ISUPPOSE I should have been flattered. Would I, the ABC News producer wanted to know, go to Israel? Sure, I said, flashing back to my last trip there in '69, when nice old Look magazine sent me over to do the women's army. Gee, I thought, maybe ABC wants the same story -or maybe something on a kibbutz - or maybe .... But when I stopped fluttering and started listening I found out the producer didn't want me to cover the women's army, but the men's. He wasn't asking me to go over there and soak up a commune, but to beef up the front. He was inviting me to be ''their man,'' as John Chancellor used to say, in Israel. A big assignment. An assignment that could really get you somewhere. An assignment to which you'd have to be crazy to say no.

A reporter who refused to testify in a murder case returned to jail tonight after a Supreme Court Justice took no action on his last-minute bid to remain free. Associate Justice William J. Brennan did not act on the petition for a stay by Paul Corsetti, a reporter for The Boston Herald American. But Governor Edward J. King said on television tonight, ''I think the first thing I should do tomorrow is review the case thoroughly.'' Mr. Corsetti's attorney, Thomas C. Troy Jr., had appealed to Governor King in a local television news program on which both men appeared from different places on a split screen.

Associate Justice William J. Brennan of the Supreme Court today formally declined to stay the 90-day sentence of a Boston newspaper reporter jailed for refusing to testify about interviews he had with a murder suspect. Justice Brennan, in a two-page opinion, said he would not free the reporter, Paul W. Corsetti, who works for The Boston Herald American, because he doubted Mr. Corsetti could win his case. The Justice was asked Tuesday to release Mr. Corsetti until the full Supreme Court could consider his contempt-of-court conviction.

'NETWORKS LISTEN WHEN MONEY RUSTLES'

Date: 02 September 1982

To the Editor: George Watson's championing of direct viewer response to TV news coverage, network news' self-scrutiny of their rights and responsibilities and the need for networks to ''provide an attentive ear and open mind to the public's concern and criticism'' (''TV, Hear Viewers,'' Op-Ed Aug. 25) is offensively disingenuous. elevision news, like other programs, costs a great deal of money to produce.

Limiting American cruise missiles may now have become the main Soviet goal in the strategic arms reduction talks in Geneva. At the same time, the Soviet Union seems to be laying the groundwork for deploying large numbers of its own cruise missiles. This is the judgment of Administration officials involved in the two sets of Soviet-American talks in Geneva on limiting strategic or intercontinental nuclear weapons and on reducing medium-range missiles deployed in Europe. This view seems to be supported by statements made in an interview in Moscow by Maj. Gen. Viktor Starodubov, a member of the negotiating team in the strategic arms talks.

The Manville Corporation's decision to file for protection from its creditors under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Act has been at least as trying for the financial institutions and suppliers to which it owes money as for the company itself. In fact, at least in the short run, Manville's bold strategy for dealing with the thousands of asbestos-related lawsuits seems to be causing less hardship for Manville than for the vast network of other companies affected by the bankruptcy petition - and in the long run, the bankruptcy may shift some of the legal liability onto those companies. One of the immediate effects of any Chapter 11 filing is to stop the company from making any further payment on its debt until a plan for reorganization is approved by the court. According to the bankruptcy petition, this leaves the Prudential Insurance Company waiting for $68 million; the Morgan Guaranty Trust Company, $36 million, and the Bank of America, Chemical Bank and Citibank, N.A. $20 million each.

International ''Full autonomy'' for Palestinians, under some sort of Jordanian supervision, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip was endorsed by President Reagan. In a televised speech, Mr. Reagan also called for a halt in Jewish settlement of the occupied areas that he said was essential for peace. (Page A1, Column 6.) Israeli officials reacted angrily to a letter from President Reagan in which he asked for a freeze on Jewish settlement in the occupied territories and suggested that they be linked in confederation with Jordan.

ISRAEL REACTS ANGRILY TO PLAN; News Analysis

In his appeal for a new effort to solve the Israeli-Arab dispute, President Reagan moved from the role of a mediator to that of a full participant in the negotations, laying out by far the most detailed formula for a settlement offered so far by the United States. A senior State Department official said tonight that there were great risks in such a course. But he said the risk of angry repudiation by one or more of the principal parties was offset by the risk that Middle Eastern nations might have misrepresented the American position without such a declaration. A Categorical Vision President Reagan, apparently guided by Secretary of State George P. Shultz, was far more categorical than any other President in describing an American vision of how to settle the Palestinian problem.
