GROMYKO NEWS CONFERENCE: A 'VIRTUOSO PERFORMANCE'
Date: 04 April 1983
By Serge Schmemann, Special To the New York Times

Though the headlines today focused on Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko's rejection of President Reagan's latest arms proposal, those here who watch the Kremlin were at least as intrigued by the fact that he had chosen to announce the rejection at a wide-open news conference. Such public confrontations with foreigners are exceedingly rare by Politburo members. Even Mr. Gromyko, who has faced the Western press fairly frequently when abroad, has done so at home only on rare occasions. The last time was in June 1979, after President Carter and Leonid I. Brezhnev signed the second strategic arms limitation treaty in Vienna, when Mr. Gromyko warned that if the pact went unratified the arms limitation process would fizzle. The treaty was not approved by the United States Senate.

BRIEFING
Date: 05 April 1983
By Phil Gailey and Warren Weaver Jr

Eyes on Speakes It was in early February when John S. Herrington, an Assistant Secretary of the Navy and a Reagan loyalist, arrived at the White House with a mandate that made him an unsettling presence in parts of the West Wing: At the request of James A. Baker 3d, the President's chief of staff, he was to spend two months studying some of the most sensitive offices and making recommendations for improving the ways the White House communicates with the general public, as well as various political and special interest groups. One of the operations to come under his scrutiny was the White House press office run by Larry Speakes. Mr. Herrington has been showing up at some of Mr. Speakes's daily briefings, observing from a corner the sometimes heated exchanges between reporters and the President's spokesman over hints of scandal at the Environmental Protection Agency and other places in the Administration. Mr. Herrington, who is to stay on as White House personnel director, is said to have come away from these briefings with considerable sympathy for Mr. Speakes. He has reportedly concluded that Mr. Speakes could be a more effective spokesman for the President if he were given greater access to Mr. Reagan and his inner circle of advisers.

News Analysis

Edward I. Koch made it one of his goals when he was running for office five years ago, and it has been a goal of his ever since: gaining control of the city's public school system. If the Mayor's candidate for Schools Chancellor, Deputy Mayor Robert F. Wagner Jr., is chosen, it will emphasize what has been clear to educators for some time but may not yet be fully understood even by Mr. Koch: He already has a good deal of that control. ''The Mayor has another mayoral agency, that's all it is,'' said Marilyn Gittell, professor of political science at the Graduate Center of City University. ''It's no different, really, than any other mayoral agency. He controls it.''

MEN IN THE NEWS: PAUL J. WEITZ
Date: 05 April 1983
Paul Weitz, a retired Navy officer, is making his second journey into space as commander of the space shuttle Challenger on its maiden flight. But the current flight is quite different from the one he made nearly 10 years ago, when he spent almost a month in space in the first manned Skylab mission, helping to set what was then a world's record for time in space by spending 672 hours aboard the earthorbiting laboratory. The 50-year-old astronaut fondly recalls his Skylab experience and says that in 28 days he never got tired of looking at the Earth. ''Nearly all my time was spent at the window,'' he said. Before joining the space program, Mr. Weitz went through Navy flight training and received his wings in 1956. Two years earlier, he was commissioned as an ensign through the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps program at Pennsylvania State University while he was earning a bachelor of science degree in aeronautical engineering.

International The Soviet leadership's rejection of President Reagan's interim proposal for limiting medium-range nuclear missiles is not likely to be its last word on the issue, according to Western European governments. Senior North Atlantic Treaty Organization officials said in Brussels Saturday that Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko's rejection of the new proposals disappointing, but not surprising. Meanwhile, organizers said about 200,000 Western Europeans took part in demonstrations over the weekend protesting the possible stationing of the Uinited States missiles in Europe next fall. (Page A1, Column 6.) Anti-Americanism of young people in Europe has troublesome implications, Government officials said, and to counteract it the Reagan Administration is planning a broad strategy aimed at a new generation of young European leaders. The goal is to re-establish the close bonds between leaders on both sides of the Atlantic after World War II. (A1:5.)
