NEWS HAS COMIC SIDE AT WABC

Date: 04 November 1982

By Tony Schwartz

MULTIPART special reports focusing on sex and violence have long been staples of local newscasts during ratings periods, but now WABC is trying a novel approach to the news: a comedy series, starring its own anchors and reporters. Last night, WABC's ''Eyewitness News'' began a three-part special report at 6 o'clock entitled ''News Flubs.'' And just what are these? According to WABC's advertisements for the series, these are the ''goofs and boo-boos'' that occur in reporting the news that never make it to the air ''but can have you in stitches.'' Thus, the anchor Bill Beutel began narrating a report last night with mistakes ranging from mispronunciation of names by reporters and anchors to technical errors during live interviews.

Tuesday's election results are likely to produce important compromises in economic policy that in turn would result in more progress against inflation, political and economic analysts said today. The voters seemed to be challenging - and modestly undermining - supply-side orthodoxy, but at the same time no major officeholders identified with it were turned out. Neither could the returns be read as reflecting an eagerness to adopt expensive spending programs traditionally offered by liberals, analysts agreed. The analysts acknowledged that the Democrats' gain of 26 seats in the House of Representatives also raised the possibility of Congressional confrontation with the Administration. But to deal with such thorny problems as Social Security funding, military spending and the rising Federal budget deficit, they suggested, the more likely courses would be pragmatism and bipartisanship.

By publicly launching a campaign against the Salvadoran courts and security forces, the Reagan Administration is not only trying to get results in two celebrated murder cases involving American victims but is also seeking to bolster those forces in El Salvador it believes are more moderate and able to bring about the desired social and economic changes. Administration officials said the ostensible reason for the blunt statements in recent days by Ambassador Deane R. Hinton was the need to drive home to Salvadoran political figures that the American Government and public will not continue to supply military aid if the killers of the Americans are not brought to justice. The officials said the immediate impetus for Mr. Hinton's remarks was the decision by two separate judges to exonerate, in effect, an army officer accused of participating in the killing two years ago of two American land redistribution workers and the head of El Salvador's land program. Right Wing Causes Concern But they added that the Administration wanted also to signal its great unhappiness with the right wing in El Salvador, headed by Roberto d'Aubuisson, a one-time army officer who is now the president of the Constituent Assembly.

The 1982 Elections Democrats widened their majority in the House by 26 votes Tuesday in an election that raised doubts about President Reagan's ability to protect his conservative economic program from alteration by Congress. The Republicans retained firm control of the Senate, but White House strategists estimated that the election had cut about 24 conservatives from the bipartisan coalition that helped pass Mr. Reagan's key economic legislation. (Page A1, Column 6.) President Reagan was conciliatory about the sizable Republican losses in the House and predicted that both he and the Democrats would have to make ''concessions and compromises'' on major issues.

NEWCOMER TO THE TOP: MARIO M. CUOMO

Date: 04 November 1982

Mario Matthew Cuomo, who was elected Tuesday as the 52d Governor of New York State, comes to his new job from a lifetime of watching government work but with little experience as a top decision-maker. The 50-year-old Governor-elect is a relative newcomer to elective politics. His triumph followed two unsuccessful attempts in the last eight years to win elective office. He had said this year's race would be his last if he lost. Mr. Cuomo first ran for office in 1974, losing the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor. But his longtime acquaintance, Hugh L. Carey, called him to Albany the next year by appointing him Secretary of State, and in 1978 Mr. Cuomo was elected Lieutenant Governor on Mr. Carey's ticket.

MURDOCH BID FOR PAPER REPORTED

Date: 05 November 1982

Special to the New York Times

Rupert Murdoch, the Australian who has built a press empire in his country, in Britain and in the United States, is negotiating to buy The Boston Herald American from the Hearst Corporation, according to industry sources here and in New York. The acquisition of the financially stricken paper in operating form would depend on the unions' willingness to accept what might be substantial reductions in manning levels, and if a sales agreement cannot be reached, the management here has told union leaders, the newspaper will be shut down.
