A largely unsuccessful effort by a Hartford television station to show portions of a figure-skating championship on its evening newscast has become an unusual test of competing claims of commercial rights and press freedoms. Lawyers expert in First Amendment and television-broadcasting questions say the case raises questions about the system of exclusivecoverage rights to sporting events that networks spent millions of dollars to develop. At the same time, the case emphasizes the extent to which many stations define ''news'' as the visually interesting rather than the socially significant, underlines the expanding role of the press conglomerates and raises anew the questions about technological changes that could make the notion of ''local stations'' obsolete. 'In Our Community' The issue arose out of the decision by WFSB-TV, the CBS-TV affiliate in Hartford, to try to show portions of the 1981 World Figure Skating Championships this month at the Hartford Civic Center. ABC-TV had paid a reported $165,000 for exclusive television rights and showed the finals to an audience of several million on its ''Wide World of Sports'' on Saturday and Sunday.

PRESS IN INDIA UPSET BY IMPORT DUTY ON NEWSPRINT
Date: 14 March 1981
Special to the New York Times
The newspaper industry in India is becoming nervous over a new 15 percent import duty on newsprint imposed by the Government recently. Indian newspapers depend heavily on foreign newsprint since the country is able to provide less than 20 percent of the newsprint it needs, and that is of poor quality. Many critics termed the levy, which was contained in the budget for the year beginning April 1, an ''assault on the freedom of the press.'' Nani A. Palkhivala, a lawyer, called it ''a tax on information and knowledge.''

DEFYING THE VICAR

Anthony Lewis
His self assurance ''is matched only by his iron will.'' He is forceful, swift, brilliant, determined, careful, consistent. When his future wife first saw him, she said ''he's like a Greek god.'' Is that Pravda writing about Leonid Brezhnev? No, it is Time Magazine on Alexander M. Haig Jr. The first weeks of every new Presidency tend to bring out the gushy strain in American journalism. We heard about Nixon's strategy for peace and Carter's balm for the American spirit. But the press's suspension of disbelief seems at record heights at the start of the Reagan Administration. And the most extravagant example so far is the recent Time cover story on Secretary of State Haig.

The Reagan Administration has succeeded in focusing world attention on El Salvador, but its monthlong campaign has also produced some negative side effects not to Washington's liking. Many key members of Congress and foreign governments that were only dimly aware of El Salvador's problems before are now openly concerned about the possibility of ''another Vietnam,'' even though the Administration insists such a comparison is unfounded. When Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. sent officials to Europe and Latin America last month to explain the Administration policy and ordered an information blitz on Congress and the press, his purpose was to expose what he said was Soviet-bloc support for the leftist insurgents in El Salvador and to gain sympathy for future United States countermoves. But as a senior Haig aide told reporters yesterday, Mr. Haig ''perhaps opened the jar and he didn't, perhaps, realize how many genies were in it.''

International Libya agreed to receive prisoners that Pakistan is releasing at the demand of three hijackers holding more than 100 hostages aboard a Pakistani plane in Damascus, Syria. A Pakistani diplomat said 49 prisoners were being assembled in Karachi, Pakistan, for a trip ''in the direction of Libya.'' He said his Government had no record of 6 of the 55 prisoners whose release was demanded by the hijackers. The feeling in Damascus was that the issue of the six prisoners could be crucial to the completion of the agreement to release the hostages. (Page 1, Column 1.)
