A REAGAN PRESS OFFICIAL RESIGNS OVER GRENADA

The White House announced today that President Reagan's deputy press secretary for foreign affairs had resigned, citing damage to his credibility resulting from the Administration's handling of the Grenada invasion. The President's chief spokesman, Larry Speakes, denied that the Administration had a credibility problem, saying that in combat situations it was difficult to have the facts in hand in timely fashion. He said various earlier erroneous assertions - that the Grenada airport was tightly closed Monday to evacuation traffic, and that there were no civilian casualties in the invasion - were based on the best information available at the time. Mr. Speakes again referred most reporters' questions to the Pentagon, but acknowledged: ''I'm not sure what the Pentagon has. I just don't know their procedure on finding out what happened.''

Last April when Field Enterprises Inc. announced it was putting The Chicago Sun-Times up for sale, James Hoge, the publisher, said that only certain buyers would be ''qualified.'' He specifically ruled out one: Rupert Murdoch, the Australian publisher with a reputation for sensational journalism. Today, Field Enterprises accepted a $90 million cash offer from Mr. Murdoch, turning down a $63 million bid from Mr. Hoge, a former Sun- Times reporter and city editor who headed a group of local investors. At an announcement of the sale in the newspaper's fourth floor newsroom overlooking the Chicago River downtown, Mr. Hoge appeared drawn and tired. Popular and widely respected here, he was received with loud applause. He said Mr. Murdoch had won the bidding ''fair and square'' and ''I have no complaints.''

Three hundred United States marines looking for Cubans landed today on a tiny island 20 miles north of Grenada, but they returned to their ships several hours later without having found any, United States military officials said. The marines reportedly detained 17 men believed to be members of the Grenadian People's Revolutionary Army and uncovered a cache of weapons and ammunition. The Cuban Government said tonight that American troops had surrounded its embassy in Grenada. Havana also said its diplomatic personnel had been ordered out of the island. (Page A18.)

It had been a long time since the United States had won a big one. You had to go all the way back to May of 1945, when the nation celebrated V-E Day, and to August of that year for V-J Day to remember a really big one. The briefer at the Pentagon studied the tense faces confronting him. ''Gentlemen,'' he said, ''it's been a long time since we won a big one. Some of you weren't even born then. You probably don't know what winning a big one feels like.''

THE REASON FOR INVADING
Date: 01 November 1983

Reagan Administration officials acknowledge that, in their effort to rally public support for the invasion of Grenada, they may have damaged the Government's credibility by making sweeping charges about Soviet and Cuban influence on the island without so far providing detailed evidence. Because the Administration has not made available documents, a catalogue of Soviet weapons found in Grenada or other intelligence information that officials say supports their charges, questions have arisen about the Administration statement that the invasion was necessary to prevent a Cuban occupation of Grenada. Similar doubts have been raised about the Government's statement that the invasion was required to prevent leftist forces from holding United States citizens hostage. Acknowledging such questions, Administration officials said today that they were urging the Defense Department and Central Intelligence Agency to make public documents and other information that would show the extent of the Soviet and Cuban role in Grenada.
