The Government continued its crackdown on the press today by closing an Italian news agency. Human rights officials, meanwhile, defended themselves against what they said were attempts by President Augusto Pinochet to link them to terrorist actions. Jaime Castillo Valasco, a prominent Christian Democratic politician who is president of the Chilean Human Rights Commission, said General Pinochet's oral attacks on human rights workers the day after he survived an assassination attempt were based on ''an erroneous concept of political doctrine.'' [ Three French Roman Catholic priests who were detained after the assassination attempt were ordered expelled by the Government, The Associated Press reported. The three were seized by soldiers Monday in a raid on La Victoria, the Santiago slum where they worked. ] Under the third military edict issued since a state of siege was imposed late Sunday, the Italian news agency ANSA was ordered to stop sending news reports from Chile or distributing news from abroad here.

On the morning after the Democratic primary election for United States Senator, Mark Green stood at an IRT subway stop on East 86th Street yesterday, shaking hands and just plain basking in the victory of what he calls his underfinanced ''march of dimes'' campaign. But already he was looking toward November, when voters will choose among him; Alfonse M. D'Amato, the Republican incumbent, and John S. Dyson, the Liberal Party candidate. And his performance yesterday was typical Green - on the one hand, the underdog, seeking voter sympathy by belittling his finances in comparison to those of his opponents; on the other hand, the combatant, pulling no verbal punches. ''I'm not worried about a general election this fall, where I'll be outspent two to one,'' he declared. ''I don't need $5 million or $10 million. I need enough to expose D'Amato's record of votes against New York.''

PHILADELPHIA PAPERS RETOOL IN FACE OF CITY-SUBURBAN FLIP-FLOP
Date: 11 September 1986

To some employees of The Philadelphia Daily News, especially those who came over from The Bulletin when it died in 1982, the news that their paper had lost $30 million in the last six years was unsettling to say the least. To the management of Philadelphia Newspapers Inc., which owns and operates The Daily News and The Philadelphia Inquirer as part of the Knight-Ridder chain, this was an inevitable but correctable result of the population shifts and economic transformations that have reshaped metropolitan Philadelphia in the 1970's and 1980's. The News concentrates on coverage of Philadelphia proper, the shrinking, least affluent part of the metropolitan area of more than four million people, and thus the least attractive target for advertisers. On Tuesday employees of The News learned about the losses when a package of editorial changes for their paper, wrapped in a new overall strategy for both papers, was unveiled. If the strategy works, the employees were told, The News, an afternoon tabloid that depends entirely on newsstand sales, will continue as the aggressive pursuer of local developments that its 255,000 buyers have come to know.

Stombaugh, an American diplomat who was expelled last year on espionage charges.

Ladies and gentlemen, the famous radio talk-show authority known as ''Lipp of the Airwaves, King of the Ether and Other Gases'' is here to answer your questions about the Daniloff affair. Question: Why is everybody so sure Nicholas Daniloff really isn't a spy, as the KGB claims he is? Answer: Use your head, stupid. If you were hiring spies to work in Moscow, would you waste good money on a news reporter who's got Commie gumshoes tailing him day and night? And I'll ask you another question, airhead: Even if his entire life wasn't tailed, bugged, tapped and wired, he would still be a reporter, wouldn't he? Or are you one of those dupes who think the press can be trusted to get the facts right? Next caller.

State Department officials said today that in order to allow high-level diplomatic efforts to continue, the United States held off on taking measures against the Soviet Union for the detention of an American correspondent. Although there was no sign of a breakthrough in the case of Nicholas S. Daniloff, correspondent for the magazine U.S. News & World Report, State Department officials said they hoped something might develop soon to make retaliation unnecessary. White House officials said they favored pressure on Moscow to release Mr. Daniloff without completely freezing Soviet-American relations, and to make it impossible to have a summit meeting if Mr. Daniloff is not freed. Reagan Ready to Take Steps President Reagan, who returned to Washington on Monday, was described by aides as ready to order measures against the Soviet Union in response to the detention of Mr. Daniloff, who has been charged with espionage in apparent retaliation for the arrest of Gennadi F. Zakharov, a Soviet employee of the United Nations, in New York. Mr. Zakharov was formally indicted today on espionage charges.
