ON WHOSE SIDE?
Date: 23 December 1983
By Tom Wicker

When Secretary of State Shultz recently observed that American reporters were not ''on our side'' but seemed ''always against us,'' the White House press secretary, Larry Speakes, told reporters: ''I do not think that reflects the attitude of the President.'' Larry, you should have known better. Mr. Reagan, at his latest news conference, not only agreed with Mr. Shultz; he displayed in his usual amiable manner his animosity toward the American press as well as a profound lack of understanding of its function. It's commonplace, nowadays, to say that that only reflects the attitude of the American public. Mr. Reagan, however, is President of the United States. He doesn't have to like reporters any more than the public does; but if he doesn't understand a free press operating in a free society under a Constitution he's sworn to uphold, his high office demands that he learn.
MILITARY TIES WITH CHINA

For the last five years, senior American officials have intermittently explored prospects for a military relationship between the United States and China. The Reagan Administration seems to have concluded that the opportunities are limited and that we should not seek too much. This judgment is almost certainly sound. It is no secret that Peking would like to modernize its armed forces. China has a 1950's arsenal, and, although it has been window shopping for new weapons for a decade, it has bought virtually nothing. Antitank and antiaircraft weapons would almost certainly bolster China's border defense and the United States has offered TOW (wire-guided antitank missiles) and Hawk missiles. The Chinese neither accepted nor declined the offer but asked instead about the next generation of TOW's and for the transfer of the technology to produce them. The United States is not inclined to provide either.

The House subcommittee that investigated the bombing of the Marine compound in Beirut issued the full text of its report today. It disputed several key explanations that Gen. Paul X. Kelley, the Marine Corps Commandant, offered in Congressional testimony last month. A Marine spokesman said today that General Kelley had just received the report, issued by the House Armed Services Committee's Investigations subcommittee, and would have no further comment until he had reviewed it. On Tuesday the Marine Corps issued a statement saying ''all the information provided to Congress by the Marines has been the very best information available at the time it was provided.'' Speed of Truck at Issue The subcommittee's report said the Mercedes truck used in the attack Oct. 23, which killed 241 American servicemen, was moving at an average speed of only 30 miles an hour. General Kelley said in his testimony to the Armed Services Committee Nov. 1 and 2 that it was traveling at 50 or 60 miles an hour. That, he said at the time, was why sentries were unable to load their rifles and shoot the driver.
ONETIME NAVY AIDE DENIES HE FAVORED A FORMER EMPLOYER

George A. Sawyer, former Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Shipbuilding and Logistics, said today that while he was in the Government he had removed himself from all contract decisions affecting his former employer, John J. McMullen Associates. Mr. Sawyer said in an interview that he had gone out of his way to avoid the perception of a conflict of interests by telling his deputy to handle matters ''where I had knowledge that McMullen Associates was directly involved or they would be directly affected.'' Mr. Sawyer said that he did not know whether his instructions to his deputy were in writing or given orally but that he also told Navy Secretary John F. Lehman Jr. that he would disqualify himself. The usual practice in the Government is for officials to delegate responsibility to their deputies on matters on which they wish to disqualify themselves. Often, this action is in writing and is widely circulated.

WHERE'S GOOD NEWS

Whatever happens to the good news? Isn't there any seasonal cheer to be found thinking back over a year of dismal headlines about violence, death and disaster? As a matter of fact, there is. It comes mostly from things that didn't happen. They seldom make headlines, but mean the world is still bumbling along in its way with chances of coming out right.
