THE NEWARK NEWS: IN MEMORIAM

Date: 30 August 1981

IT WAS late afternoon, Aug. 31, 1972, when the telephone rang in my office in Munich. The secretary said it was my wife calling from New Jersey. My first thought: It must be a death in the family. In a way, it was. As I picked up the receiver with trembling hand, she said: ''I thought you should know. The Newark News died today.'' The Newark News dead! It did not seem possible. I could not remember a time that it was not a part of my life. As a schoolboy I had carried it door-to-door in my neighborhood in Kearny, an enclave stretching from West Hudson Park to the Passaic River.

Major News in Summary; Bad News With A Long Fuse

Date: 30 August 1981

Though he has been accused of many things, no one is likely to charge Senator Harrison A. Williams Jr. with failing to put a good face on bad news. Convicted in court of bribery and conspiracy, the New Jersey Democrat was condemned by his peers last week for conduct ''ethically repugnant to the point of warranting his expulsion from the United States Senate.'' Nevertheless, Mr. Williams pronounced himself ''gratified'' that in recommending the harshest possible punishment, the Select Committee on Ethics asked the Senate to postpone its imposition until a Federal judge ruled on his appeal.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1981 International Cuba and Russia were again accused by Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. of playing major roles in the fomenting of civil war in EL Salvador, and he accused the country's rebels of engaging in ''straight terrorism'' against the civilian population. His remarks were made at a news conference at the State Department after an announcement by France and Mexico that they had recognized the rebels as a ''representative political force.'' (Page 1, Column 6.) The joint French-Mexican statement presented to the United Nations Security Council was apparently a challenge to American policy on El Salvador. It said that, in addition to recognizing the Salvadoran guerrilla-led opposition as a ''representative political force,'' the opposition had a right to participate in negotiations aimed at ending the fighting. The statement also called for reorganization of the Salvadoran armed forces before ''authentically free'' elections could be held. The French-Mexican proposals run directly counter to the Reagan Administration's policy, which seeks the military defeat of the guerrillas and their exclusion from elections for a constitutionl assembly, scheduled in March.

Most property owners whose holdings would be taken over to make way for the proposed 42nd Street Redevelopment Project are not expected to be among the developers included in the plan sponsored by the city and the New York State Urban Development Corporation. They simply do not have the financial resources to carry out the ambitious plans envisioned by the U.D.C. One possible exception is the Brandt Organization, the owner of eight theaters in the project area, which includes the two blocks on 42d Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues. According to Robert Brandt, a vice president, the organization will submit a bid by the Sept. 4 deadline to restore some of its theaters, among them the Victory, Lyric and the Selwyn, to their original condition.

Last December, in another case with political overtones, the campaign committee that had worked unsuccessfully to re-elect Senator George McGovern in South Dakota found itself in some legal difficulty, too. The committee was accused of having offered meals and a television set on Election Day to some Indians on the Pine Ridge Reservation, to induce them to go to the polls. Mr. McGovern, a Democrat, lost the election to James Abdnor.

With considerable fanfare, and not a little fluttering of feathers, the peregrine falcons returned to Manhattan last year. They were released in an effort to rebuild their population in New York City, where - as in the rest of the Eastern United States - they had been wiped out by the effects of DDT.
