PRESS GROUP ASSAILS SOUTH AFRICA

Date: 19 May 1983

Reuters

The annual general assembly of the International Press Institute approved resolutions today that condemn ''continued harassment and persecution'' of the press in South Africa and express concern about the press situation in some Latin American countries. One resolution, passed by more than 300 delegates from about 40 countries, appealed to Prime Minister P.W. Botha of South Africa ''to accept press freedom as a prerequisite for a country that regards itself as part of the democratic world.'' The delegates, representing the press, broadcasting and other news outlets, said continued actions by the South African Government against freedom of thought and expression could lead only to further isolation of the country.

BOY'S RETURN ADDS TWIST TO TV CASE

The recovery of a child who the police say was abducted by his father three and a half years ago has added an element of irony to a nationally publicized case that cast journalistic principles against the mother's search for her son. Last Friday the mother, Willow Lynne Cramlet, won a $5.9 million verdict against Phil Donahue, the television talk show host, and his production company, Multimedia Program Productions Inc. of Cincinnati. Miss Cramlet sued Multimedia because Mr. Donahue did not summon the police when the father, Wayne R. Anderson, appeared on his segment of the NBC ''Today'' show in 1980 to talk about his reasons for abducting his son, Eland, who was then 3 years old. Mr. Anderson was arrested Wednesday in Tulsa, Okla., and Eland was returned to his mother after someone in Tulsa saw a news report about her case and recognized the child as being in a local elementary school.

With deliberate public toughness in the last two days, President Reagan has signaled that he will give no further ground for the sake of compromise on the 1984 budget and that he is ready to use his veto to battle Congress on individual tax and appropriations bills later this year. Early this week the President and his political advisers concluded that neither the Senate nor the whole Congress was likely to adopt an acceptable budget resolution and that having no budget resolution was preferable to further concessions, according to White House officials. These officials concede that Mr. Reagan's toughness put him at odds, at least temporarily, with top Senate Republicans such as the majority leader, Howard H. Baker Jr., and the Budget Committee chairman, Pete V. Domenici, who are committed to producing a Senate budget resolution. It Produced One More Try In the short run, his toughness put pressure on the Senate Budget Committee to make one more try with a budget resolution close to one that previously had Mr. Reagan's backing. But the White House is so uncertain whether more concessions will be demanded on the Senate floor that officials refuse to say Mr. Reagan would accept this measure. Mr. Reagan's own view, they say, is that further compromise would erode his philosophical position.

International One of the biggest protests in Warsaw since martial law was imposed 17 months ago occurred as about 20,000 Poles attended the funeral and marched for nearly two hours to the burial of a 19-year-old youth who died after being detained by the police.

A PATIENT, LOW-KEY AUTO UNION LEADER

Date: 19 May 1983

Special to the New York Times

The ascent of Owen Bieber to the presidency of the United Automobile Workers is a good example of how it is possible to win while playing by the rules. Last year the union leadership imposed a moratorium on campaigning to succeed Douglas A. Fraser as president, to keep union politics from interfering with difficult negotiations at the Big Three auto companies. Naturally, some candidates used the period to attempt quietly to line up support on the union's 26-member Executive Board. One who conspicuously did not was Mr. Bieber, and his restraint evidently paid off. When the board finished voting last November, it was the big, quiet man from North Dorr, Mich., who had been nominated to occupy the office Walter P. Reuther used as a national pulpit for 24 years, from 1946 to 1970. He was elected by the convention today.
