NETWORKS PROMOTE COVERAGE OF HOSTAGE CRISIS

Date: 06 July 1985

By Peter W. Kaplan

Television has had few more turbulent weeks than the one that began with the recent hijacking of a Trans World Airlines jet and the taking of its passengers and crew as hostages. Television news organizations went into high gear, and when it was over, each of the networks made claims about its performance. From the beginning, CBS began reporting on its ''Evening News'' ratings, to make the point that, as a network spokesman said, ''in a crisis, people turn to Dan Rather.'' Television viewers, in fact, did turn to CBS - as its frequent on-the-air promotions for Mr. Rather during the days of the hostage crisis pointed out, and great emphasis was put on Mr. Rather and the other anchors during the coverage.

The Vatican and two news syndicates of Rupert Murdoch have concluded an agreement under which a weekly column by Pope John Paul II will be made available to hundreds of newspapers in the United States and other countries starting in September. Arthur M. Klebanoff, a New York lawyer and literary agent who helped arrange the syndication, said the column, ''Observations by Pope John Paul II,'' would deal with secular topics ranging from family life and problems of young people to global political affairs and social issues. He said he expected the column to appear in hundreds of newspapers, including The New York Post, Chicago Sun-Times and Boston Herald, which are owned by Mr. Murdoch, and in newspapers in Britain, Australia and other countries.

Ah, Tax Simplification

Date: 06 July 1985

General Dynamics, the nation's biggest defense contractor, has owed no Federal income taxes since 1972. Unlike some of the other things it's allegedly failed to do, its tax calculations have been perfectly legal. But any fair tax reform certainly ought to close that large a loophole. President Reagan proposes only to narrow it, then wonders why anyone calls his plan unfair.

PORT AUTHORITY FASHIONS A BRONX INDUSTRIAL SHOWCASE

THOSE who are working to find productive uses for vacant city-owned land in the Bronx have reason to cheer the results of public effort so far at the Bathgate Industrial Park, the new industrial showcase off the Cross-Bronx Expressway. Five years ago, when the city's Public Development Corporation took a flier on a 70,000-square-foot speculative building at the Bathgate Avenue entrance to the site, the area was 21 acres of rubble. Not 10 years ago, it was covered with abandoned and vandalized five-story apartment buildings. But the city found two tenants for the building - Aircraft Supplies, from Clifton, N.J., and Majestic Shapes, a garment maker, from Manhattan - and then turned to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as the site-by-site developer of most of the blocks within the park.

U.S. NUCLEAR FORCES: ARSENAL WILL BE STONGER BUT STRATEGY WON'T CHANGE

Date: 06 July 1985

By Charles Mohr, Special To the New York Times

Charles Mohr

The United States' strategic nuclear forces consist of a bomber first produced 30 years ago, land-based missiles about 20 years of age and submarine missiles of marginal accuracy. Within the next few years, these legs of the ''strategic triad'' will be splinted with powerful new generations of nuclear weapons. The process has been painfully slow, but a strategic modernization program mostly initiated by President Carter and vigorously pursued and expanded by President Reagan is beginning to change the building blocks military planners use to plot the course of a possible nuclear war. Advances in Several Realms Although some parts will come much sooner, within seven years the United States will probably have these things: * A two-bomber strategic air arm designed to be able to penetrate the Soviet Union well into the 21st century, despite expected improvements in Soviet air defenses. * A supposedly invulnerable fleet of missile-launching submarines and a force of land-based intercontinental missiles with better, if imperfect, survivability.

COULD THE NAVY KEEP 600 SHIPS AFLOAT?A CORRECTION

Date: 07 July 1985

As the defense-budget debate has demonstrated, Congress is by no means ready to scuttle the Navy's ambitious ship-building plans. But an increasing number of questions are being raised around Capitol Hill and elsewhere about the long-range effects of the service's expansion plans. At the beginning of the Reagan Administration, the Navy's ''battle force'' - that is, ships that can engage in combat or support it - numbered 480. This fleet included 13 aircraft carrier groups, a formidable array of seapower unopposed by any comparable Russian force.

Mixed Reviews for TV in Hostage Drama

Date: 07 July 1985

To the Editor: Much has been said recently about American media coverage of the T.W.A. skyjacking and of terrorist activities in general. The media have responded with disdain and incredulity to the proposal that they be restricted in their coverage of these activities, and with either horror or condescending amusement to the suggestion of news blackouts.
