NEWS SUMMARY;
Date: 08 October 1984
MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1984 International Israel would consider withdrawing its troops from Lebanon in return for a ''nonwritten'' Syrian commitment to keep its forces where they are and to prevent infiltration by Palestinian guerrillas, according to Israeli officials. Speaking on the eve of Prime Minister Shimon Peres's visit to Washington, the officials said that in exchange for a pullout, Israel would insist on an expanded deployment of United Nations forces in southern Lebanon. (Page A1, Column 2.) South Africa will use its army to support the police in combatting a wave of unrest in recent weeks that has claimed 80 lives in a crackdown on dissent. A police spokesman said army units had been deployed in Soweto, the black township outside Johannesburg. Moreover, the Minister of Law and Order, Louis Le Grange, said the civilian police would be expanded by 45 percent, apparently an acknowledgement that unrest was unlikely to abate. (A1:1.)

Six of eight journalists to question candidates in the coming Vice-Presidential and Presidential debates remain to be selected, a spokesman for the League of Women Voters said yesterday. Two journalists have agreed so far to take part in the Vice-Presidential debate between Vice President Bush and Geraldine A. Ferraro on Thursday: Robert S. Boyd, Washington bureau chief of the Knight-Ridder newspapers, and John Mashek, national correspondent for U.S. News & World Report magazine. The league, which is sponsoring the one Vice-Presidential and two Presidential debates, submitted to the campaigns the names of about 100 journalists as possible questioners. Mr. Boyd and Mr. Mashek were among eight journalists who were not vetoed as questioners by one or the other of the campaigns.

LEAGUE MAY REARRANGE PANEL SELECTION METHOD

A dispute over the selection of the questioners for tonight's Presidential debate has led the League of Women Voters to tentatively seek to overhaul the selection process for the journalists. Dorothy S. Ridings, president of the league, which is sponsoring the debate, said in a telephone interview tonight, ''We're certainly going to discuss changes in the procedure because this is a very serious matter and it has us all upset.'' Mrs. Ridings said the league staff would probably meet Monday to discuss changes. On Saturday she criticized campaign officials for rejecting all but three of 112 prospective candidates proposed by the league. She said the league had first submitted the names of 12 ''first-rate journalists'' and drew up a list of 100 others after those were rejected.

DISCLOSING SECRETS TO THE PRESS: U.S. CALLS IT ESPIONAGE
Date: 08 October 1984

The arrest of a Navy employee accused of selling classified photographs to a British military magazine raises the question of whether the espionage laws can be used to prosecute people who make disclosures to the press. The charge filed last Monday against Samuel Loring Morison, a civilian intelligence analyst said to have sold American satellite photographs of a Soviet aircraft carrier under construction, marks only the second time that the Federal espionage laws have been used to prosecute an official or former official for disclosing classified information to a publication, legal experts said. The first, which was dismissed because of prosecutorial misconduct, was the Nixon Administration's indictment of Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony Russo, who were accused of unauthorized disclosure of the Pentagon Papers, a Defense Department study of the Vietnam War. The New York Times and other newspapers published the documents in 1971.

POLL SHOWS FEW VOTES CHANGED BY ABORTION ISSUE

Only a tiny fraction of voters say they will base their vote in November solely on the candidates' positions on abortion, the latest New York Times/ CBS News Poll shows. Furthermore, those who see abortion as the single overriding issue are evenly divided between those who want to outlaw it and those who do not. Almost every day in the campaign this year the Presidential, Vice-Presidential and many Congressional candidates have been faced with demonstrations over abortion.

COLUMBIA TUNES IN SOVIET TELEVISION
Date: 09 October 1984
Residents of Siberia and students at Columbia University's Russian institute have something new in common: They watch the same television programs. The institute says it is the first time that a university - or any nongovernmental group - has successfully monitored directly internal telecasts of the Soviet Union. To do it, the school had an electronics expert put together a video monitor that scans transmissions from Soviet TV satellites. It's very interesting to see what they watch,'' said David Barrick, a student at the W. Averell Harriman Institute for Russian Studies. ''It's great to see their point of view of the news exactly as it happens.''

CHANCE OF REVIVAL SEEN FOR MONDALE AFTER TV DEBATE
Date: 09 October 1984
By Howell Raines, Special To the New York Times
Howell Raines
Political analysts and poll takers on both sides asserted today that Walter F. Mondale's performance in the debate Sunday night had created a chance for him to revive his campaign against President Reagan. But poll takers agreed that it would be several days before it became clear if the Democratic nominee got significant help in cutting Mr. Reagan's lead of 15 to 23 percentage points in most national surveys of voting preference. On the campaign trail today, Mr. Reagan's re-election team appeared on the defensive for the first time in weeks, as the President's spokesman sought to explain a series of polls taken Sunday night showing that many voters believed that Mr. Mondale had made a better showing in the 90-minute debate broadcast on radio and televison. Aides to the President, who appeared today in Charlotte, N.C., and Baltimore, acknowledged that the Mr. Reagan's performance had been less than overwhelming, but they said Mr. Mondale had not achieved ''a knockout.''

CLASH ON DEFICIT, SOCIAL ISSUES
Date: 08 October 1984
By Howell Raines, Special To the New York Times
Howell Raines
President Reagan and Walter F. Mondale engaged in blunt, sometimes highly personal exchanges as they clashed on economic and social issues tonight in their first debate of the 1984 Presidential campaign. Mr. Mondale, who went into the debate trailing badly in the public opinion polls, pressed Mr. Reagan persistently throughout the 90-minute session. The Democratic challenger turned in one of his most vigorous performances as a candidate. Grinning broadly, he challenged Mr. Reagan to tell how he would reduce the record budget deficits run up under his Administration and accused him of a failure of leadership in the bombings of American installations in Lebanon. Exchanges on Social IssuesSome of the sharpest exchanges came over social issues such as prayer in the schools and abortion, as Mr. Mondale suggested that Mr. Reagan in a second term would allow conservative religious figures, including the Rev. Jerry Falwell, head of Moral Majority, to dictate Supreme Court appointments.
