''You hang around this business long enough and you begin to think that you have seen and heard everything twice. But this was the first time a President has called up while we were on the air,'' said Dan Rather, anchor of the ''CBS Evening News.'' Mr. Rather was referring to the telephone call he received Tuesday night from President Reagan, complaining that CBS News had incorrectly characterized as a reversal of policy his decision to gradually reduce arms sales to Taiwan.

The suit said the chairman of the First National Bank of Boston and officials of the National Association of Home Builders had received telephone calls from a woman representing herself as Sara Fritz, a White House correspondent for the weekly magazine. In a third instance, a man posing as a reporter for the magazine questioned a staff member of the Senate Select Committee on Ethics about two of its investigators, the complaint said.

BRIEFING
Date: 19 August 1982
By Phil Gailey and Warren Weaver Jr
Phil Gailey
What He Didn't Say S ome of the reporters who heard President Reagan's Monday night television address on the tax bill felt like saying, ''Now there he goes again.'' The President told his national audience to ignore ''a steady drumbeat of 'reports' on what we're supposed to be doing'' in the press, as well as a variety of statements attributed to various ''authoritative Government sources who prefer not to have their names used.'' What Mr. Reagan did not say was that most of those reports and statements had been fed to reporters by White House officials and Cabinet officers, presumably speaking with his approval but insisting on the cover of anonymity in return for the authoritative insights they were purporting to offer. When the President was opposing a major tax increase earlier this year, his aides explained his position in anonymous briefings, a frequently used method of putting out White House information. Then, having changed course and come out in favor of a tax increase, the President appeared to be trying Monday night to dispose of the inconsistency by questioning the accuracy of news articles that grew out of the earlier ''background'' briefings.

The Soviet Union has denounced an American magazine article that said the Soviet Union and its allies might have assisted the Turk who shot Pope John Paul II last year. The article, written by Claire Sterling and published in the September issue of Reader's Digest, said the shooting by the Turk, Mehmet Ali Agca, appeared to have been organized by Bulgarian intelligence agents on directions from the Soviet Union. The Moscow radio said, ''The absurdity and unfoundedness of this claim are obvious.''

NEW PRESS LAW STIRS CONCERN IN INDIA
Date: 19 August 1982
By William K. Stevens, Special To the New York Times
William Stevens
In what is viewed by its opponents as a serious threat to India's free press, the government of Bihar, the nation's second most populous state, has passed a law making it a criminal offense to publish, sell or possess any printed matter whose content is ''grossly indecent'' or ''scurrilous.'' Government officials, contending that it is within their right under the Indian Constitution to place ''reasonable restrictions'' on free expression, say that the law is intended to curb the irresponsibility of ''yellow'' journalists. These journalists, it is charged, engage in character assassination, foster social discord through untruth and damage the morale of government officials. But opponents of the measure, includngf members of the press and opposition politicians, say that the government of Bihar, whose leaders belong to the Congress Party of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, is merely trying to protect itself against exposure of corruption and mismanagement.

A TALE OF 2 LA PRENSAS
Date: 19 August 1982
To the Editor: The Reagan Administration has remained silent while the Panamanian National Guard throws out a President, closes the newspapers for a week, installs censors in each newspaper office and allows its troops and other goons to destroy the office of La Prensa, the Panamanian daily that has been exposing corruption in the National Guard and the Government. Such silence is in marked contrast to its loud protestations when the Sandinista Government shuts down La Prensa in Nicaragua.
