SHERRYE HENRY AND 'HOT TOPICS'
Date: 17 July 1983
By Barbara Delatiner
Barbara Delatiner
THE voice is pure antebellum: soft and melodious. Even decades away from her Tennessee roots - first in Washington as a participant in Democratic government circles; for the last 14 years in New York as a successful broadcaster - Sherrye Henry sounds the unreconstructed Southern belle.
Her eyes, though, belie the stereotype. Steel blue-gray contrasting vividly with the tentative summer tan, they are inquiring and determined.

OF APPLES, ORANGES AND TV NEWS COVERAGE
Date: 17 July 1983
To the Editor: Edward M. Fouhy of ABC News draws a tortured analogy between the ''free movement of Western television crews covering the Pope'' in Poland and the prohibition of cameras to televise legislative proceedings in our Senate (''What TV Can't See in the Capital,'' Op-Ed July 6). Certainly Mr. Fouhy's view that the public should be allowed to see our senators at work is valid and commendable, but what does that idea have to do with the permission granted the camera crew that followed the Pope in Poland? Does Mr. Fouhy believe that the Pope would not be given that freedom here and that his ''homilies'' would not be transmitted from this country to all parts of the world? A certain amount of latitude is allowed for spice in the art of rhetoric, but the pith of this article really does compare apples to oranges. ETHEL FEUER, Mount Vernon, N.Y., July 8, 1983

In opening the 74th annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People here, the vice chairman said the organization could not afford to ''hang onto the so-called status quo'' and would move into a new era. ''The realities of today demand that we make critical assessment of ourselves and the environment in which we live and operate,'' the vice chairman, Kelly M. Alexander Sr., told the 3,000 delegates last Monday. But after five days of speeches, workshops and meetings, it appeared that few people had heeded his words. Some delegates said the order of the week seemed to have been business as usual. These members saw little indication of willingness or ability to take a fresh approach to the association's problems or the changed political and social environment. As a result, some members and officials said privately, the organization and the civil rights movement in general are likely to remain trapped and frustrated for now, unable to develop an effective agenda for change.

Two years ago, economic relations between the United States and Canada had become muddy at best and stingingly acrimonious at worst. Americans sternly criticized the Canadian Government's nationalist moves to discriminate against foreign oil companies, tighten restrictions on foreign investment and adopt an overall industrial policy that seemed to further political aims at the expense of foreign economic interests. For its part, Ottawa viewed these policies as something of a lastditch attempt to reverse American dominance of several of the nation's key economic sectors. Foreigners, principally Americans, control 40 percent of Canadian mining; by contrast, foreigners control just 5 percent of mining in the United States. When the National Energy Plan was launched, foreigners controlled 65 percent of Canada's oil and gas industry as against 18 percent in the United States.

International Soviet exit visas have been given to the last of the Pentacostals who had spent nearly five years in asylum in the United States Embassy in Moscow, State Department officials said.

International The removal of foreign military bases and advisers from Central America was called for by the Presidents of four Latin American countries, who, at a meeting in Mexico, expressed ''profound concern for the rapid deterioration'' of the situation in Central America. They also called for a freeze on arms shipments and the establishment of international border patrols as key steps towards peace in the region. The Presidents of Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia and Panama attended the meeting in Cancun. (Page A1, Column 6.) Henry A. Kissinger might head a proposed bipartisan commission aimed at seeking broad political support for the Administration's policies in Central America.

He said Mr. Reagan planned to call for the creation of the commission in a speech today at a meeting of the International Longshoremen's Association in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (A1:5.)

To Jack Gimbel, the portly proprietor of Gimbel & Sons Country Store in Boothbay Harbor, Me., it always was a puzzle why Gimbel Brothers in New York thought anyone would ever confuse his store with their big department store. But the owner of Gimbel Brothers sued, charging that the coun-try store had ''irreparably damaged'' its name, and last March a settlement was reached.
