NEW G.O.P. POLICIES ON NEWS ASSAILED

Date: 05 September 1984

By David E. Rosenbaum

David Rosenbaum

Editors of the country's two major news services said today that rules put into effect over the weekend by the campaigns of President Reagan and Vice President Bush would deprive the public of full coverage of the candidates' statements and activities. The President's staff started a new policy of limiting the number of reporters who may accompany Mr. Reagan when he walks along security barriers at campaign stops to shake hands and make small talk with bystanders. Today, however, the White House said it was reconsidering the rule, The Associated Press reported, and the President's staff allowed normal coverage of Mr. Reagan's stop at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. Mr. Bush has begun excluding reporters altogether from his campaign plane. The reporters, photographers and technicians assigned to cover the Vice President must travel on a separate press plane instead of Air Force Two.

ICE POSES PUZZLE BUT SHUTTLE TRIP IS HELD A SUCCESS

Date: 04 September 1984

Space agency officials, vexed by a large chunk of ice that clung tenaciously to a water vent on the side of the shuttle Discovery, were weighing several options today on how to remove it, including using the ship's robot arm to knock it free. Although the ice was not considered a serious problem and was not expected to interfere with the completion of the six-day mission, the officials spent much of the day considering the merits of several dramatic plans to remove it. One scheme, to have two space-walking astronauts lasso the ice with a tow line and yank it free, was rejected tonight, an official at the Johnson Space Center in Houston said. The main concern was that on re- entry the chunk of ice might damage the shuttle's protective tiles as it broke loose, resulting in time lost to make repairs after the Discovery had landed.

NBC News, which has been trying to take the lead in news innovations, will be moving part of its news operations to Moscow this week for an extensive set of reports on Russian society and what it calls ''the new cold war.'' ''When we looked at the upcoming fall campaign,'' said Lawrence K. Grossman, the president of NBC News, ''we thought there would be no more important issue facing us than this.'' The network, which began negotiations with the Russians three months ago through conversations between the Soviet Ambassador to the United States, Anatoly F. Dobrynin, and the network news vice president, Gordon Manning, will be sending 25 reporters, producers and technicians to the Soviet Union this week. ''It started here in editorial meetings in late May,'' Mr. Manning said, ''and I went to see Dobrynin in June.'' Mr. Manning said Ambassador Dobrynin ''encouraged the project.''
