The group, called the National Democratic Caucus, includes about 40 members of the House of Representatives and about 50 party loyalists in the private sector.

To the Editor: As president of the Association of New York City Criminal Court Judges, I read your recent series of articles on the Criminal Court with particular interest. I write not to quarrel with your conclusions but to urge you to rely less on quotations and instead to observe the courts regularly. As long as the press (and the public) make only occasional forays into the courts for a special series or a sensational case, they will base their findings on the opinions of participants in the court system, each of whom has some bias, conscious or otherwise. Your report on the death of the criminal justice system is, accordingly, grossly exaggerated.

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.

Henry A. Kissinger, who will head the Presidential commission on Central America, has already indicated he believes a firm American response is needed in that region to maintain the credibility of the United States in other parts of the world. On the crucial issues that are being debated here and that the commission will be asked to discuss, Mr. Kissinger has made it clear that he opposes any cuts in American military aid to El Salvador and would even approve an American military presence on the Honduran-Nicaraguan border if covert aid to rebels in Nicaragua is no longer feasible. President Reagan's decision to appoint Mr. Kissinger to head the special panel on Central America aroused considerable comment here today, even before the rest of the commission is named. Some people, like Senator Howard H. Baker Jr., the majority leader, praised the choice. But a number of members of Congress, both liberal and conservative, were sharply critical.

International Two Caribbean military exercises within the next four weeks are being planned by the Reagan Administration, according to Administration officials. They said the big exercises, which will be held in both the Caribbean and Central America, would involve ground, air and naval forces and are intended as a warning that Washington has the means to halt the shipment of military supplies from Cuba to Nicaragua. (Page A1, Column 6.) Bipartisanship on Central America is sought by President Reagan. He announced he would establish a bipartisan Presidential commission headed by former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger to ''lay the foundation for a long-term unified national approach'' to problems in the region. (A1:5.)

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. A senior Administration official said President Reagan is giving ''serious consideration'' to appointing the former Secretary of State as the commission's chairman. 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.)

Our company is the best-kept secret in the business.'' That is one of the most familiar complaints among ad agency chief executives who feel that their non-news events are not getting the proper coverage. But that doesn't mean that a publishing type can't feel similarly neglected. On Friday E. Louis Holtermann Jr. said he did. He is the publisher of Glamour Magazine, one of Conde Nast's three entries in the female fashion field, and a fashion plate himself.
