International Four key Filipino Communists were released by the new Government despite objections from the military. The four include the founder of the Philippine Communist Party, Jose Maria Sison. Mr. Sison said he was ready to support the ''positive aspects'' of the Government of President Corazon C. Aquino, but he declined to renounce the possibility of using armed force in a Communist revolution. [ Page A1, Column 6. ] The U.S. may submit to a court the issue of what to do with the Philippine currency and other possessions that were taken to Hawaii last week by Ferdinand E. Marcos and his associates, according to Reagan Adminstration officials.

RUSH TO A FILIPINO FREE PRESS REPLACING REVOLUTION FERVOR
Date: 05 March 1986

John Peter Zenger never mentioned a chicken farm as the alternative to the fourth estate, but that is how Luis D. Beltran, one of the premier newspaper columnists here, survived during the decade when he was banned from Filipino journalism. Now, while the rest of the nation descends from the euphoria of a revolution, Mr. Beltran is where he wants to be, ahead of his readers, settling into an artfully cranky groove in the pages of The Philippine Daily Inquirer. Only this morning, he was criticizing President Corazon C. Aquino as easily as he had rooted for her in her challenge to Ferdinand E. Marcos. The impishness of a free press is to be seen and believed in Manila these days. It is best visualized in the sidewalk hawkers, those ragamuffins and older entrepreneurs who scatter like roaches across the human flow, confronting pedestrians and walking against traffic as they wave and shout about their great handfuls of newspapers, inky with free flowing words, unfettered curiosity and bombast, at two pesos, or 10 cents, an issue.

President Reagan appealed again to Congress today to endorse his request for $100 million in aid to Nicaraguan rebels, saying it was needed so that the United States would not have to send American troops there. ''American troops have not been asked for and are not needed,'' Mr. Reagan said in a speech to an umbrella group of leading Jewish organizations. ''We must make sure they never are needed. We send money and material now so we'll never have to send our own American boys.''

Representative Les Aspin, Democrat of Wisconsin, speaking to the World Affairs Council on President Reagan's opposition to a mobile single warhead missile dubbed Midgetman, Feb. 12: Why this reluctance to embrace Midgetman with enthusiasm?

The director of the program for a shield against attacking missiles said today that he had asked permission to create a Government-financed intensive research group to provide ''squeaky clean'' advice on the design and operation of the space-based defense. The director, Lieut. Gen. James A. Abrahamson, who heads the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization, testified that he had recommended the creation of such an office to Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger as a means of obtaining advice that would be free of any commercial taint. He said he had received formal approval. Federally financed research organizations are common. A notable example is the Rand Corporation, which has conducted analytical studies for the Air Force for many years.
