The scene being played out this week at The Bulletin in Philadelphia has become increasingly familiar to journalists in recent years. It is a closing act that could be repeated soon in other major cities where the second-ranked newspapers, having lost readers and advertisers to rival papers and television, see the curtain lowering. Publishers and industry analysts say the newspaper business is healthy, particularly for the independent or chain-owned papers that have a local monopoly. Newspaper advertising revenues were at record levels last year despite the nation's economic problems.

Connecticut Housing; COMPLEX GETS ITS NEWS ON TV

WHENEVER Dorothy Spencer turns on the small television set in the kitchen of her condominium in Oronoque Village in Stratford nowadays, she invariably tunes in Channel 10 first, ''just to see what's been going on.'' Since the beginning of the month, Channel 10 has been supplying residents of the development with up-to-the-minute reports, news and events within their complex. Operated by the staff and volunteers at the development's management office, the aim, said Vincent Rotondo, executive manager at Oronoque Village, is to replace a weekly printed bulletin with a more efficient communications system. A sort of electronic backyard fence, the private television channel provides details of emergency services, such as snow-plowing schedules after a major storm, alerts residents to last-minute changes in the social calendar and reminds them of routine matters. Residents, for instance, have been urged by Channel 10 to pick up their 1982 parking stickers as well as the newest edition of the residents directory.

CITY OF TRADITIONS MOURNS BULLETIN, AN INSTITUTION

They still sold hoagies at the lunch counter at 15th and Arch Streets; pushcarts still peddled soft pretzels, and the old streetcars still rattled along Germantown Avenue, but for many in Philadelphia, the city would never again be quite the same. For this was the day The Bulletin closed. And though the passing of the 134-year-old newspaper had long been expected, there were many who said it seemed to cast a pall over their city. Journalists attended a wake in the paper's big gray home at 30th and Market Streets to mourn its passing and toast its past. In the broad newsroom, the wake had begun long before. At 2:48 P.M., its presses rumbled to a stop, a red light blinked off and a green light on to signal the end of a run that had rolled out 462,000 papers, about 57,000 more than normal sales, for an edition that quickly became a collectors' item.

COMMUNIST PAPERS: U.S. SHIFTS POLICY
Date: 31 January 1982
The Treasury Department, facing a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups, has withdrawn regulations that required American subscribers to journals from four Communist countries to have a Government license. Under the new policy, made public last week, Americans can order single subscriptions to journals from Cuba, Vietnam, North Korea and Cambodia. Last spring the Government began seizing Cuban journals, including Granma, the newspaper of the Cuban Communist Party, citing the Trading With the Enemy Act of 1917, which bars trade with certain countries in a national emergency. Goods that are exempt from the embargo cannot enter the country unless the importer has a license issued by the Treasury Department's Foreign Assets Control Office. The director, Dennis M. O'Connell, said last summer that the office was mainly concerned with financial transactions.

The Reagan Administration and the Federal Reserve Board are drifting into an election-year feud that, some analysts contend, could make it more difficult for the Fed to do its job. The consequence, in turn, could make it more difficult for the Administration to get what its wants - lower interest rates. The dispute might be intensified by the personalities involved: a strong-willed Treasury Secretary, Donald T. Regan, and a ''hang tough'' Fed chairman, Paul A. Volcker. Neither seems likely to back down. Already the Fed, according to top officials, believes it is being needled on a complex issue - monetary policy - that the Treasury Secretary does not understand very well.

Beyond the iron gate at the United Nations lies a real world where nations behave according to their interests. But inside the United Nations complex, peculiar things happen, especially to third world countries, says Jeane J. Kirkpatrick, the American delegate. There, the countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America tend to votein blocs that confound their national interests, according to Mrs. Kirkpatrick. ''The U.N. has become an arena in which countries are drawn into problems they might never have become involved in,'' she said Tuesday in a speech to the Foreign Policy Association.

Two events this week, at first blush unrelated and each surrounded by speculation, have converged in a way that could significantly alter New York politics. On Monday, Mayor Koch flew back home from a vacation in Spain nd ven as his baggage was being unloaded he began, for the first time, to drop hints about being interested in running for Governor. The next day, President Reagan announced his program for a ''new federalism.'' After listening to the State of the Union Message, more than a few New York officials were convinced that whatever the merits of the Reagan proposal, more money for the city was not among them. In fact, they said, an eventual decline in available money was likely.
