A private study released last week charged that, in effect, New York City officials had misplaced priorities. At a time when the city should have directed funds to programs for poor children to compensate for Federal budget cuts, the report said, it decided instead to increase allocations to such agencies as the Department of Cultural Affairs. The report highlighted again the longstanding debate over how the city's complex pattern of resources and services should be distributed fairly to its diverse constituents. It suggests an inevitable and fragile balancing act: The city must offer features that attract middle-class taxpayers, without whom services deteriorate, and at the same time guard the interests of the poor.

A MESSENGER FOR THE SAUDI KING

Date: 26 September 1983

By William E. Farrell

Bandar ibn Sultan ibn Abdel Aziz, the Saudi Arabian Prince who helped bring about today's cease-fire in Lebanon, is regarded here as the epitome of a new breed of Saudi diplomat - outgoing, sociable and articulate. The 34-year-old Prince, who has been named as the new Saudi Ambassador to the United States, is viewed as operating in a way that is the antithesis of an earlier style of Saudi diplomacy that emphasized caution and a desire to avoid public scrutiny while quietly negotiating behind the scenes. Prince Bandar, who has made more than half a dozen trips to Damascus recently with the United States envoy, Robert C. McFarlane, to try to end to the Lebanese fighting, is highly regarded in diplomatic and legislative circles here. Assisted in Awacs Sale This reputation dates to his successful maneuvering in 198l in connection with the sale of five airborne warning and control system aircraft, known as Awacs, to Saudi Arabia by the United States. The multibillion-dollar sale was strenuously but unsuccessfully opposed by pro-Israeli groups.

TV: '60 MINUTES' AND NEWS ANCHORS

Date: 26 September 1983

''60MINUTES'' looked at network television anchors last night, examining, with some sense of urgency, Dan Rather's failure to jump ship and move to ABC, Tom Brokaw's ascendancy over Roger Mudd at NBC and whether or not anchors are paid too much money. Other issues arose, but ''60 Minutes''' gave them the back of its hand. Still, there were things to be learned. One was that Mr. Rather, the CBS anchor, was almost whisked away by Roone Arledge, the president of ABC News. Mr. Arledge, interviewed by Mike Wallace, said that Mr. Rather's agent had approached him and said that Mr. Rather was ''unhappy'' at CBS because he was uncertain about his future.

International A cease-fire in Lebanon was announced by the Governments of Syria and Lebanon. They accepted a Saudi Arabian-sponsored accord to end the four weeks of fighting in and around Beirut that is intended to lead to a Lebanese national reconcilation conference. A major stipulation was that the cease-fire was to be supervised by designated neutral observers. (Page A1, Column 6.) The cease-fire was only ''a first step,'' the United States said, toward the more difficult goals of bringing about a strong central government in Lebanon and the withdrawal of all Israeli, Syrian and Palestinian forces. Secretary of State George P. Shultz said a strong central government in Lebanon based on national reconciliation is one of the aims of President Reagan and President Amin Gemayel of Lebanon. (A1:5.)

Levi Strauss Inc., the nation's largest manufacturer of jeans and other casual wear, has a continuing and sticky problem with its retailers. In its drive to reverse sagging earnings and sales in 1981 and 1982, the giant jeans manufacturer turned away from its smaller outlets and chains. For the first time, about a year ago, it allowed Sears, Roebuck & Company and J. C. Penney, two of the nation's largest retailers, to sell Levi's vast line of jeans, slacks and sportswear. ''While it has probably been a courageous decision on our part to sell to Sears and Penney's, it has created a continuing problem insofar as our traditional customers are concerned,'' said Peter L. Thigpen, president of Levi Strauss U.S.A. ''It's the small- and middle-sized retailer which have been taking the brunt of it, because now there is so much more of our product out there.''
