ABC News, seeking to cut the cost of its overseas news-gathering operations, will soon impose measures that will in effect reduce the pay of foreign correspondents and others by 7 percent, according to network officials. The plan, outlined to ABC journalists at a meeting of ABC's foreign bureaus last week in London and only one of several cost-cutting measures discussed, would dramatically alter the network's ''retention'' policy - a method of enhancing the compensation paid to employees working overseas for the network. Under current policy, ABC pays all of the foreign taxes owed by an ABC employee, and deducts only 15 percent of that employee's salary. The difference between that 15 percent and the amount picked up by ABC is usually considerable.

BOSTON U. FOCUSES ON DISINFORMATION

Date: 18 November 1986

By Fox Butterfield, Special To the New York Times

Early in his career, as a Czech intelligence operative known as Ladislav Bittman, Lawrence Martin says, he helped alter old Nazi files and then dumped them into a lake near the West German border. A few days later, a Czechoslovak television crew supposedly investigating ancient legends of the lake dredged up the documents and used them to depict some top West German politicians as war criminals. The operation was a classic example of Soviet-directed disinformation, Mr. Martin says, and he has made it into a case study for a popular new course he is teaching at Boston University called ''Disinformation and the Press.'' Last week Mr. Martin also officially opened what he describes as the nation's first center for the study of disinformation at Boston University. Mr. Martin, who changed his name when he sought asylum in the United States after the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, believes the center can serve as an important buffer against systematic Russian disinformation, which he asserts is undermining America's role in the world.
