccessful race for governor last year, was a part of the moderate wing of the party that never much liked Reaganism, and in his youth in the East he was a member of the Ripon Society, a group of moderate and liberal Republicans who hammered away at the old-line conservatives in the party. Signal by Reagan on Agency Mr. Reagan's selection of Mr. Chapman to head the Census Bureau, an appointment announced today, was seen as a clear indication that in the bureau in nearby Suitland, Md., where statisticians and demographers are tucked away in World War II buildings, partisan politics is not to be an overriding concern.

The Israeli attack on an Iraqi nuclear reactor last month has revived debate in Washington over a critical question: Has the 35-year international effort to curb the spread of nuclear weapons failed? Reagan Administration officials, key Congressmen and a wide range of nuclear policy specialists are asking themselves whether, in light of the raid and other recent developments, some new approach to the problem is required. The question is being raised when several smaller nations either have or are on the verge of acquiring atomic weapons by clandestine means, when the safeguards imposed by the nuclear supplier nations are being criticized by those who fear the spread of nuclear arms as inadequate and when the Reagan Administration is about to announce its guidelines for curbing the spread of such weapons in the 1980's. A Topic for Ottawa Because of the heightened concern over this Armageddon issue, as some specialists call it, it is certain to figure on the agenda next weekend when the leaders of the industrialized non-Communist world, which are the nuclear supplier nations, assemble in Ottawa for their annual economic meeting. ''Ottawa represents an extradinory opportunity to get a grip on this problem,'' said Senator John Glenn, the Ohio Democrat who was prompted by the Israeli raid to write President Reagan urging, among other steps, an immediate moratorium on the transfer of potentially dangerous nuclear equipment and technology to sensitive areas such as the Middle East.

International An economic and monetary policy rift was underscored in a joint announcement by Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and President Francois Mitterrand that they would oppose the policies of Washington at the Western economic conference in Ottawa next week. West Germany and France fear that the continued high interest rates in the United States will increase Europe's troubling inflation and unemployment. (Page A1, Column 5.) An Israeli-American accord on arms appeared likely. In a possible effort to clear the way for a resumption of F-16 deliveries to Israel, Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Robert C. McFarlane, a State Department counselor, issued a declaration in Jerusalem. It said that ''misunderstandings'' arising from Israel's bombing of an Iraqi nuclear reactor on June 7 had been ''clarified to the satisfaction of both sides.'' (A1:4.)

International Moves to punish rioters in Britain have been tentatively agreed upon by the Government, which, however, will investigate the underlying causes of the riots that in the last 10 days have scarred more than 30 English cities and towns. Political sources said the Cabinet would meet today. Among the measures already given provisional approval are the establishment of special courts with increased powers, legislation to make parents financially liable for their childrens' acts, and a youth employment program costing millions of pounds. (Page A1, Col. 1.) Need for a stronger Western Europe was agreed upon at the opening of a two-day meeting in Bonn between West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and President Francois Mitterrand of France. Spokesmen for both sides said it was agreed that Western Europe should deal with the Soviet Union from a position of military strength. (A1:2.)

FOR BROKAW, ANCHOR SPOT OFFERS AN IDEAL FORUM

TOM BROKAW has been up, as usual, since the inhospitable hour of 4:30 A.M. He has put in his two hours as anchor on ''Today,'' sat through several meetings and answered a slew of telephone messages and correspondence that piled up over the long weekend he spent in England watching the Wimbledon tennis matches. Now it is 3:30 P.M., and he stands outside his office with a gym bag slung over his shoulder, off to pump a little iron at the health club down the street. It is a tight schedule. After he is finished, he and his wife have plans to meet friends for dinner.

Advertising; Callaway And the Cobra

Date: 14 July 1981

By Philip H. Dougherty

IN the cramped and busy offices of Holland & Callaway the reproduction of the hooded cobra on the desk of Jim Callaway, president and chief executive, seems very much at home. Just another agency executive's desk ornament, one muses. Another creative excess. But, as it turns out, there is a story behind this cobra. It begins in a bar. Mr. Callaway, the University of Missouri's gift to account management, was is just such a watering spot one evening late in 1979 discussing the state of horror films with an acquaintance, a movie producer named Bill Wilson.
