The Supreme Court set the stage today for the third significant test since 1979 of the right of the public and the press to attend courtroom proceedings. The Justices agreed to hear a challenge by The Boston Globe to a Massachusetts law that requires judges to close the courtroom to the press and public while a sex crime victim who is under the age of 18 is testifying. The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts upheld the law, rejecting the newspaper's argument that its reporters had a constitutional right to attend the trial under a 1980 decision by the United States Supreme Court. That decision, Richmond Newspapers v. Virginia, held that the First Amendment's free press guarantee ordinarily gives the press and the public access to criminal trials.

Nine years ago this month, President Nixon demanded and received the resignation of the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh as chairman of the United States Commission on Civil Rights after the panel accused the Administration of reducing the enforcement of school desegregation. Mr. Nixon appointed Arthur S. Flemming, who had been Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare in the Eisenhower Administration, to succeed the outspoken Father Hesburgh, and the move was widely interpreted among members of minorities as a blow to the civil rights movement. On Monday President Reagan dismissed Mr. Flemming from the post amid accusations that the Administration did not like his strong advocacy of civil rights. In both instances, the White House denied that the dismissals had anything to do with the statements of the commission or its chairman.

In the last eight weeks the Grumman Corporation has discovered just how expensive fighting an unwanted takeover bid can be. In its successful campaign to defeat the LTV Corporation's $450 million tender offer, Grumman spent more than $1.5 million in legal fees and $600,000 on newspaper advertising. The bills from its financial advisers are also expected to be steep. But Grumman's out-of-pocket expenses do not reflect the full price of rebuffing LTV. After buying Grumman stock to keep it out of LTV's hands, Grumman and its allies have had to swallow some $25 million in paper losses. And, in a long-range sense, the battle with LTV has ended Grumman's aura of isolation on Long Island, where the aircraft manufacturer is by far the largest employer.
