New Voice for Mets

Date: 28 December 1982

Tim McCarver, the St. Louis Cardinals' catcher in three World Series in the 1960's, will be the new voice in the booth for the Mets for their games on commercial and cable television next season. He succeeds Lorn Brown, who had been badly received by television critics and sports columnists during his one season in New York this year. Al Harazin, a vice president for the Mets, said McCarver would join Ralph Kiner and another announcer to be named in the Channel 9 telecasts, and that he would work with Kiner and Bud Harrelson on the cable telecasts.

WHO is to bear responsibility for the deaths and illnesses that have struck thousands of people who had contact with asbestos over the last several decades? That is the question addressed on an ''ABC News Closeup'' documentary tonight at 8. The answer of the victims is that responsibility rests with the companies that manufactured the useful but sinister product. This hourlong documentary is given over largely to the stories of men, women and children who have been afflicted with mesothelioma, a form of lung cancer whose only known cause is asbestos. Three of them, whose interviews with ABC in 1978 are reshown here, have since died.

On Nov. 9, the day before Leonid Brezhnev died, Italian Interior Minister Virginio Rognoni received a visit from the C.I.A.'s vice-chief of station in Rome and a staffer from the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee. The Americans wanted to know about the Bulgarian connection to the shooting of the Pope. Mr. Rognoni explained that Ali Agca, the Turkish gunman, had been informed a few months before that Italy could not afford the cost of keeping him in solitary confinement much longer. To Mr. Agca, that meant he would be transferred to an ordinary prison and would promptly be murdered. That induced him to talk about the Bulgarian Government officials who hired him to kill the Pope.

Negotiations between Israel and Lebanon start Tuesday in an atmosphere of uncertainty about the ability and willingness of President Amin Gemayel to reach an accord on Israel's major demands for security arrangements and normalization of relations. Despite assertions by Israeli officials during the last 10 days that the Beirut Government has endorsed a working paper setting forth Israel's main points, Defense Minister Ariel Sharon is reported to have failed, in a trip to Beirut late last week, to get a Lebanese signature on the document. And officials here now say that Moslem figures in the Lebanese Government, including Prime Minister Shafik al-Wazzan and others, are resisting key elements of an accord for fear it would damage Lebanese ties with the rest of the Arab world, just at a time when considerable infusions of oil money are needed for economic recovery and reconstruction. Informed officials in Jerusalem expect the talks to take at least two months, and possibly much longer. U.S. Viewed as Dubious In addition, there is a vague sense in Israeli political circles that the United States is somewhat cool to Israel's desire for an immediate accord on normalization, fearing that it would contribute to further internal strife in Lebanon, which could open opportunities to the Soviet Union for renewed influence there.

When it was established in 1978, the Commission on Judicial Nomination was supposed to remove politics from the process of choosing Court of Appeals judges and lead to true merit selection for New York State's highest court. But in the last two weeks, as a result of inconsistencies in the law, disagreement over its role and dissatisfaction with its performance, the 12-member panel itself has become something of a political football. By law, the commission's deliberations are secret. However, several days before any official announcement, its selections became known to everyone concerned, including the man who must make the final choice, Governor-elect Mario M. Cuomo.

In refusing to pass a comprehensive immigration bill, Congress made a statement about immigration policy as profound as any that could have been made through legislation. In the House of Representatives, the debate was diffuse but passionate, and most of it took place between 11 P.M. and 1 A.M. on two nights, so the questions it raised may be lost on those who renew the campaign for thorough revision of the immigration law next year. But the questions are important. The House, living up to its name, represented the diverse regional, political and economic interests that have a stake in immigration. Three hundred amendments were proposd for the House version, and only a few had been dealt with when the House abandoned work on the bill on the afternoon of Dec. 18. There was a sharp contrast in the more patrician Senate, which, by a vote of 80 to 19, approved a similar bill sponsored by Senator Alan K. Simpson, Republican of Wyoming.

International Yuri V. Andropov is the first leader of the Soviet Union since Lenin to have lived abroad. Mr. Andropov served in the Soviet Embassy in Budapest from 1953 to 1957, at the time of the Hungarian uprising. Some Hungarians recall him as a shrewd, calculating official. (Page A1, Columns 1-2.) The Kremlin declared an amnesty for convicts to mark the 60th anniversary of the formal merger of republics into the Soviet Union, but the wording of the decree indicated that it excluded those convicted of political offenses and a wide variety of other crimes considered serious.

International Peking told Moscow that the Chinese leadership acknowledges the necessity for compromise by both sides if they are to progress in efforts to reduce tensions. The message took the form of a greeting on the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Soviet Union. (Page A1, Column 4.) Most South Koreans feel betrayed by the United States, Kim Dae Jung, the South Korean dissident politician who arrived in Washington from Seoul last week, said. Mr. Kim said the United States had failed to demand a return to democratic government in South Korea, but he said he was ''very grateful'' that the Americans had welcomed him to this country.

LASER-PLAYED DISKS DUE

THE CD's are coming! The CD's are coming! Not the banking CD's, but the audio compact disks. The hoopla for the new technology is evident in the technical magazines, which are busy reviewing the equipment for playing the disks. The record companies are busy preparing the disks, which are expected to be available commercially in this country sometime after their introduction in Europe in March. The disks, drawn from digitally recorded masters, use only one side, are a little over four inches in diameter, are played by a laser instead of a stylus and contain about an hour's worth of music. They are reported to be impervious to wear or mishandling and have surfaces that are absolutely silent and afford great dynamic range. Of course, a special machine is needed to play them, and many manufacturers are already in the field, with Sony leading the way.
