Over the last several months, as the tale of widespread dioxin contamination across Missouri unfolded in the news media, many physicians there became more and more incensed about what they saw as exaggerations and distortions of the presumed health dangers of the toxic compound, particularly as the subject was covered on television. One of them, Dr. Barry Ivy, a retired ophthalmologist from Springfield, Mo., penned a resolution and took it to his local Greene County Medical Society. In a series of introductory ''whereas'' paragraphs, Dr. Ivy said that a 1981 review of scientific literature on dioxin by a panel of the American Medical Association ''has not found any documented human deaths directly attributable to dioxin poisoning'' and he charged that the news media had created a ''wave of hysteria'' by disseminating ''rumors, hearsay and unconfirmed, unscientific reports.'' With that, he proposed that the physicians embark on a publicity campaign to bring ''accurate'' information to the public. That resolution, slightly modified by the Missouri delegation, worked its way up to the national meeting of the medical association recently. It generated some debate in committee but was passed by the full House of Delegates under a parliamentary rule that precluded debate.

The air of this city, which once crackled with the gunfire of death squads, is bombarded these days mostly by political oratory. As pressure began to mount this month on the 15-month-old Government of Brig. Gen. Efrain Rios Montt to make way for civilian rule, the general's political opponents took to the press and airwaves to attack him for clinging to power despite his promises of ''authentic democracy.'' On the front line of the public controversy has been a popular television news show called Aqui el Mundo, which began editorializing against the Government when restrictions on the press were lifted a few months ago. This week, Aqui el Mundo touched off the crisis that led to a state of alert and renewed restrictions on the press.

When Mayor Koch announced last week that he was dropping his policy of collecting property taxes from many cultural and social-service groups, the action had the appearance of a surrender. But lost in the much-publicized reversal was the fact that Mr. Koch's five-year effort to reduce the number of properties getting exemptions has otherwise enjoyed success. According to the city's Department of Finance, properties owned by more than 100 nonprofit groups, assessed for tax purposes at $157 million, have been taxed since Mr. Koch first announced a more restrictive policy in 1978. The group that Mr. Koch decided last week deserved exemptions includes as many as 300 properties, but they have a similar assessed value, about $150 million, officials say. Thus, based on a tax rate of about 10 percent of assessed value, Mr. Koch has taxed properties that pay taxes of about $15 million a year and decided to exempt properties that would have paid about $15 million a year.

With two scientific reports published last week, the uncertainty about the causes and probable cures for acid rain was sharply reduced. So, too, it appears, were the Reagan Administration's options for delaying regulatory action on the problem. The Administration's position has been that too little is known about the causes and effects to undertake a regulatory program to curb industrial emissions in the Middle West that might or might not be the cause of the problem. Acid rain, which is deposits of acidic and metallic particles, in dry form and in rain and snow, has been found to kill fish and other life in Northeastern and Canadian lakes and is increasingly seen as a threat to forests and to public health.

International Yuri V. Andropov canceled a meeting planned in Moscow with Chancellor Helmut Kohl of West Germany. Prime Minister Nikolai A. Tikhonov, who took the Soviet leader's place, warned that if the Atlantic alliance proceeded with deployment of new American missiles in Europe, the Warsaw Pact countries would respond ''without delay.'' (Page A1, Col. 6.) Total debts of $700 billion have been amassed by developing nations in Latin America, Africa and Asia and a number of Eastern European countries. A large part of these loans cannot be paid on time. At stake, should a significant amount of these debts be repudiated, would be the solvency of some of the world's largest multinational banks.

International A rallying speech to Afhgan refugees in Pakistan was delivered by Secretary of State George P. Shultz. He told about 4,000 refugees in the Nasir Bagh camp in Peshawar: ''Fellow fighters for freedom, we are with you.'' Mr. Shultz went to the camp before flying to Saudi Arabia to begin a visit through the Middle East to discuss the possibility of the withdrawal of foreign troops from Lebanon. Page 1, Column 6.) Syria remains inflexible in its opposition to the Israeli-Lebanese withdrawal accord, according to senior Syrian officials and Western diplomats in Damascus. Syria is expected to tell Secretary of State Shultz on his forthcoming Middle East visit that it will refuse to participate in negotiations concerning the withdrawal of its troops from Lebanon as long as Beirut adheres to the American-sponsored withdrawal agreement.

A PITCHER WHOSE TIME HAS COME
Date: 05 July 1983
Three years after he said he was ''tired of being called a 'flamethrowing prospect,' '' two years after he was American League rookie of the year, but only a year after he was returned to the minor leagues in what he called ''a very humbling experience,'' Dave Righetti can finally say goodbye to Columbus, Ohio, and the Yankee farm team there. The first Yankee pitcher to throw a no-hitter in 27 years ''is just coming into his own now,'' said Butch Wynegar, the catcher who called the pitches yesterday when Righetti defeated the Boston Red Sox, 4-0, at Yankee Stadium. ''He was rushed,'' said Wynegar, referring to Righetti's career. ''People expected a lot from him early.'' ''When you have an arm like he has, you make people hurry,'' said Joe Altobelli, now the Baltimore Orioles manager but Righetti's manager at Columbus in 1980.
