THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1985 International Arms aid for Jordan is being weighed by the Reagan Administration, according to State and Defense Department officials. They said the Administration was nearing a decision to ask Congress to provide Amman with $300 million in additional military credits that would allow it to order F-20 fighter planes and two advanced antiaircraft defense systems. [Page A1, Column 6.] The Senate compromised on arms by adopting, 90 to 5, a resolution calling on President Reagan to continue to adhere to the 1979 strategic arms limitation treaty with the Soviet Union. But the resolution also seemed to support a measured effort by the Administration to respond to any Soviet violations of the pact. [A1:3.]

DEMOCRATIC VICTOR IN JERSEY PREPARES: PETER SHAPIRO TO BATTLE A POPULAR INCUMBENT: POLITICAL SUCCESS FROM EARLY AGE
Date: 06 June 1985
By Jane Perlez, Special To the New York Times

When Peter Shapiro graduated from Harvard, with honors, in 1974, he shunned the career paths pursued by many of his friends and headed home to New Jersey. His aim, his friends said, was to pursue a driving political ambition he did little to hide, to someday become a national political leader. And so, at the age of 23, he successfully ran for the State Assembly from a working-class district. On Tuesday, the 33-year-old Mr. Shapiro, who has held a political office ever since, went some distance in achieving his long-term goal when he defeated more seasoned politicians to win the Democratic gubernatorial nomination and the right to challenge Governor Kean in November.

A SAMPLER OF WRITING BY THE COUNTRY EDITOR
Date: 07 June 1985
Years ago, The Gazette used to give details concerning refreshments. Our reports would tell what was served at almost every gathering of ladies, gentlemen, Boy or Girl Scouts, members of this or that fraternity, and so on. But there was altogether too much jealousy concerning the various collations, and we kept getting complaints that the whipped cream had been omitted from the fruit salad cup in the Ladies' Social Circle report, or that The Gazette had seemed to favor the patty shells of the Degree of Pocahontas over the lettuce sandwiches of the Occidental Chapter, Daughters of Plutarch. After a while we became sick of this, and made an office rule that all refreshments should be treated alike. They would all be ''delicious'' in our columns, and never anything else, more or less. This worked pretty well, but ultimately the profusion of delicious refreshments was somewhat wearying, and we legislated further. Now refreshments are served, so far as the paper is concerned, and we do not characterize them. they must stand on their own feet. - From ''Country Editor,''

HENRY BEETLE HOUGH IS DEAD AT 88
Date: 07 June 1985
By Robert D. McFadden

Henry Beetle Hough, former owner and publisher of The Vineyard Gazette in Edgartown, Mass., on the island of Martha's Vineyard, and the weekly's editor for the last 65 years, died yesterday at his home in Edgartown. Mr. Hough, who had been in failing health in recent months, was 88 years old. In a weather-beaten 18th-century house in Edgartown, Mr. Hough presided over one of the nation's best-known weeklies, a journal that chronicled the residents, the public events and the natural beauty of the 18-mile-long island of scrub oak and pine, golden beaches and white colonial homes 10 miles off the southern coast of Cape Cod. Journalists from across the nation, especially from the big cities, often went to The Gazette's offices to see -and envy - the celebrated editor, who won a Pulitzer Prize at the age of 22 and was the author of ''Country Editor,'' which appeared in 1940. Mr. Hough also wrote 19 other volumes of fiction and non-fiction, from history and essays to children's tales. Visitors found a slender, baldish man with rich, brown eyes and a shy, almost tentative manner, a fount of wit, poetic expression and encyclopedic information about matters as parochial as the local gentry and as timeless as shrieking seagulls and waving saw-grass on the dunes in spring.

'INTERCOM' ASKS QUESTION: CAN PEOPLE TRUST THE MEDIA

THE most equivocal thing about ''Can the People Trust the Media?'' is the title. Robert MacNeil does not tell us whether the people can or not. Forgive him for that. Mr. MacNeil, the co-anchor of the ''MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour,'' has something to say about journalism, and none of it is self-serving. He will be seen on Channel 13 at 10:30 tonight.

G.M. TO ACQUIRE HUGHES AIRCRAFT IN $5 BILLION BID
Date: 06 June 1985

Robert Cole
The General Motors Corporation, in an ambitious diversification into aerospace and high technology, said yesterday that it had agreed to buy the Hughes Aircraft Company for more than $5 billion in cash and stock. If approved by the stockholders of both companies, the acquisition would be the biggest in history outside the oil industry. Hughes Aircraft, the nation's seventh-largest military supplier last year and the biggest maker of communications satellites, has had a reputation as a leader in advanced electronics since its origins nearly 40 years ago within the industrial empire of the late Howard R. Hughes. Diversification Effort The move is viewed as the latest in a long-term effort by Roger B. Smith, G.M.'s chairman, to diversify into non-automotive fields and to improve G.M.'s competitive position by embracing new technology. [Page D19.] It also follows the company's $2.5 billion purchase last year of Electronic Data Systems Inc., one of the nation's leading data-processing companies and a major supplier to the military.

Like the missing strawberries aboard ship in the novel-play-film ''The Caine Mutiny,'' the mystery of the Navy's $659 ashtray will not subside. In a ''Dear Cap'' letter, Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona has asked Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger for a ''full report'' on whether the Secretary was justified in publicly disciplining three naval officers after the embarrassing news about the purchase of the exorbitantly priced aircraft ashtrays.

Federal authorities said yesterday that they had arrested 13 drug traffickers connected with two unrelated rings that smuggled huge amounts of narcotics into the New York area from India. One of the groups reportedly brought in more than 40 pounds of heroin worth $40 million. The eight people arrested in that case include a Belgian diplomat charged with having carried the heroin into the United States in sealed diplomatic pouches. Officials said he was arrested at a hotel near La Guardia Airport in Queens on May 26 after having delivered 22 pounds of heroin to a Federal undercover agent. The Belgian was identified as Ludovicus Vastenavondt, 56 years old, chancellor of his country's embassy in New Delhi. Three Indian nationals were also among those arrested in that case.
