The launching of the space shuttle is a full-scale event for the news media, and as bleachers, trailers and tents here fill with news people, there is a hint of carnival in the air. Public affairs officials of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration have bent every effort to inform, entertain and comfort the army of news representatives that has gathered at the Kennedy Space Center here. Some 3,500 reporters, photographers, technicians, news directors and editors, many accompanied by their spouses and children, have arrived for the launching, which is scheduled for Friday morning. Among them are 462 representatives of foreign news organizations.

In response to a White House request designed to improve security for Vice President Bush, the two major national news services and Washington's two major newspapers have said they will stop publishing Mr. Bush's full schedule of daily activities, at least temporarily. The White House press office said that it had not yet been decided whether to ask for a similar halt to publication of President Reagan's schedule after he leaves George Washington University Hospital, where he is recovering from a bullet wound. Larry Speakes, the deputy White House press secretary, said Tuesday that he would seek such a ban, but later he said that, for now, it would apply only to the Vice President's schedule.

The war of nerves over Poland is entering a new stage, Western analysts here believe, and Stanislaw Kania, the leader of the Polish Communist Party, may not survive. Already, according to Soviet and Eastern European informants, the Kremlin has decided to bypass him in attempting to curb the influence of Solidarity, the independent trade union, and its more vocal political allies. At recent closed briefings for senior members of the party bureaucracy here, the word was passed that Mr. Kania, who has been in office for only seven months, had failed to take stern enough action. He has been described as a man who tells visitors what they want to hear and then acts in whatever way will cause him the least difficulty.

PARTS MAKERS RESIST U.A.W.

Date: 08 April 1981

Special to the New York Times

The United Automobile Workers union, which has recently won key organizing showdowns with General Motors in the South, has had considerably less success in unionizing the companies that make auto parts, which now account for most of the auto jobs in the region. ''The part suppliers are where we have the most organizing to do,'' James M. Turner, the union's top organizing official for eight Southern states, said. The parts suppliers, he said, ''know where to relocate'' to avoid unions. So it is not surprising that the parts producers have begun to pour into such traditional nonunion strongholds as North Carolina, the nation's least unionized state, and Tennessee, as well as into other states in the South, which is the least unionized region in the country. And in the last five years, these suppliers have arrived faster than the union can organize them.
