SOME AT CBS CRITICAL OF REPORTS ON SLANDER TRIAL

Date: 02 June 1983

By Sally Bedell Smith

For three days during the last week, Dan Rather found himself in the unusual position of sitting before television cameras as a newsmaker instead of a news anchor. Testifying in a Los Angeles County courtroom, the anchor of the ''CBS Evening News'' was the star witness in a $30 million slander suit filed by Dr. Carl A. Galloway against CBS and Mr. Rather. Dr. Galloway contends that he was slandered by a 1979 segment on ''60 Minutes'' reported by Mr. Rather that linked the doctor with an insurance-fraud ring. Mr. Rather's appearance in the courtroom has prompted widespread press coverage - much of it critical - and television coverage by the rival networks ABC-TV and NBC-TV as well as CBS itself. The most extensive coverage has been given by cable television, on which the Cable News Network, a 24-hour-news service, offered 16 hours of his testimony live to its 19.3 million viewers. A good deal of this reporting of the trial has prompted criticism from executives of CBS.

Special to the New York Times

An investigator for the Los Angeles District Attorney's office testified today that he was aware of fraudulent medical reports being issued by the office of the doctor who is suing Dan Rather, CBS, and two production executives for slander because of a ''60 Minutes'' broadcast which linked him to an insurance-fraud ring. Laurence Rooker testified that early in 1979 he had visited the Manchester West Clinic, where Dr. Carl A. Galloway once worked parttime, and had on one occasion spoken on the phone with someone who identified himself as Dr. Galloway.

News Analysis

The Federal Reserve, according to one of its top officials, is ''sitting on its hands,'' a policy prescription that at best will allow interest rates to stay about where they are for now. Four governors of the Federal Reserve, in interviews, said the Fed is not changing its basic policy, which has relied on week-to-week judgments rather than fixed reactions to changes in the closely watched money supply figures and a desire to accommodate a recovery while continuing to fight inflation. The reason is that the central bank, the governors said, is caught between opposing forces that, in effect, are making the Fed wait as long as possible before choosing what to do about the explosive growth of M-1, a basic measure of the nation's money supply, and the conflicting need for lower interest rates over the long run. 'Do the Best That You Can' ''We obviously haven't changed what we are doing,'' said one of the Fed's seven governors. He was interviewed in the wake of last week's meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee, the Fed's policy-making arm. ''You have to do the best that you can in a conflicting situation,'' he added.

News Summary; WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 1983

Date: 01 June 1983

International The President assessed the results of the weekend summit conference of major industrial democracies in an interview with eight correspondents in Williamsburg, Va. Mr. Reagan predicted that American-Soviet relations would improve because of the support he received from the six other Government leaders for his arms control policies and the deployment of American missiles in Europe this year. (Page A1, Column 6.) Increased military spending is strongly opposed by West European governments pressed by recession. At a news conference with Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger, Manfred Worner, the West German Defense Minister, said that ''close financial limits'' would prevent Bonn from contributing financially for relocating American troops in West Germany or improving NATO's conventional weapons.

International A shift in U.S. arms control proposals was signaled by the Reagan Administration for the Geneva talks with the Soviet Union on strategic weapons, but officials said that agencies were divided over the details of the new American negotiating position. President Reagan has scheduled a meeting next Tuesday to resolve the issue. (Page A1, Column 6.) Peru's Government is challenged by a small but growing group of leftist insurgents. The Government has declared a 60-day state of emergency and yesterday more than 500 people were taken into custody for questioning. The army under the elected Government reported that 823 people have been killed this year in clashes involving the insurgents. (A1:1-2.)

LATIN ENVOY: MR. SIMPATICO

Former Senator Richard Bernard Stone, who was sworn in yesterday as President Reagan's special envoy to Central America, is remembered by a former member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's staff for his ''remarkable ability to appear simpatico with the culture and politics of whoever he was talking with.'' It is a quality that is likely to be in great demand as Mr. Stone, a conservative Democrat from Florida, negotiates the turbulent politics of one of the most troubled regions in the world. Critics have already noted Mr. Stone's work as a registered foreign agent for the rightist Government of Guatemala from March 1981 to March 1982, and have questioned whether the 54-year-old multimillionaire will be able to work effectively with the various leftist organizations in Central America. But when he was chosen to be Ambassador at Large for Central America in late April Mr. Stone told reporters that he did not believe he would be harmed by having served the Guatemalans.
