HEADQUARTERS OF U.P.I. MOVING TO WASHINGTON
Date: 27 April 1983
United Press International will move its headquarters and principal editing offices from New York to Washington by August, officers of the wire service said yesterday. U.P.I. officers said the move from New York, where U.P.I. was founded 76 years ago, was intended to reduce operating costs and simplify news gathering. They declined to provide many details of the timing or economics of the move. It had been widely discussed within the news industry for several months and was officially reported Sunday to newspaper publishers on a U.P.I. advisory board.

President Reagan, contending that some news articles based on unauthorized disclosures of Government information had endangered American relations with a foreign country, yesterday defended his attempts to restrict the flow of some information to the news media. ''We're not trying to hide anything that shouldn't be hidden,'' Mr. Reagan said in remarks at the convention of the American Newspaper Publishers Association in Manhattan. He offered no specific examples of articles that had endangered American relations abroad. ''I really am pretty upset about leakers,'' Mr. Reagan said in defending his Administration's policy. The White House has suggested legislation that would impose jail sentences on Government employees and former employees who disclose secret information without permission, and would require Government workers to submit to polygraph tests to prove their innocence.

Three television journalists and three of their newspaper counterparts gave each other advice yesterday on how each would like to change what the other did. They agreed that celebrity journalism was bad and that acknowledging errors was good. In generally polite terms, they disagreed on how much each had to teach the other. The panel discussion was the final session of the 97th annual convention of the American Newspaper Publishers Association, which drew a record number of registrants, 2,888, to its three days of meetings at in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.

JERSEY COURT RULES PRETRIALS MUST BE OPEN TO PUBLIC
Date: 27 April 1983
By Robert Hanley

The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled today that the public and press have the right under both the Federal and State Constitutions to attend pretrial hearings in criminal prosecutions. At the same time, the court created a two-part standard that would allow a trial judge to close a pretrial hearing if he found a ''realistic likelihood'' that prejudicial publicity would impair a fair trial and he determined that he could not seat an impartial jury. The burden of proof under the standard the court created rests with the defendant. In a 6-to-1 decision, the court said its ruling was designed as a ''balancing test'' meant to satisfy what it held was the public's First Amendment right of access to all phases of criminal courtroom proceedings, not just trials, and a defendant's Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial before an impartial jury.

EXCERPTS FROM MONDALE'S ADDRESS TO PUBLISHERS
Date: 27 April 1983
Following are excerpts from a speech by former Vice President Walter F. Mondale to the 97th annual convention of the American Newspaper Publishers Association in New York yesterday, the text of which was made available by his staff: Today I want to speak about our national security. I speak as a Presidential candidate and as an American. I believe that a bipartisan consensus exists on first principles. All Americans treasure freedom. All Americans recoil from the prospect of war. All Americans insist on unquestionable defenses.All Americans accept the link between strength and peace. And all Americans recognize the threat posed by the Soviet Union. We do not believe that the Soviets are the misunderstood friends of freedom. We do not believe that Yuri Andropov is the chairman of the Moscow branch of the United Way. We all know that Soviet leaders are cynical, ruthless and dangerous. They repress their citizens. They maintain their pact by force. In Poland, they destroy trade unions. In Afghanistan, they murder. In the Middle East, they sabotage peace. From Angola to Central America, their proxies exploit instability. Their relentless military buildup, well beyond defensive needs, directly challenges Western security.

The National Commission on Excellence in Education's assertion that a ''tide of mediocrity'' is imperiling American schools has put the Reagan Administration in a somewhat uneasy position: It is being asked to provide leadership in a field that it has declared is not really a concern of the Federal Government. While affirming that the support and management of public education is essentially a state and local matter, commission members were clearly looking to the Administration to encourage educational reform. Initial indications were, though, that the White House remains primarily concerned with issues such as tuition tax credits, school prayer and abolishing the Department of Education -issues that the commission bypassed as irrelevant to the main task. In a document entitled ''A Nation at Risk'' and released Tuesday, the 18-member commission assailed American education as a wasteland of low expectations, mediocre achievement and misguided priorities and said the country had engaged in ''unthinking, unilateral educational disarmament.'' The language was frankly intended to make the improvement of education into a political issue at all levels.

President Reagan used the extraordinary platform of a joint session of Congress tonight to try to preserve his Central American policy rather than to proclaim a broad new strategy or to signal a shift in his position. Privately, his advisers acknowledged that the President had felt compelled to resort to this risky political tactic in order to get his case before the American people and to try to arouse both the public and Congress to the magnitude of the United States' stakes in the region and what he called the ''minimal'' cost of defending the nation's southern flank. The drama of his appearance before Congress parallels the urgency of the current diplomatic mission of Secretary of State George P. Shultz, who has flown to the Middle East to try to rescue the Administration's peace initiative and long campaign to free Lebanon of foreign forces. For, as several officials acknowledged, the President and Secretary Shultz felt the need to put their personal prestige on the line in unusual ventures because the Administration found itself on the political and diplomatic defensive in both Central America and the Middle East.

Warnings that New Yorkers are facing tough times have been standard fare in every budget message since the onset of the city's fiscal crisis eight years ago, but those Mayor Koch issued last January were more dire than most. Thousands of layoffs, many new or increased taxes and unacceptable pain for everyone would be necessary, he said then. And so yesterday, when he formally proposed a budget for fiscal 1984 that he said would mean much less pain than he had predicted, Mr. Koch addressed himself to the course traveled by the budget since January. ''It has a lot in common with a roller-coaster ride,'' he said. At another point, the Mayor sought a second analogy to explain why his earlier warnings had turned out to be just that. ''Economic forecasts are not much better than weather forecasts,'' he said.

International More military aid for El Salvador totaling $30 million, half the amount sought by President Reagan, was approved conditionally by a House Appropriations subcommittee. The compromise figure was proposed by the panel's chairman, Representative Clarence D. Long, Democrat of Maryland, who said, ''If we gave the $60 million, we would have lost all our leverage.'' (Page A1, Column 3.) A new envoy to Central America whose first assignment will be to help Salvadorans deal with political and human rights issues is to be former Senator Richard B. Stone, Democrat of Florida, according to Reagan Administration officials. The special assignment was decided on in an effort to placate Congress. (A13:1-3.)

International President Reagan exhorted Congress to back his program of military and economic assistance to El Salvador and other countries in Central America. In an unusual address to a joint session of Congress, Mr. Reagan asserted that the present turmoil in the region posed a threat comparable to what the United States faced in Europe after World War II when President Truman sought aid for Greece and Turkey. (Page A1, Column 6.) The Democrats' response to President Reagan's address was made by Senator Christopher J. Dodd of Connecticut. Terming the Administration's insistence on military aid to Central America ''a formula for failure,'' he urged in its stead economic aid to relieve ''the factors which breed revolution,'' and said the United States should work for negotiated settlements in the region. (A1:4-5.)
