International A car bomb exploded in a crowded restaurant in the South African port city of Durban, killing at least two white women and wounding 15 other people. The explosion seemed certain to be seen as a response to the Government's imposition three days ago of a nationwide state of emergency, designed to silence dissent before Monday's 10th anniversary of uprisings in Soweto.

International The first Botha-Tutu meeting in six years took place the day after South Africa's most severe emergency decree took effect. Bishop Desmond M. Tutu criticized the decree after emerging from the 90-minute meeting with President P. W. Botha. The autorities reported that eight people were killed overnight, seven of them in what was termed ''black-on-black violence.'' [ Page 1, Column 6. ] President Reagan urged restraint by both the white South African Government and its black opposition. Mr. Reagan said through a spokesman that he had sent a personal message to President P. W. Botha, calling for ''massive restraint'' and criticizing Pretoria's declaration of a national state of emergency. [ 1:4-5. ]

ABC, after being roundly criticized for claiming exclusive television rights to key portions of the Liberty Weekend ceremonies, has agreed to allow coverage of several more minutes of the celebration that CBS, NBC and the Cable News Network had insisted were national news events legitimately open to all. Lawyers for ABC concluded negotiations with attorneys from the other networks yesterday after reaching preliminary agreement Thursday. According to an ABC official, ''any threats of a lawsuit have been dropped.''

George De'Ath, a 34-year-old South African cameraman, died in a hospital in Cape Town today of head wounds inflicted while he was covering a fight between black factions earlier in the week. Mr. De'Ath, a freelancer working for Independent Television News of Britain, was the first journalist to be slain in the 21 months of protest and violence in South Africa that has claimed almost 1,650 lives. The cameraman had been in a coma since he was admitted to Cape Town's Groote Schuur Hospital last Tuesday. Mr. De'Ath and a soundman, Andile Fosi, were attacked while covering fighting near the Crossroads squatter camp outside Cape Town. The camerman had been slashed over the head with machetes.

South Africa's newest emergency decree, covering the entire country, offers the authorities far greater powers of censorship than ever before, lawyers said today, making it an offense to publish a wide range of utterances deemed ''subversive.'' The decree also forbids television, radio and photographic coverage of violent protest or official measures to curb it. The authorities seem determined today to underscore their readiness to act against foreign journalists perceived as hostile. Wim de Vos, a Dutch national working for CBS News as a cameraman, was ordered expelled from the country for an unspecified offense before the emergency decree, while the authorities seized copies of two anti-Government newspapers, The Sowetan and The Weekly Mail.

Questions are based on news reports in The Times this week. Answers appear on page 14. 1. Today, another attempt is scheduled to be made to maneuver ''The Goddess of Liberty Enlightening the World,'' onto its pedestal atop a state Capitol. What Capitol is it, and how does this Miss Liberty differ from the Statue of Liberty? 2. Law-enforcement officials in the Nixon Administration once proposed the assassination of a foreign official who has since become widely regarded as the politically dominant force in his country. Who is he and why was his assassination recommended? 3. In Boston, which has produced Paul Revere, John Adams and John F. Kennedy, there is only one man who has been deified by a statue erected in his lifetime. Who is he and why was he honored? 4. Advocates of abortion rights applauded the Supreme Court's reaffirmation of its landmark 1973 decision establishing a constitutional right to abortion, but there was nervousness in their satisfaction. What was the reason? 5. ''He's not going to be Rambo and he's not going to be a yuppie,'' said a business executive about a comic book character who will be out of circulation briefly, and then emerge as a ''modern kind of guy who has a Nautilus machine in his apartment.'' Identify the character. 6. For generations they have been fixtures of the national landscape -part treasure troves, part social centers, part hunting grounds - but now their numbers are declining.

According to a Senate Intelligence Committee report, the assassination of Gen.

AFTER five months of revelations, charges and denials, the Federal prosecutors and the defendants in New York City's municipal corruption scandal are suddenly turning shy. Having found reporters not only a rapt but also sometimes a useful audience as the investigations unfolded, both sides have now decided - with jury selection scheduled to begin sometime next month - to try to minimize the effects of past and future pretrial publicity in the interests of a fair trial. In an unusual move, the United States Attorney in Manhattan, Rudolph W. Giuliani, and the six defendants in his corruption case have agreed - with the reluctant consent of Federal Judge Whitman Knapp - to move the trial to another location, where a jury might be less likely to be tainted by the publicity that attended the investigations and indictments. Last week officials disclosed that the city of choice was Hartford, and a newly unsealed court transcript of the closed-door hearing at which the decision was made reveals to what lengths the participants were willing to go to avoid telling the press even that much.

It is the stuff of soap operas, but it raises difficult moral questions that affect the most helpless of patients: newborns. The issues all center on what factors determine who gets the few hearts available for transplant. The young, unwed parents beg Loma Linda University Medical Center to perform a heart transplant on their desperately ill son. The hospital turns them down, apparently because they are not married. Then it reconsiders, but only after the parents agree to sign over custody of their 3-week-old infant to his paternal grandparents. They fly to New York to make a public plea for a heart on the Phil Donahue talk show. Midway in the program last Tuesday, a telephone call comes from Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids, Mich. ''We are donating a heart to the baby in Loma Linda, Calif.,'' says Gera Witte, a spokesman for the hospital.

Earlier this year Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi of Libya tried to convince the West that he was not a terrorist. He invited five female correspondents to meet his wife, Safiya, and their seven children inside a Bedouin tent permanently pitched inside the heavily fortified Bab el-Azziziya military barracks in Tripoli. For more than two hours Colonel Qaddafi portrayed the role of devoted husband, loving father and beneficent leader of his country's 3.5 million people. He spoke about his personal life, his hopes and dreams, his desire for peace and his respect for the American people. ''They think I don't laugh or smile or tell jokes,'' Colonel Qaddafi said. ''They think I only hate.'' ''But you can see that the image Reagan has of me is not true,'' he said, stroking the hair of his only natural daughter, Aisha, age 8. ''I invite you to tell the world.''
