BROADCAST NEWS: A TRADITIONAL PRIORITY
Date: 21 August 1983
To the Editor: Betty Rollin's brave Op-Ed article (''Anchors Are in Show Business,'' Aug. 13) establishes that current practice in television is to hire good- looking anchors and leave the writing to those who are capable of it. My addendum is that the practice predates the word ''anchor'' as used these days, and that even in the times of network radio the practice was established and inviolate. In the late 40's, as a beginner at NBC, I watched the legendary Lowell Thomas pull up in his Rolls-Royce a half-hour before his evening network radio news, which at that time was aired at 7 o'clock. I once followed him, awestruck, to the studio, where he received a piece of paper from a writer, cleared his golden throat and started reading.

Texas FeelsThe Fury What was left of Hurricane Alicia roiled slowly northwest yesterday, leaving in its wake billions of dollars in property damage in Houston and Galveston, hundreds of thousands of Southeast Texans still without electricity, a quarter of a million people without telephone service and a double-edged lesson in the virtues of preparedness and planning. Because of adequate warning of the fury of the storm, the first to strike directly at the downtown of a major American city in more than a decade and one of the more severe of the century to hit the Texas coast, there were few injuries and only a dozen deaths. The breakneck growth of the metropolitan region, unrestrained by zoning or city planning, took its toll in other ways. The population explosion - from 1.4 million people in 1960 to 2.9 million people in 1980 - forced drilling and pumping for water that has led to substantial subsidence of the ground.

Chad ChallengePuts the FrenchIn a Testy MoodDispatching French troops to prop up a former African colony was bound to be awkward for Fran,cois Mitterrand, a Socialist President who had castigated his predecessors for doing just that. So last week, as several thousand French paratroops flew into Chad and the neighboring Central African Republic, Mr. Mitterrand loudly changed the subject. He authorized the newspaper Le Monde to portray him as staunchly resisting purported pressure from Washington. Mr. Mitterrand was acting only to rescue Africans from heavy-handed American tactics that threatened to create a dangerous new East-West battlefront, the paper said. President Reagan had sent so many messages, added Le Monde, that Mr. Mitterrand hadn't bothered to answer them all.
