The editor-publisher, Jose Burgos Jr., and a number of staff writers, columnists and contributors were seized under a presidential order on charges of subversion and involvement in a conspiracy to overthrow the Government. We Forum, a tabloid that was established in 1976 and that appeared three times a week, had become an outlet for writers of papers closed under martial law. It was ordered closed.

Drew Pearson, the columnist, believed he would be blackmailed by one of his bitterest enemies, Senator John L. McClellan, when he learned that the Senator had obtained some intimate letters from Mr. Pearson to a civil rights worker, a jury was told today. Jack Anderson, the partner of Mr. Pearson, who died in September 1969, testified in a lawsuit against Mr. McClellan's estate that the Senator and Mr. Pearson had waged a ''bitter, ugly, protracted feud.'' Mr. McClellan, an Arkansas Democrat, died in 1977.

Trimming Wings at F.A.A. T he situation at the Federal Aviation Administration was ''horrendous,'' according to Senator Alfonse M. D'Amato, and the New York Republican talked the full Senate into sharing his indignation. What shocked him, among other things, was the fact that J. Lynn Helms, the F.A.A. Administrator, did not take a single commercial flight on official business in his first eight months in office. Instead, he used two Government planes at a cost of $417,000 when equivalent commercial flights would have run about $13,000. Once in 1981, according to Senator D'Amato, Mr. Helms, his wife and several companions used an F.A.A. Lockheed Jetstar to fly from Phoenix to Scottsdale, Ariz., a 20-mile drive, at a cost of $2,149. In the fiscal year 1981, Mr. Helms and other F.A.A. officials logged 375 hours on the Jetstar, costing the Government almost $1.2 million.

The decisive vote in the House of Representatives today to reject funds to procure the MX missile reflects a broad belief on Capitol Hill that President Reagan's military buildup has gone too far, too fast. Two years ago, Mr. Reagan was elected on a platform that called for a stronger national military, and most lawmakers continue to endorse that aim. But today's vote sends a signal to the Reagan Administration that the Pentagon should bear a greater burden in the President's campaign to reduce Government spending and ease the huge budget deficits projected for this fiscal year and the future. The vote cast doubt not only on the Administration's budget priorities, but on its military judgment as well. Many lawmakers argue that the missile is not necessary and would not be effective, and they rejected the Administration's argument that the only way to control the spread of nuclear arms is to build more of them.

The elimination within the next month of ceilings on the amount of interest banks may pay on certain consumer checking and savings accounts is expected to have profound effects on the economy. While many consumers will benefit from higher returns on their federally insured accounts, many also might have to pay more for their credit as a result of the pending changes. ''It's going to be a mixed blessing for the consumer,'' said Irwin L. Kellner, senior vice president and chief economist for the Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company. ''For savers, it will offer an opportunity to obtain higher rates than before, but it will result in higher rates for borrowers because, obviously, it means banks' cost of money will be higher than it otherwise would be.'' The nation's financial structure, itself, could also be significantly changed as a result of the decision by Federal regulators on Monday to authorize an account that has no interest rate ceiling. Except for requiring a $2,500 minimum balance, the account, which will be offered beginning Jan. 5, will be indistinguishable from ordinary checking accounts.

Thus, that venerable agency will create the print and radio advertising needed to promote such programs as ''World News Tonight,'' ''Closeup,'' ''20/20'' and the Barbara Walters specials.

The Madrid Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe appears, after two years, to have entered a new phase in which the chances for any agreement are bleak. The conference, a barometer of the state of relations between East and West, had officially gathered to review and advance the Helsinki Final Act of 1975, but it had some time ago turned into little more than a sounding board for Western attacks on Soviet policies from Afghanistan to Poland. But the conference limped along, with neither East nor West willing to accept the onus for declaring it - and implicitly detente - a failure. The death last month of Leonid I. Brezhnev and his succession by Yuri V. Andropov has so far injected few novelties into the deliberations here. The conference reconvened on Nov. 9 after an eight-month recess.

In the fiscal year ending in September, the Reagan Administration has sought authority to spend $21 billion on two aircraft carriers, the MX missile system, B-1B bombers, Trident submarines and cruise missiles. Yet, if Congress eliminated these requests, actual outlay savings would be only $3.5 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office. This points up the fundamental trap facing Congress as it grapples with the military budget to reduce this year's estimated Federal deficit of $175 billion. To chop the Pentagon's portion of this, Congress has the choice of cutting either military readiness or modernization, or some of both. White House and Pentagon officials continue to insist that President Reagan will stand by his requests and that the blood of any cuts will be on Congressional hands.

News Summary; WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1982
Date: 08 December 1982
International The MX missile was threatened as the House voted 245 to 176 to delete funds to produce the weapons in 1983. Fifty Republicans joined 195 Democrats in denying the funds for the $26 billion program to build 100 of the intercontinental weapons. Although the House vote was not the final Congressional action, it was a severe setback for President Reagan. (Page A1, Col. 6.) The Administration accused Moscow of trying to influence the Congressional debate over the MX missile with warnings that the Soviet Union would match any new missile produced by Washington. (D23:6.)
