A Pentagon spokesman said yesterday that a majority of the news organizations were providing information that might be useful to the hijackers of the Trans World Airlines plane. He said the news organizations were doing this by reporting the movements of American military units and speculating on military and diplomatic moves the United States might make. ''For the price of a 25-cent newspaper or a 19-inch television, a group of hijackers who only represent the back pew of some mosque have a very elaborate intelligence network,'' said Michael I. Burch, the spokesman. He said reports by ABC News and NBC News regarding deployment of an antiterrorist commando group known as the Delta Force were examples of damaging information.

For a few days, Kazuo Nagano was the most closely watched man in Japan. Newspaper reporters and television crews dogged his trail, even camping outside his apartment in Osaka in the hope of getting an interview or at least a picture. News gatherers often do that sort of thing in the United States as well. The difference is that when American newspapers and networks want to follow someone they dispatch teams of reporters. In Japan they send out platoons. As the 32-year-old Mr. Nagano discovered, the numbers can be overwhelming.

President Reagan admits that he pounded a few walls in frustration over the Beirut hostage crisis. It is important to understand that sometimes national frustration has to be endured for the sake of lives, as the hostages themselves are having to endure fury in silence.

Special to the New York Times
Sharp exchanges between reporters and Government spokesmen are nothing new. But the exchanges between the White House press corps and Larry Speakes, President Reagan's spokesman, have been notably sharp, even acidic and personal at times of national or international tension.

Following is an excerpt from an official White House transcript: Q. But will we still be in the position that we are in now, of somewhat of a crisis position with 13 Americans still being - or will we consider the crisis somewhat resolved, allowing Israel to release their prisoners?
