WALTER CRONKITE and Burton Benjamin were close friends and colleagues for years, so it is only fitting that Mr. Cronkite receive the first Burton Benjamin Memorial Award, named for the executive producer of "The CBS Evening News." It is to be presented at a dinner of the Committee to Protect Journalists this evening at the Hotel Pierre. "Bud was one of the real leaders of the profession, a superb journalist and a man of enormous integrity," Mr. Cronkite said yesterday. "He had just accepted the executive directorship of this committee and had just attended his first meeting when he was stricken. It is meaningful but undeserved that I receive an award that carries his name." Mr. Benjamin died of a brain tumor in 1988. TOM BROKAW, PETER JENNINGS, DAN RATHER and BERNARD SHAW will present awards to seven journalists who have been imprisoned or threatened by governments seeking to silence them. Among them will be WANG JUNTAO and CHEN ZIMING, the editor and publisher, respectively, of Economics Weekly in China. They are serving 13-year prison sentences for their roles in the 1989 student movement in China. Both are said to be in solitary confinement and on hunger strikes to protest their treatment. "I don't think the public has the slightest concept of the dangers that journalists face," Mr. Cronkite said. "And I don't know why they should. We are the poorest of all professions at tooting our own horn and don't make much of the fact that journalists, especially in foreign situations, are in a life-threatening profession."

Two Members of Parliament called today for investigations into accusations made in a new book that the foreign editor of one of Britain's leading tabloid newspapers has been a spy for Israel. In his new book, "The Samson Option," the reporter Seymour M. Hersh asserts that Nicholas Davies, the 52-year-old foreign editor of the Daily Mirror, worked as an Israeli agent.

Hey, senators and representatives, you want to know what Americans think of you? Not very much, if you read the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll. What that poll suggests is that the people, their incalculable lack of information and passivity notwithstanding, are going to throw a lot of you -- Republicans and Democrats alike -- back into the free-market economy where you will find slightly unfamiliar standards for kiting checks, paying restaurant bills and sexual harassment. You, too, President Bush, may find the survey unsettling. It could be that the voters might like to anoint you as Secretary of State and choose someone else to be President.

Since the public pays for the telephone bills run up by their elected and appointed officials, are they entitled to learn specific details about their calls?? The New Jersey Supreme Court took up that question today with attorneys for the Passaic County Board of Freeholders and a newspaper chain that wants to examine the telephone records of the seven members of the board.

The double standard in the Middle East has become built into American diplomacy and journalism. It is so taken for granted that hardly anybody notices. It is time to notice, the most important of times. The Israeli-Arab talks supposed to start at the end of this month can be an important step in the Mideast. The credit goes to the persistence of President Bush and Secretary of State James Baker, the willingness of the Israeli Cabinet to take plain risks for peace, and the decision of some Palestinians not to let yet another opportunity pass them by.

As the Presidential campaign season begins in earnest, Americans are even more deeply troubled than they were earlier this year about the state of the nation in general and of the economy in particular, according to a New York Times/ CBS News Poll. The number of Americans who say that "things" in the country have "pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track" has increased from 31 percent who said so in January to 42 percent in March and to 60 percent in the latest poll. And a plurality of 44 percent says things in the country are generally going worse than they were five years ago; that is up from 31 percent who expressed the same view in March.

International A3-15 An American hostage was set free in Beirut by his pro-Iranian kidnappers, hours after Israel and its Lebanese allies freed 15 Arab prisoners, the U.N. reported. Jesse Turner, a 44-year-old professor, had spent nearly five years in captivity.

A14 Iraq's child mortality rate has grown as a result of the Persian Gulf war, civil strife and international sanctions, a new study by Western experts in Iraq concludes. Such an elevated mortality rate could mean tens of thousands of additional deaths. A6 Christians and Muslims in Cairo are engaged in a festering dispute in one slum. The police now guard the squalid streets of Imbaba after Coptic Christian churches were set afire, and a Muslim was shot by a Christian butcher. A12 U.N. says Iraq admits to research on atomic bombs A7 Vietnam will let refugees be returned against their will from Hong Kong under an agreement forged by the British Government involving 222 boat people. British officials hope to persuade Vietnam to take back tens of thousands of the refugees.

Brown Jr. will run for President in 1992, his third campaign for the Presidency.

It was as if they already knew the horrible answer to their question: There are no homes left, not a one, and it is nearly impossible to imagine that there ever were. A1 Oakland fire rates as California's worst A16 Private psychiatric hospitals, part of a fast-growing industry, are being investigated by health authorities who say there are many complaints about the treatment at the facilities. There is a fierce argument about the hospitals' care, rising costs and attempts to balance the needs of patients with the search for profits.

Mr. Bush ordered the Solicitor General to support increased state aid to black public colleges.
