MAJOR NEWS IN SUMMARY

Date: 18 September 1983

Slugging It Out but Also Stepping Back In the air, on the ground and under the Sea of Japan, Americans and Russians last week dueled fiercely over the lessons of the Soviet downing of Korean Air Lines Flight 7. Both sides, however, seemed intent on insulating the acrimony from crucial negotiations on curbing the nuclear arms race, though no new accords seem imminent. Expressing their anger at the 269 deaths in the Sept. 1 attack by Soviet military jets, governments and pilots of 16 Western countries suspended airline flights to Moscow for 14 to 60 days. With State Department support, New York and New Jersey barred Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko's Aeroflot plane from landing at Kennedy Airport when the United Nations General Assembly opens this week. He could have flown into a military airfield but Mr. Gromyko decided not to attend, accusing the United States of failing to guarantee his safety. The State Department insisted Mr. Gromyko would have received the same security protection he has had during dozens of previous visits.

Cesar Chavez, who led the successful battle to establish America's first farm workers' union, is moving in several directions in an effort to transform his union into a broader-based political force. At the annual convention of the United Farm Workers last week in Fresno, Calif., Mr. Chavez told reporters that he had formed what he calls a ''Chicano lobby'' to help Democratic candidates and had ordered computerized direct- mail equipment to help spread a political message to members and supporters. He also indicated that the union was interested in representing the needs of urban Hispanic Californians as well as farm workers, its traditional constituency. As well, Mr. Chavez gave new details of a previously announced effort to resume the consumer boycott, the union's oldest and most successful weapon.

International Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, the Libyan leader, put his troops in Lebanon at the disposal of the Syrians and the Druse. The fighting in Lebanon widened, with anti-Government militiamen shelling the Lebanese Air Force base in the north of the country. The Lebanese Army appeared to be holding the small advances it had made it in its attempt to seize a strategic mountain ridge overlooking Beirut. (Page A1, Column 6.) Confirmation that P.L.O. guerrillas were in Lebanon's Shuf Mountains supporting the Druse militia against the Christian militia and the Lebanese Army came from Yasir Arafat, chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization. He said that fighters from his group had been in the area before Israel withdrew its troops and that other Palestinians were in the area as ''volunteers.'' (A14:1.)

Frogs' Tongues

Using microcomputers, high-speed movie cameras and a technique called synchronized electromyography, a Michigan University professor and a colleague disproved an old hypothesis that the tongues of frogs work like a crossbow when they feed on insects. The tongue of the common frog Bufo marinus works like a catapult, they reported in June 1982. To discover this, the researchers connected various muscle groups in the frog's throat by hair-like wires to machines that measured tiny increases in electrical voltage. Changes in voltage occurred when muscle fibers were stimulated by a signal from the frog's brain. By synchronizing these measurements with a 400- frames-a-second camera focused on the tongue, the researchers were able to isolate the major muscle groups involved in each action of the tongue.

International Andrei A. Gromyko will not attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The Soviet Union canceled the Foreign Minister's trip because, it said, the United States had failed to guarantee his safety or the proper handling of his official aircraft. Tass, the Government press agency, accused Washington of violating ''generally recognized international norms.'' (1:6) The downing of the Korean airliner has produced ''a fundamental and long overdue reappraisal'' of the Soviet Union around the world, President Reagan said in his weekly radio address. Mr. Reagan said the Russians hoped that ''their crime and coverup will soon be forgotten and we'll soon get back to business as usual.'' He said he believed the Russians are ''badly mistaken.''
