An agreement made by NBC News to keep secret the whereabouts of a terrorist suspect in exchange for an interview has stirred a debate within the press and Government over the propriety of the arrangement. A State Department official, Robert B. Oakley, said yesterday that the deal made NBC an accomplice to terrorism. On Monday night, the ''NBC Nightly News'' broadcast a three-and-a-half-minute interview with Mohammed Abbas, who is under indictment in the United States as the mastermind of a hijacking in which Leon Klinghoffer, an American, was killed last October. He is also being sought by Italian authorities.

JUSTICE AGENCY SAID TO RESIST C.I.A. CALL TO PROSECUTE NEWS GROUPS

The Justice Department is resisting the Central Intelligence Agency's call for prosecution of news organizations that have published information classified as secret, Reagan Administration officials said today. The Director of Central Intelligence, William J. Casey, said today that he met with Justice Department officials Friday ''to make it clear that I believed that there had been a violation of the law'' by several news organizations in reporting on the recent military confrontations with Libya. At the same meeting, the Administration officials said, Mr. Casey unsuccessfully sought a Justice Department commitment to prosecute The Washington Post if that newspaper published information it had obtained about the National Security Agency. They said Mr. Casey had also explored the idea of asking the courts to forbid news organizations to publish or broadcast highly classified information as future cases arise.

AS 'WHEEL' GOES, SO GO TV PROFITS AND CAREERS

It is a force so powerful that it can ruin Dan Rather in Cleveland and make him a hero in New York on the same day. It can make or break careers, dash or confirm the cleverest programming strategy. This force is called, aptly enough, ''The Wheel of Fortune.'' It's a game show featuring a big wheel, a former weatherman as host and a comely hostess. And it has become by far the most popular syndicated program on television, watched by some 40 million people every day.

Congress; Power: More Than Just a Pretty Face
Date: 07 May 1986

Anarchy reigns in Congress, according to the conventional wisdom, in part because the television networks are all too eager to provide a soapbox for any junior member with a message. Howard H. Baker Jr., in his waning months as Senate Republican leader in 1984, lamented: ''If you don't let them do anything on the floor, they do it on the steps, and somehow there is always a TV camera out there, and there is always a reporter that will listen.'' Numerous political scientists agree with the diagnosis that news coverage has made Congress a more decentralized and less disciplined place than it used to be. But the conventional wisdom is wrong, at least in the Senate, according to Stephen Hess, a longtime observer of the Washington press corps who has tracked the coverage of every senator by the three networks and by five major newspapers for one year. His conclusion: Instead of becoming more diffuse, news coverage of the Senate focuses increasingly on a relative handful of recognized leaders. Those senators who are merely ''young, attractive and blow-dried,'' in the words of Mr. Hess, are unable to parlay those qualities into national exposure and are, for the most part, being ignored.

The Director of Central Intelligence, William J. Casey, met last week with a senior Justice Department official to discuss the possibility of prosecuting news organizations for their use of classified information, Federal sources said today. One source said that Mr. Casey also conferred with editors of The Washington Post the same day and warned the newspaper that it could face prosecution if it published an article containing information from secret documents involving a former communications specialist at the National Security Agency who is awaiting trial on espionage charges. According to the source, Mr. Casey also warned that he might seek criminal action against Time and Newsweek magazines and The Washington Times. Kathy Pherson, a spokesman for the Central Intelligence Agency, said the agency would have no comment.

MOSCOW NEWS SESSION: BRIEF AND NOT TO POINT
Date: 07 May 1986

The Soviet Union's recent inclination for holding Western-style news conferences and its traditional desire to control information collided today at a briefing on the Chernobyl nuclear accident. The briefing hall at the Foreign Ministry press center was jammed with hundreds of reporters, dozens of Western diplomats, including several ambassadors, and more than a dozen television cameras. A panel of senior officials and nuclear experts, including the head of a Government commission set up to investigate the accident, seemed poised to answer questions that have accumulated in the 10 days since an explosion ripped off the roof of the nuclear power plant in the Ukraine, spewing radioactive material into the atmosphere.
