CRIME has always occupied a large part of television news, mostly as a subject for local stations. Now, however, the network news programs on ABC are examining what may be our most abiding social concern in a series called ''Crime in America.'' Since Feb. 13, the series logo - the crown of the Statue of Liberty, the sound of prison doors slamming shut - has been seen and heard throughout America. ABC has blanketed the land.

JERSEY COURT WEIGHS WHEN TO CLOSE PRETRIAL HEARINGS

Date: 23 February 1983

The New Jersey Supreme Court will hear arguments today on when pretrial court proceedings should be closed to the public to minimize news coverage that might hurt a murder defendant's chances for a fair trial. Although 36 states have reinstated capital punishment in the last decade, New Jersey is one of the first to deal directly with the question of the need for special pretrial procedures when a defendant could be facing execution. Both of the cases the court picked as vehicles for considering the free press-fair trial issue involve well-publicized killings in which the prosecution has said it would seek the death penalty. One case involves the killing Dec. 5 of a Morris County waitress, and the other, the death of a receptionist in a Trenton nursing home Dec. 30.

SECRECY VS. SECURITY

Date: 23 February 1983

By Sissela Bok

Sissela Bok

Never, except in wartime, has America experienced such a rapid, extensive buildup of Government secrecy as in the last few years. The increase has come about through changes so disparate, often inconspicuous and at times so sudden as to elude adequate public debate. Together, these changes signal a sharp reversal of the last two decades' movement toward greater public access to Government information. It is time to assess their cumulative impact and to decide whether they truly serve the nation's best interests. In the name of national security, Federal officials have moved to bring about not only sweeping increases of secrecy about Government activities but also new forms of control over the private sector. They have sought to curtail access to information in several ways: by limiting the scope of the Freedom of Information Act, by giving administrators greater power to classify documents as secret and by expanding covert activities by the Central Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation both at home and abroad.

WRITER ASSERTS PRAVDA ALTERED HIS LETTER

Date: 23 February 1983

By Joseph B. Treaster

Pravda, the Communist Party newspaper, yesterday used what it said was a letter from a man in West Hartford, Conn., in an attempt to revive indirectly the idea of a summit meeting between Yuri V. Andropov, the Soviet leader, and President Reagan. But the author of the letter, Joseph Dubitsky, an 82-year-old retired pharmacist, said the material attributed to him by Pravda was ''distorted completely from A to Z.'' Pravda reported that Mr. Dubitsky had written to Yuri V. Andropov asking, ''Don't you think that a meeting between you and our President would be a reasonable step?'' But in a telephone interview, Mr. Dubitsky said, ''I never requested such a thing.'' ''In your first speech, sir,'' Pravda continued with its purported quotation of Mr. Dubitsky, ''you mentioned that you'd like to see a revival of detente and a restoration of good relations between our countries. Let's press for it, let's live in peace.''

That the Toyota Motor Corporation and General Motors Corporation say they may bypass the United Automobile Workers in the California plant they plan to operate demonstrates the difficulties foreign companies face as they enter the United States. Not only did the companies suggest that they might attempt to thwart union activity in their plant in Fremont, Calif., which was a G.M. plant until it was closed last year, but Nissan Motor Manufacturing Corporation, U.S.A., is trying to do the same at the new plant it is building at Smyrna, Tenn., south of Nashville. Another foreign auto maker, the Honda Motor Company, which builds cars and motorcycles at Marysville, Ohio, has said it will not block the U.A.W. effort to organize its workers, but the union has been forced to engage in energetic organizing efforts, and representation has yet to be achieved. Remarks in Fremont Thursday by Roger B. Smith, chairman of General Motors, and Eiji Toyoda, Toyota's chairman, touched off confusion among union leaders. The two executives suggested that the new company being formed to operate the Fremont plant was not bound by the contract that G.M. had with the union at Fremont.

International Flexibility on arms controls in Europe was suggested by President Reagan in a wide-ranging foreign policy address. He said he was ready to explore alternatives to his proposed ban on all American and Soviet medium-range missiles on the Continent if the principle of equality between the United States and the Soviet Union was respected. (Page A1, Column 1.) A guarantee of Israel's border with Lebanon once Israeli forces have withdrawn from Lebanese soil was offered by President Reagan. He apparently made the offer as an inducement to Israel to agree without further delay to a total pullback of its forces from Lebanon. (A1:4.)
