News executives of the three major television networks today strongly opposed any attempt by Congress to limit their right to project election winners before all polls in the country have closed. The heads of ABC News, CBS News and NBC News agreed that there was no strong evidence that projections of Presidential election winners, based on returns from the eastern half of the nation, affected the outcome of Congressional and local elections or reduced voter turnout in the West.

Date: 11 June 1981

Special to the New York Times

New York State permits news agencies to use cameras and recording equipment in criminal courts above the trial level with the approval of the particular court, while Connecticut bans such equipment altogether.

U.N. SAYS ITS AGENCIES SUBSIDIZE THE PRESS

The United Nations said today, despite earlier denials, that at least eight of its agencies had contributed to subsidies for foreign newspapers that published articles reflecting United Nations views on economic aid. The agencies, according to confidential United Nations documents, have given $60,000 in cash and services to the project, a fraction of the $1.25 million donated by a Japanese businessman, Ryoichi Sasakawa. Yasushi Akashi, the United Nations Under Secretary General for Public Information, said, ''I have to admit I did not know of these small contributions'' until he was asked about them. In press briefings, published letters and interviews, Mr. Akashi had asserted that all the funds had come from the Japanese donor. Today he said, ''I have to defer to the facts.''

On a slate-gray New Year's morning in 1978, Edward Irving Koch took the oath of office as New York's 105th Mayor and embarked on what he called in his inaugural address ''the important work of saving the city.'' Whether the city has indeed been saved in the last three and a half years is open to a debate that is likely to be sharpened by Mr. Koch's formal declaration yesterday that he is running for reelection. Less arguable, even his critics acknowledge, is that by dint of personality, Mr. Koch rescued the mayoralty from the partial eclipse that had descended upon it during the fiscal crisis of the mid-1970's. During much of Abraham D. Beame's years at City Hall, crucial decisions often were made by outside monitors who were not accountable to voters or their elected representatives. Mr. Koch returned the mayoralty to center stage. Lean on Promises But the theater had changed from the days of John V. Lindsay, another Mayor of style and authority, who sought to expand government's involvement in the lives of its people. Instead, until now, Mr. Koch has practiced the ''politics of less,'' warning New Yorkers not to expect too much because he could not guarantee that life in the city would get better.

International Israel defended its bombing of an Iraqi nuclear reactor, with Prime Minister Menachem Begin saying that ''Israel will use all of the possibilities at its disposal'' to halt other attempts by its enemies to make weapons of mass destruction. ''There won't be another holocaust in history,'' he said at a news conference. ''Never again, never again.'' (Page A1, Column 6.) The White House is working to decide what to do about Israel if it finds and reports to Congress within 48 hours that the Israelis violated their aid agreement by using American-made warplanes in its attack on Sunday against Iraq's nuclear reactor. An arms embargo, one of the available options, could threaten Israel's security. But to do nothing might cause the Administration to lose credibility with the Arabs, a senior official said.

International ''A substantial violation'' by Israel of its arms agreements with the United States may have been committed when Israel bombed an Iraqi nuclear reactor, Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig said in a letter to key leaders in the Senate and House on behalf of the President. Mr. Haig said the delivery of four F-16 fighter-bombers to the Israelis was being held up pending a review. (Page A1, Column 6.) Abolhassan Bani-Sadr was dismissed as commander in chief of Iran's armed forces by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. The action appeared to suggest that Mr. Bani-Sadr's removal from the Presidency might also be near after a day in which he suffered several other blows in his fight to remain in office. (A1:6.)
