A hallmark of Attorney General William French Smith's tenure at the Justice Department has been his readiness to enforce the law according to the Reagan Administration's conservative philosophy, even when it conflicts with precedents laid down by the courts. Thus, for example, on issues ranging from civil rights to trusts, the Reagan-Smith Justice Department has refused to bring lawsuits to stop some activities that seem unlawful under the United States Supreme Court's interpretations of the Constitution and laws. It has also eschewed certain remedies that the courts have approved, in particular busing as a means of desegregating schools and racial quotas as a means of redressing job discrimination. Every Administration sees the law to some extent through the prism of its own political philosophy, and the Justice Department has traditionally exercised broad discretion as to which laws and judicial interpretations it will spend its time enforcing.

A Roman Catholic bishop with a Harvard degree, an activist record on civil rights and ecumenical expertise was named Archbishop of Boston yesterday by Pope John Paul II. Bishop Bernard F. Law, who is 52 years old, has headed the Diocese of Springfield- Cape Girardeau in Missouri for 10 years. He succeeds Humberto Cardinal Medeiros, who died Sept. 17, in one of the most prestigious ecclesiastical posts in the nation. ''While the archdiocese will be my primary responsibility,'' Bishop Law said at a news conference in Springfield after the Vatican's announcement, ''I look forward to working with leaders of other Christian communities, Jewish religious leaders and public officials of the Boston area.''

Date: 25 January 1984
Yuri V. Andropov responded to President Reagan's call for improved relations with the Soviet Union by saying that the Kremlin valued a dialogue with Washington but that it needed ''practical deeds'' from the American side to persuade it that Washington was serious. (Page A1, Column 6.) New initiatives on South-West Africa are planned by Washington, according to State Department officials. They said the United States would soon open an intensive diplomatic effort to seek a formula for ending South African control of South-West Africa along with a parallel withdrawal of Cuban troops from neighboring Angola.

CLOSE AND SHREWD ALLY OF THE PRESIDENT: EDWIN MEESE 3D
Date: 24 January 1984
By Francis X. Clines

In the evolutionary tides that buffet politicians between oblivion and adaptation at the White House, Edwin Meese 3d has exhibited the tortoise's knack for survival. Relying on a thick shell and a relentless, unspectacular pace, Mr. Meese perfected the art of tucking his head back from the close-range nips of Administration rivals. More than most other denizens there, he kept the path well worn to his source of survival, President Reagan himself. ''What's wrong with being affable?'' Mr. Meese once asked a colleague when he was getting tired of criticism about his genial preference for ''team play,'' loyalty to the President and his hearty ''No-Problems Ed'' denial of even some of the more obvious controversies at the White House.

Murdoch Takes Case to F.C.C. News International, headed by Rupert Murdoch, asked the Federal Communications Commission to order Warner Communications Inc. and Chris-Craft Industries to rescind an exchange of stock completed last week. It argued, as it has in other proceedings, that the exchange violated F.C.C. rules against dual ownership of television stations and cable TV in the same markets. Warner and Chris- Craft responded that they had avoided any conflict with F.C.C. rules when Warner shifted control of the cable properties to a subsidiary of the American Express Company, its partner in Warner Amex Cable.

Meanwhile, Chris-Craft increased its stake in Warner to approximately 20 percent by purchasing about 820,000 shares on the open market, according to Chris-Craft's chairman, Herbert J. Siegel.

REAGAN CALLED FIRM ON TROOP TALKS
Date: 24 January 1984

President Reagan has decided not to change the Western negotiating position on reducing troops in Central Europe, according to Administration officials. The Western position has been that agreement on data about troop levels on both sides must precede any troop withdrawals, and the officials said President Reagan had decided to keep to this position despite recent Soviet concessions on the issue of on-site inspection and despite pressure from West European allies. Since last summer, the officials said, Moscow has been developing a proposal for small Soviet and American troop withdrawals from Central Europe, to be verified by ''permanent'' stationing of inspectors on either side and by other on-site means. West Germany, in particular, has been urging a test of Moscow's offer. Britain has opposed this despite Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's recent calls for intensifying East-West contacts.

PUBLIC'S SUPPORT OF GLENN FADES
Date: 25 January 1984

President Reagan has opened the election year with strong public approval but Senator John Glenn of Ohio, once feared by the White House as potentially his most dangerous rival, has faded badly because of public doubts about his experience, a New York Times/CBS News Poll showed yesterday. Former Vice President Walter F. Mondale, far ahead as the choice of registered Democrats for their party's Presidential nomination, was rated nearly on a par with President Reagan on personal characteristics that voters normally consider important for the Presidency. But the President, helped by a surging economy, held a lead over Mr. Mondale. In 1,443 telephone interviews conducted nationwide from Jan. 14 to 21, The Times and CBS News found that more than half the public believes Mr. Glenn lacks the experience to be President and is uneasy about his ability to deal wisely with difficult foreign crises. The Ohio Democrat has fallen from a close second to Mr. Mondale in a September survey to a distant tie for second with the Rev. Jesse Jackson in the current sounding. This time, Mr. Glenn and Mr. Jackson were each the first choice of 14 percent of registered Democrats, far behind Mr. Mondale at 44 percent. Five other Democratic contenders had 4 percent or less.

The Inspector General of the West German armed forces announced today that he had called a meeting for Tuesday of the nation's senior commanders to discuss the removal of one of West Germany's most senior generals on the ground that he was a homosexual. The Inspector General, Wolfgang Altenburg, said that if the officer, Gen. G"unter Kiessling, was found to be innocent of the charges, ''he must be rehabilitated.'' The announcement came as Chancellor Helmut Kohl's Government appeared to be struggling to justify the removal of General Kiessling. Defense Minister Manfred W"orner said he hoped to meet personally with General Kiessling, whom he removed last month from his post as deputy to Gen. Bernard W. Rogers, the supreme commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
