'LOUSY BUMS' JIBE AT POLES BY REAGAN GETS ON THE RECORD

Date: 11 October 1982

An off-the-cuff remark by President Reagan, calling the Polish military Government ''lousy bums,'' became a point of friction over the weekend between White House officials and broadcasters who aired it on nationwide television. Mr. Reagan, in his regular Saturday radio address, announced that he had canceled Poland's most-favored trade privileges in retaliation for Warsaw's banning of the Solidarity trade union. In a brief voice test for audio technicians, President Reagan referred to the Polish military Government as ''a bunch of no-good lousy bums.'' Minutes later, in the actual broadcast, he referred to the Warsaw rulers as ''a military dictatorship.''

ABOUT LONG ISLAND

IT is a Friday afternoon on the Long Island Expressway and I am driving west, which means that I can give a 40-mile-an-hour smirk to all the people who thought they'd get an early start on the weekend and wound up clogging the eastbound lanes. Driving at rush hour isn't so bad, if you pick the right direction. Or so I think, until I see all the taillights on the Midtown Tunnel overpass. It must be an accident, I think. An ambulance whines and weaves through the solid pack of cars, supporting that thesis. But when I finally get to the crest of the overpass, with the clutch slipping and the temperature gauge moving toward the red, I see no accident: just three solid lanes of all-but-stationary cars, trucks and buses, panting out a gentle haze of carbon monoxide. By now I am growling, gritting my teeth and grasping for an explanation. So I turn on the radio and hunt across the dial for a Shadow Traffic report.

King Hussein of Jordan and Yasir Arafat, the Palestinian guerrilla leader, began here on Saturday a round of negotiations in which the future of both President Reagan's Middle East peace plan and the Palestine Liberation Organization are at stake. The talks, which will probably continue until Wednesday, have a a single aim: to respond to the Reagan peace initiative. It appears that when the final communique of these negotiations is issued there will be little room for the usual obscure verbiage of Arab summit meetings. The communique is expected either to formalize a joint P.L.O.- Jordanian negotiating position that speaks directly to Mr. Reagan's offer - and hence opens the way for serious negotiations - or to report a failure, thus condemning the Reagan plan to the already crowded scrapheap of Mideast peace proposals. Many Jordanian officials and Western diplomats here believe that if Mr. Arafat does not seize this opportunity for bold new choices as well as compromises, then not only the Reagan plan but also the P.L.O. could lapse into obscurity. Although Mr. Arafat lost the military battle for Beirut, the Palestinian cause emerged from that debacle high on the foreign policy agenda of the United States. Officials here know it will not stay there forever.

A RETICENT INVESTIGATOR

Date: 10 October 1982

Special to the New York Times

When Yitzhak Kahan was chosen to be Chief Justice of Israel's Supreme Court this year, he initially turned the offer down. According to colleagues, the 69-year-old judge told Minister of Justice Moshe Nissim, ''Maybe you should appoint a younger judge.'' Justice Kahan is known as a man who shuns the limelight, and friends say he is likely to remain this way as he heads the judicial commission of inquiry into the Beirut massacre three weeks ago. ''I have never heard him talk about himself,'' said a former colleague from the Supreme Court, where Mr. Kahan has served for 12 years.

International Israeli troops will not leave Lebanon until the Beirut Government has signed a security agreement with Israel and all Israeli prisoners in Syrian and Palestinian hands have been returned, Israel announced. The Israeli Cabinet also demanded again that the Palestine Liberation Organization leave Lebanon first, before the mutual withdrawal of Syrian and Israeli troops begins. However, some Israeli officials said that was merely an opening argument. (Page A1, Column 6.) Solidarity called for resistance to a new law replacing the outlawed revolutionary organization with tame, Government-sanctioned unions. A letter smuggled out of Bialoleka Prison, signed by nine interned Solidarity leaders, said that joining the new unions would ''constitute an ignoble act of collaboration.'' Another message, signed by four fugitive Solidarity leaders, called for a four-hour strike on Nov. 10, the second anniversary of the union's registration by a Warsaw court. (A1:5.)

One of the few country's untouched by broadcast television a year ago was Fiji, and it had become a touchy issue in the Pacific island group. ''We came to the conclusion that the introduction of television is a very low priority,'' said Hugh Leonard, general manager of the Fiji Broadcasting Commission.

The once-mighty Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization was in shreds, its nationwide strike crushed, when Robert E. Poli, its president, resigned Dec. 31, 1981. By then, 11,500 Patco members had been dismissed by the Government, and the union, no longer a bargaining agent, was bankrupt.

THE NEW PRESIDENT TAKES A PRAGMATIC APPROACH

Date: 11 October 1982

Special to the New York Times

Judy Goldsmith, the former professor of English literature who was elected today to lead the National Organization for Women through a critical period in its history, describes herself as ''strongly pragmatic with a no-frills political and economic approach to contemporary issues.'' She turned back a challenge by four other candidates for the presidency, including a strong bid by Sonia Johnson. Mrs. Johnson was considered by some delegates to the three-day convention here to be more radical in her views and more charismatic in her style. Mrs. Goldsmith, whose ability to articulate complicated positions was not diminished by a lack of sleep (she had waited until dawn for the returns of Saturday night's voting), reflects her background in academia by an appealingly professorial manner. She received a bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin and a master's from the State University of New York at Buffalo and for 15 years taught English literature, first at the university in Buffalo and then at a division of the University of Wisconsin.
