AssassinationSets Off MoreBeirut TensionAn assassination in Beirut last week reminded all the players in the Lebanese drama of the tenuousness of the cease-fire that had calmed the factional fighting since Sept. 26. Visits to Washington by Lebanese President Amin Gemayel and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir stressed the ''genuine sense of urgency'' about the situation and the need for political solutions. An unknown gunman entered the West Beirut home of a prominent Druse, Sheik Halim Takieddin, head of the Supreme Druse Religious Court, and murdered him. Druse leader Walid Jumblat, who spends most of his time in Damascus since he narrowly escaped assassination a year ago, vowed vengeance and Beirut, under dusk-to-dawn curfew, tensed for more fighting. The cease- fire had begun to break down before the assassination as Druse and Lebanese Army artillery traded rounds and the airport once again had to be closed. Another member of the French peacekeeping force - the 77th - died, the victim of an ambush that appeared also to be an act of revenge, this time for the French shelling Nov. 17 of Moslem Shiite positions. An Israeli soldier died and four were wounded in an ambush in the southern Lebanese town of Nabatiyeh, and Israeli planes retaliated against Syrian-backed Moslem groups in the Shuf. The Israeli command claimed ''accurate hits'' on the bases of ''several terrorist organizations.'' French jets were also in the air, locating artillery batteries threatening French positions.

Spacelab GetsUp to Business After keeping fingers crossed and pocketbooks open for a decade, European nations finally saw their $1 billion Spacelab carried into orbit last week by the shuttle Columbia. The bus-sized cannister, chockablock with experiments, sent a torrent of data back to earth. ''Columbia is America's dream - if that dream doesn't work, ours won't either,'' the director of Spacelab's prime contractor in West Germany said in 1981. At week's end, the mission had developed a few kinks - the film jammed in a special mapping camera and an electron gun failed - but things were still going well enough to help heal some of the diplomatic wounds caused by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's long struggle with shuttle development. West Germans picked up more than half of Spacelab's cost and also placed a Stuttgart physicist on board this premier flight.

Unemployment plunged again in November, confounding all the experts who said recent rapid improvement in the jobless rate was about to end. There's no doubt now that the recovery is strong and widespread. But that's still no guarantee the economy is back to steady, sustainable growth.

New Jersey nearly doubled its bald eagle population last April - with help from humans. The state was down to two mature eagles and a fledgling, and inspection of two eggs in a nest showed that the eggshells were too thin to risk natural incubation.

MAJOR NEWS IN SUMMARY Reagan BreaksString on Aid
Date: 04 December 1983
For some time, President Reagan has been rankled by his semiannual duty to certify progress on human rights and land reform in El Salvador as a condition for continuing military aid. Last week, he got rid of the obligation by killing a bill extending the certification requirement. The President's action, in a pocket veto, might prove embarrassing to Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering and American- supported moderates in El Salvador. With White House approval, Mr. Pickering had publicly condemned the recent surge of killings by right- wing death squads, warning the Salvadoran Government on Nov. 25 that by failing to crack down, it ''runs an extremely serious risk'' of causing a cutoff of American aid. Four days later, the Administration announced it was denying an entry visa to Roberto d'Aubuisson, the president of the Salvadoran Constituent Assembly, who has been linked to right- wing terrorism. But the subsequent veto of the certification requirement sends a different signal; officials in Washington and Salvadoran politicians from moderate parties said it could be interpreted in El Salvador as tacit White House approval for right-wing terrorism, which the Administration at the same time continued to condemn. Deputy Secretary of State Kenneth W. Dam told a Miami conference on trade and investment in the Caribbean that right-wing terrorists in El Salvador and Guatemala were largely responsable for Marxist successes in the Caribbean region.

The successes of Marxism in the Caribbean region are largely a result of right-wing terrorists in El Salvador and Guatemala, Deputy Secretary of State Kenneth W. Dam said. In a speech in Miami at a conference on trade, investment and development in the Caribbean basin, Mr. Dam said ''Somoza's dictatorship in Nicaragua and the pre-1979 'Mongoose Gang' in Grenada helped pave the way for the Marxist-Leninists and their violence.'' (Page 1, Column 1.) The U.S. and Lebanon have agreed to establish joint economic and military committees to provide ''more structure and coherence'' to their efforts to unify Lebanon, and bring about the withdrawal of all foreign forces, Secretary of State George P. Shultz said. Mr. Shultz made the remarks after completing talks with President Amin Gemayel of Lebanon. (4:4.)

Israel bombed guerrilla bases in Syrian-controlled mountains east of Beirut. Its fighter-bombers struck soon after an Israeli soldier was killed in a guerrilla ambush in southern Lebanon. The bombing was in retaliation for a ''long array'' of attacks on Israeli troops in southern Lebanon, the Israeli military command said. (Page 1, Column 6.)
