TV executives met with representatives of the network's affiliates yesterday in Hawaii in an effort to convince the affiliates' board to accept a proposal to expand ''The CBS Evening News'' from 30 minutes to an hour next year. According to high-level CBS sources, the attempt has the full approval of William S. Paley, chairman of CBS, and Gene F. Jankowski, president of the CBS/Broadcast division. CBS sources said the company was prepared to assure the affiliates that they would not lose any money during the first year by giving up one of the half-hours between 6 and 7:30 P.M. Many stations command their highest rates for commercial time sold during the period. Such compensation could cost the network as much as $40 million to $50 million.

GEORGE KENNAN CALLS ON U.S. TO VIEW SOVIET MORE SOBERLY
Date: 18 November 1981
George F. Kennan, the historian and former diplomat, feels that the view of the Soviet Union in ''our governmental and journalistic establishments'' is so distorted and exaggerated that it imperils the chances for ''a more hopeful world.'' He spoke about American perceptions of the Soviet Union on Monday at Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., where he received an award in honor of Grenville Clark, a lawyer who advocated world peace through law. A former ambassador to Moscow and a specialist in Soviet affairs, Mr. Kennan is a co-chairman of the American Committee on East-West Accord, a nongovernmental group promoting improved Soviet-American relations.

The big winners yesterday in the recommendation of candidates for cable franchises in Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island and the Bronx were several of the nation's largest cable operators. It was yet another indication that power in the cable industry is being concentrated in the hands of large corporations without strong roots in the communities they seek to serve. The recommendations are just one more step in the city's long process. City officials made it clear yesterday that the companies chosen and the services to be provided would be hashed out in contract negotiations expected to begin next month. That is when the Board of Estimate will take a final vote on which companies to choose for negotiation.

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.

However slim its chances for success in negotiations with the Soviet Union, the arms reduction proposal put forward by President Reagan today culminates a deliberate shift in both tone and policy toward Moscow from the bristling polemics of last spring to a new push for peacemaking. With an eye on the restless anxiety in Europe over talk of ''limited nuclear war'' and planned American missile deployments, the President dropped his earlier emphasis on linking arms control to Soviet behavior in world trouble spots and presented himself as a ready partner for arms talks with Moscow in four fields, all intended to establish a peace that ''goes well beyond the absence of war.'' Mr. Reagan's speech, the first Presidential address ever beamed live by satellite by the American Government to Western Europe, was timed to get maximum impact on European television newscasts tonight and to take the initiative away from Leonid I. Brezhnev, the Soviet leader, who will begin a visit to West Germany on Sunday. The first reactions from Western European capitals and from Democrats as well as Republicans in Congress indicated that Mr. Reagan won credit for having finally moved to rebut the European contention that he is presiding over an erratic, divided, bellicose Administration less dedicated to arms control than the Kremlin.

''We tend not to resolve very thorny political problems until we absolutely have to, or everything comes to a halt,'' Senator Joseph R. Biden, Democrat of Delaware, said as Congress went down to the wire on yet another money bill. Two months into the fiscal year, Congress has failed to appropriate funds for anything but itself, while the rest of the Government is about to run out of money. In its own defense, Congress has contended that much of the delay has come from waiting for a fiscal signal from President Reagan. Last year, similar delays were attributed to the national elections, and waiting for a fiscal signal from President Carter.

International An American arms control plan was presented by President Reagan. Urging that both Washington and Moscow act to avoid ''the dread threat of nuclear war,'' he announced he had proposed to the Kremlin cancellation of plans for new American intermediate-range missiles in Europe in return for the dismantling of comparable Soviet nuclear forces. (Page A1, Column 6.) Moscow dismissed the arms proposals offered by President Reagan as a ploy designed to scuttle the Geneva talks on controls and to blunt the antinuclear movement in Western Europe. A dispatch by Tass questioned Mr. Reagan's assertion that Moscow was superior in mediumrange weapons and called his figures ''fantastic.'' (A1:5.)
