EXPANSION OF CBS NEWS IS RESISTED
Date: 25 January 1982

CONTINUING opposition from CBS-TV's affiliated stations may yet doom the network's plan to expand its evening news from 30 minutes to an hour early next year. CBS disclosed the other day for the first time details of its plan for an expanded newscast. The network would offer the one-hour newscast from 6 to 7 P.M. in the Pacific time zone, 5 to 6 in the Mountain and Central zones and 6:30 to 7:30 in the East. Some affiliates have argued that the real need is for more local news, not national and international news, and that their future success is largely dependent on a strong local identity.

The American Bar Association, characteristically gray, pin-striped, businesslike, and traditionalist as its mid-year convention plods through a frigid weekend here, is uncharacteristically worried about the future of the legal system. David R. Brink, the association's president, is a careful man who rose to senior partner of the largest law firm in Minneapolis by helping affluent clients plan their estates. Yet he has been warning in speeches, news conferences and interviews here that ''we are confronted at this very moment with a legislative threat to our nation that may lead to the most serious constitutional crisis since our great Civil War.'' It is not the radicals of the left, the bugaboos of past A.B.A. presidents, about whom Mr. Brink and other dignitaries of the legal establishment have been sounding alarms.

French politics, generally, is the art of the expected, and it takes only a small dose of the unexpected to convulse it. Convulsion is only a shade too strong for the unexpectedly bad weekend suffered by the Socialist Government of President Francois Mitterrand earlier this month. A double defeat, one legal and one political, suddenly interrupted the series of relatively easy circumstances it has found itself in since it took over last spring. On Jan. 16, the Constitutional Council decided that the Government's nationalization law was partly unconstitutional. The Government will have to resubmit parts of the legislation to Parliament. Although passage is assured, the result will be delay and a higher price tag for compensating stockholders.

Intern ational A French-Soviet natural gas contract was signed by France despite strong objections by the Reagan Administration, which fears that the agreement will make Western Europe too dependent on Soviet energy. The gas is to be carried in a 2,800-mile pipeline from western Siberia and extending into France, West Germany, Italy and several other Western European countries. (Page 1, Column 6.) A Soviet economic report for 1981 confirmed previous predictions of a generally poor year economically. Breaking with precedent, it omitted the size of last year's grain harvest, suggesting a figure so low as to be politically embarrassing. (1:5.)

Date: 24 January 1982
The Reagan Administration last week turned a new cold shoulder to Moscow. Geneva talks scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday between Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko were cut back to just Tuesday. More importantly, Mr. Haig, instead of setting a date to resume strategic arms limitation negotiations, will focus on Moscow's role in Poland's military crackdown. Arms talks, the State Department said, ''cannot be insulated from other events.''
