Washington; FREEDOM FROM THE PRESS

Date: 29 May 1983

By James Reston

The Williamsburg summit meeting has not had a very good press, but the fault lies partly with the press itself. The leaders of the industrialized nations didn't invite over 3,000 reporters; they had nothing more in mind than a quiet talk and a stroll in the gardens, but they landed in a circus. Article 12 of the Virginia Bill of Rights, signed in Williamsburg on June 16, 1776, stated that ''the Freedom of the Press is one of the great bulwarks of Liberty, and can never be restrained but by despotick governments.'' This was written by George Mason of Stafford County, Va., and was the model for the first article of the national Bill of Rights, but it never occurred to George that 207 years later another British official would be overwhelmed by a plague of journalists.

MOSCOW'S FACADE ON WAR AND PEACE CRACKS A BIT

Twice in recent days the facade of unanimity on matters of war and peace that the Soviet authorities try so hard to maintain has cracked. First, it was a newsreader on the Moscow radio's English-language service who reshuffled a report on Afghanistan to cast Soviet troops in the role of villain. Then British women campaigning for peace enraged officials of the state-backed Soviet Peace Committee by arriving at a formal meeting with one of Moscow's dissident pacifists in tow.

CUOMO IS PROVING A TOUGH BEAT TO COVER

As the lights dimmed at the annual production of the Legislative Correspondents Association last weekend, four harddrinking reporters were seen busy at a pressroom poker table, more interested in the cards than the gubernatorial campaign they were covering. ''I'm working on a hot lead,'' says one of them when an editor phones. ''It's going to be Koch all the way.'' Laughing in the audience, Mario M. Cuomo savored this small moment of vindication. During his years as Lieutenant Governor, he had tried to get the Albany press corps to listen to him (which they sometimes did) and write about him (which they rarely did). Now, his slightest musings command undivided attention. It has not been an easy adjustment for either side. Reporters say the Governor can be argumentative and literal-minded. ''Reporters,'' the Governor said after the show, ''are like epidemics. They follow catastrophes.''

Four years ago when the leaders of the seven advanced industrial nations gathered in Tokyo, the power of the oil producing countries of the Persian Gulf and North Africa was so much on their minds that it seemed as if the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries was an uninvited guest at their dinner table. This year, the preoccupation with the political turmoil in Europe and the propaganda battle with Moscow over the touchy issue of deploying American nuclear missiles in Western Europe and the politially seductive prospect of an American-Soviet summit meeting made the Russians a palpable, though distant, presence at Williamsburg. ''Tokyo was the OPEC summit,'' recalled Chiaki Yamakawa, an anchorman for Fuji Television, who has covered several economic summit meetings. ''This is the Russia summit.''

Although Democrats far outnumber Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs committee and could easily prevail on most issues, including aid to Central America, they have spent a considerable amount of time searching for bipartisan compromises. Two weeks ago the Democrats on the committee, who account for 24 of its 37 members, fashioned such a compromise on military aid to El Savlador, which was adopted by a vote of 36 to 1. Now they are seeking a compromise on a proposal to end covert aid to the Nicaraguan rebels. Some Democrats say that in this quest for solutions that can be supported by both parties they are coping with Congressional realities and the unlikely event that Congress would adopt legislation that was supported only by the liberal-dominated Democrats on the Foreign Affairs Committee. Others cite growing Congressional concern over an abrupt termination of covert aid.

International A discussion of the nuclear arms talks with the Soviet Union was the first issue as the meeting of leaders of the major industrial democracies in Williamsburg, Va., got under way. The meeting is officially devoted to economic topics, but Reagan Administration officials said that the give-and-take on arms at last night's dinner meeting could prove to be among the productive moments of the weekend of meetings.

Date: 30 May 1983

International The Soviet Union was urged to negotiate constructively on reducing nuclear weapons by the leaders of the seven industrialized democracies at their meeting in Williamsburg, Va. But they warned that any attempt to divide the West would fail. The statement, backed by all the seven nations, followed daylong discussions on its wording, taking up unexpected portions of the leaders' agenda. It left an impression of divisions at a conference intended to express economic solidarity and converging views. (Page 1, Column 6.) Control of six Syrian supply depots near Damascus was seized by rebel Palestinians Saturday as a mutiny spread within Yasir Arafat's Al Fatah organization. The opposing sides in the dispute gave differing accounts of the takeover of the six gasoline, food and truck centers. The pro-Arafat Palestinian press agency said ''alien armed elements'' had seized the depots, but a rebel spokesman said that their commanders had simply taken them over. (1:2.)

When East Windsor Township, N.J., put up a new municipal building last year, it wasn't interested in flashy looks; some people thought the finished work resembled a Mayan ruin. What officials wanted was an energy-efficient structure.
