THE CHIEF MOURNER IN MOSCOW
Date: 11 February 1984
The appointment of Konstantin U. Chernenko today to head Yuri V. Andropov's funeral commission marked at least a partial triumph for a veteran Communist who only 15 months earlier seemed to have reached the end of his political career. Whether the appointment suggested that Mr. Chernenko had been tapped to succeed Mr. Andropov, or whether it was given him on the strength of his position as the second-ranking secretary, was likely to become clear only when the Central Committee named a new General Secretary. A Feat of Survival But the fact that Mr. Chernenko would be the one to supervise the burial of his former rival was in itself a feat of political survival not without an element of irony. Mr. Chernenko, now 72 years old, had been the closest aide to Leonid I. Brezhnev and the clear choice of Mr. Brezhnev's entourage to succeed the late leader. But Mr. Andropov had outmaneuvered them all, and on Nov. 12, 1982, Tass, the official press agency, announced that Mr. Chernenko himself had nominated his rival to become the new Soviet chief.

Nigeria's military Government has made sweeping new allegations of corruption against politicians ousted in the New Year's Eve coup. It accused one of depositing millions of dollars in a bank account in the name of a United States corporation. It also announced plans to shoot convicted armed robbers in an attempt to improve security and threatened action against newspapers giving too much publicity to the anti-Government statements of politicians who had fled abroad.

TOUR OF 3 LEBANESE VILLAGES U.S. SHIPS SHELLED SHOWS LESS DAMAGE THAN REPORTED

Three villages in this Syrian-controlled part of Lebanon were said to have been among areas subjected to American naval bombardment this week, but a brief, limited tour today showed less destruction than had been reported. A small group of reporters were escorted by Raze Hillel, a Druse militiaman, on a visit to what he said were the most heavily damaged villages, among them Tebyat near here. All but one of the village's houses were found today to be intact. On Wednesday night, however, after the battleship New Jersey had fired more than 250 16-inch shells at targets in the area, reportedly including some as far away as the Shtaura area, 7 miles east of here, Walid Jumblat, the Druse leader, said Tebyat had been ''completely destroyed.'' Marwan Hamadi, the Druse political adviser, had said about 30 people had been killed in that village alone.

BUSH'S MISSION HAS SLIM HOPES FOR BREAKTHROUGH

For President Reagan, the death of Yuri V. Andropov has provided an opportunity for a possible thaw in Soviet-American relations just when Lebanon was providing the Administration's gravest foreign policy crisis to date. Congressmen who had been sharply attacking the Administration over the situation in Lebanon, were by Friday putting Lebanon aside to debate whether the President should go to Moscow. Although the general assumption of diplomats and Soviet experts was that the new Soviet leadership was unlikely to suddenly alter Moscow's bitter suspicion of the Reagan Administration or go back on its refusal to resume nuclear arms negotiations until Washington halts its deployment of new missiles, the White House found it convenient to issue conciliatory statements after the announcement of Mr. Andropov's death. The Administration renewed its call for ''a constructive and realistic dialogue'' and asserted that there was much to cooperate on. In his weekly radio address yesterday, the President called for a joint search for ways to ease ''the mistrust and ill will that cloud our relations.''

POOR RECORD ON ARMS
Date: 12 February 1984

McLEAN, Va. - President Reagan has started his re-election campaign with a public-relations attempt to demonstrate that he and his Administration have been serious about controlling nuclear weapons and reducing the risk of nuclear war. But this public-relations blitz does nothing to change President Reagan's dismal record on the nuclear war issue, which is critical to our survival. The blitz began with the President's own deceptively placatory speech designed to convince our allies that he really wished accommodation with the Soviet Union. Next, Paul H. Nitze, his negotiator for intermediate-range nuclear forces talks at Geneva, and then Edward L. Rowny, his strategic arms reduction talks negotiator, appeared in print and on television, arguing that the Administration's negotiating positions were sound and flexible. Secretary of State George P. Shultz said in Stockholm on Jan. 17 that Washington was ready ''for early progress'' once arms control negotiations were resumed.

RULING BARS CLOSING OF SESSION ON NUCLEAR REACTOR
Date: 11 February 1984

A Federal appeals panel ruled today that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission had acted illegally in deciding to exclude the public and press from a planned meeting about whether to allow the undamaged nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island to reopen. The three-judge panel here ruled unanimously that the decision to close the meeting had violated the Government in the Sunshine Act, which requires that meetings of Federal agencies be open with certain exceptions. In his opinion for the panel, apparently alluding to the Watergate scandal, Judge J. Skelly Wright said: ''A decade ago revelations of secret abuse of official power shocked the nation and seared in our minds a lesson vital to the health of a democratic polity: Government should conduct the public's business in public. ''Congress intended that the Sunshine Act would guarantee public accountability on what is one of the most sensitive and difficult issues of our time: the safety of nuclear power.''

ARMS PACT VIOLATIONS THAT MUST BE AIRED
Date: 12 February 1984
To the Editor: Errors in your Feb. 5 editorial about violations of arms control treaties begin with the title, ''Laundry List Diplomacy.'' The Administration's report on Soviet compliance with arms control commitments focused on seven serious issues spanning a number of agreements and obligations, including incidents reaching back half a decade. Seven carefully selected items in this large subject area do not, I submit, reflect laundry list diplomacy.
