International 14 U.S. Army helicopters transported a battalion of Honduran troops close to a border area where Nicaraguan Government forces were said to be fighting Nicaraguan rebels. An American Embassy spokesman in Honduras said the helicopter crews consisted of 50 American soldiers. [ Page A1, Column 3. ] The White House moved to counter criticism that it had overstated the seriousness of a reported Nicaraguan attack on Nicaraguan rebel bases in Honduras. In an unusual move, the White House spokesman, Larry Speakes, read a letter from the Honduran President to President Reagan requesting military aid to contend with Sandinista forces. [ A6:1. ]

International American Navy forces struck against Libya for a second day. United States officials said Sixth Fleet forces destroyed two more fast attack patrol boats in the Gulf of Sidra and bombed a missile site on the Libyan coast a second day.

[ Page A1, Columns 4-6. ] Libya is ready ''for war'' with the United States over the Gulf of Sidra, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi announced. If Washington wants to expand the struggle, the Libyan leader said, ''we will carry it out all over the world.'' [ A1:6. ]

No American journalists have been allowed to observe the clashes between the American fleet and Libyan forces in the Mediterranean. Before the hostilities began on Monday, a pool of reporters and photographers was flown to the aircraft carrier Saratoga to observe the maneuvers in which that carrier and two others were involved. The fighting began later in the day. The journalists were kept far away from the area off the Libyan coast where the hostilities took place, and were returned to Italy later in the day. They were not not flown across the boundary claimed by Libya as the limit of its territorial waters. Libya calls the boundary ''the line of death.''

Ever since that spring 100 years ago when 150 copies of a four-page newspaper were printed in a small shop in West Brighton, S.I., The Staten Island Advance has been as integral a part of the borough as the beloved ferry that began operation three weeks earlier. Today on its 100th birthday, The Advance - or AD-vance, as the natives call it - is read by 8 out of 10 people on the island on weekdays and 9 out of 10 on Sunday. It is the last truly local paper of any magnitude left in New York City. ''It is an excellent paper for covering local news, although I don't always agree with them,'' said Mayor Koch, who writes a weekly column for The Advance.

PRESS UNITS FRUSTRATED ON LIBYA, BUT FEW BLAME PENTAGON

Date: 27 March 1986

By Philip Shenon, Special To the New York Times

Some news organizations expressed continued frustration today over their inability to venture into the waters off the Libyan coast, where American and Libyan forces clashed this week. But with a few exceptions, they were largely unwilling to blame the Pentagon for their troubles. In fact, some said the military had been remarkably helpful to journalists wishing to see warships involved in the manuevers. The Navy has barred reporters from getting near the fighting in territorial waters claimed by Libya, but several large news organizations said they understood the reasoning behind the military's decision. There has been unusual harmony between the press and the Pentagon, they said.

JURY HOLDS LITTLE ROCK PAPER'S TACTICS LEGAL

Date: 27 March 1986

AP

A Federal jury found today that The Arkansas Democrat had not engaged in an illegal effort to drive its rival newspaper, The Arkansas Gazette, out of business. The Gazette sued The Democrat in 1984, contending the smaller newspaper's competitive actions violated Federal antitrust and Arkansas fair practice statutes. Among other tactics, The Democrat gave away a Wednesday newspaper to 70,000 nonsubscribers for five years, published classified advertising for individuals free of charge, cut some advertising rates to $1 an inch and sold one department store all the advertising it wanted for $500,000 a year.

In Lebanon, 5 Forgotten Americans

It's hard to find mention in the European and American press of what the United States is doing to free its hostages who remain in Lebanon. The Reagan Administration's ''quiet diplomacy'' remains quiet. The forgotten Americans remain forgotten. Somewhere in Lebanon this month, probably chained to a radiator in a damp room, Terry A. Anderson marked the beginning of his second year in captivity. On the other side of the world, a service and candlelight vigil were held to try once more to remind everyone of his plight.

In recent years, Republicans have held control in Schoharie, an upstate county of dairy farms. Eleven of the 16 men who make up the Schoharie Board of Supervisors are Republicans. Tuesday nights, the Republican majority gathers for what it calls a closed political caucus. The Clerk and the County Attorney attend, too. A stranger walking in might think it is a public board meeting - except a stranger cannot walk in. ''We go over the upcoming issues,'' said Stewart Mace, a Republican and board chairman.
