NEWS GROUPS PROTEST

For the last two days, the Reagan Administration has barred reporters from Grenada and imposed extraordinary restrictions on news coverage of the military invasion of that Caribbean island. As the military operation by United States and Caribbean forces continued for a second day, President Reagan said through a spokesman that reporters would be allowed onto the island when American military commanders determined that conditions were safe for them. Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger said he hoped the island could be opened to reporters as early as Thursday. Until late this afternoon, when Secretary Weinberger and Gen. John W. Vessey Jr., Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, provided the first detailed briefing of the operation at a news conference, reporters here and elsewhere had found themselves relying heavily on ham radio operators and Radio Havana for reports on conditions on the island. It was ham radio operators who reported today that six journalists, including four Americans, had landed on the island in a chartered fishing boat. First reports said the journalists had been taken to the St. James Hotel in St. George's, the capital, but later reports said at least four of them had been taken from the island by American forces to the carrier U.S.S. Guam.

We have rescued and are transporting back to the United States a number of Americans. The first flight will have about 70 and they will go to Charleston. As a matter of fact, I think they're just about ready to land at Charleston, and we have control now, as you know, of both airfields and one campus of the medical college. And we were very pleased to be able to release the Governor General and his wife and his family. They are safe and were out on the Guam a few hours ago.

It remained a member of the Commonwealth.

The Reagan Administration permitted a small group of reporters to go to Grenada today for the afternoon as a furor continued over the limitations imposed on news coverage of the invasion of the tiny Caribbean island. A Defense Department spokesman said a pool of 15 journalists, none of them from daily newspapers, had flown from Bridgetown, Barbados, to Grenada in a military C-130 transport plane. The spokesman said that beginning Friday, there were plans for twice-daily flights of reporters to Grenada ferrying 20 to 25 reporters at a time. The pool reporters will then share their information with other reporters.

U.S. DEFENDS WARNING ABOUT GRENADA RADIOS

A spokesman for the Federal Communications Commission said today that the crackdown earlier this week on amateur radio operators using unauthorized frequencies in an attempt to reach Grenada was not an effort to restrict the flow of information about fighting on the island. The spokesman, William Russell, said the commission's Wednesday warning to ham operators to stay off unauthorized frequencies was an effort to keep those frequencies open for Mark Barettella, a ham operator in Grenada who was providing reports on the situation at the St. George's University School of Medicine, where he and some 500 other students from the United States were enrolled. Mr. Russell said some members of Congress had called the commission today to protest what some saw as another Administration effort to tighten its controls over news coverage of the military operation. At the request of the State Department, Mr. Russell said, the commission had authorized Mr. Barettella to switch to a frequency on which there was the least interference, so he could provide information on conditions at the school for the families of American students.

NEW ISSUE ON BEIRUT

News Analysis WASHINGTON, Oct. 27 - First there was outrage about the bombing of the marines in Beirut; then there was anguish as the death toll mounted. Now indignation has set in and a key question has arisen: Will any American official or military officer be held accountable for the heavy loss of life? The Reagan Administration has diverted attention from that issue since Sunday. Administration officials have said the question of an inquiry to determine whether anyone would be held accountable, in a time-honored military tradition, would have to await the return of the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. P. X. Kelley, from an inspection of the disaster. General Kelley returned from Beirut this afternoon. Thus a new phase in the Lebanon affair has opened, with urgent decisions to be made. The most difficult issue of all may be trying to affix responsibility for any lapse in security that permitted the still unknown terrorists to carry out the suicide attack.

United States forces invading Grenada encountered resistance from two Cuban combat battalions that the Americans did not realize were on the island, Government officials said today. Defense Department officials said they had estimated there were 500 Cuban advisers and technicians, including 350 construction workers. But when the assault forces met with resistance, including antiaircraft fire, officials concluded that regular combat units were in Grenada posing as construction workers.
