The guessing game surrounding the peace plan of Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Fahd -would he or would he not recognize Israel? - has been generating considerable impatience here, mainly because Israelis think they know the answer very well. Optimism comes hard to a country besieged, vilified and repeatedly attacked by hostile neighbors over the decades. The impulse is to hear the Arab voices of extremism and to dismiss those of moderation, to see radicalism as reality and conciliation as duplicity. Arab affairs experts in Israel, fluent in Arabic and skilled at sifting through nuances in published and broadcast material from Middle Eastern capitals, develop a sixth sense like that of the veteran Kremlinologist who spends a lifetime dissecting Pravda. The Israelis know - they simply know - that they understand the Arab world more completely than do Americans and Western Europeans.

A DURABLE WINNER

On the first series of plays against Penn State Saturday, Alabama had a fourth down and less than a yard to go at its 45-yard line. It never considered punting. After a timeout for consultation with Coach Bear Bryant, the quarterback Alan Gray set the team in a tight wishbone. It seemed apparent to Penn State that Alabama would try a dive play for the first down. Suddenly Gray backpedaled before the snap from center, and the three running backs took a step toward the line. It was a legal shift, and it drew the entire Penn State defensive front offside, resulting in a 5-yard penalty and a first down. The cunning tactic had been used many times by Bryant. It was clear then that the coach had come prepared for anything, and that Penn State had not. Alabama won, 31-16, and Bryant, who is 68 years old, had his 314th victory in 37 years as a head coach, tying the record set in 1946 by Amos Alonzo Stagg in 57 years of coaching.

DUMONT ALMOST since the last northbound passenger train left this Bergen County town 22 years ago, commuters, public officials and railroad enthusiasts here and in other populous communities along the West Shore Railroad have sought a resumption of passenger service. Several weeks ago, they got their first encouraging news in years. The Metropolitan Transit Authority, the New York agency responsible for most rail and bus service in that state's New York suburban area, adopted a resolution calling for resumption of the railroad's commuter service. The line, which runs through the eastern sections of Orange and Rockland Counties in New York, as well as through Bergen and Hudson Counties, has carried only freight since 1959.

When Mayor Koch talks these days of improving mass transit, he stops short of the ultimate weapon - a city takeover of the troubled subway and bus system that each day carries 3.5 million passengers. He doesn't foreclose that option - open to the city under a little known state law - but he says he first wants to see if his other ideas for upgrading the transit system will bear fruit. Since his re-election victory this month, the Mayor has taken a new, more aggressive approach toward transit. After years of saying it was a state responsibility, he is insisting on a greater voice in running the system -including more seats on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority board.

WASHINGTON, D.C. NEW ENGLAND Congressmen are becoming more optimistic that they can save energy tax credits from the Federal budget ax. The Reagan Administration insists it still may try to cut or eliminate the credits, which are available to individuals and businesses to help defray the costs of installing insulation or alternative energy sources. But some members of the New England Congressional Caucus are beginning to doubt the cuts will be made. The Administration may be stalling, they say, or it may even have dropped its plans to impose the cuts.
