The Times' Rick Atkinson won the Pulitzer for national reporting. The Detroit News received the gold medal for public service for a series exposing the Navy's cover-up of circumstances surrounding the deaths of seamen. Saul Pett and Ron Edmonds of the Associated Press received Pulitzers for feature writing and spot news photography respectively. Pett, 64, was cited for an article profiling the federal bureaucracy and Edmonds for his photographs of the attempted assassination of President Reagan. "At my stage in life it is profoundly sweet," Pett said.

"I can be as cynical as the next man, but I am living proof that Jack Kennedy was wrong; life need not be unfair." Edmonds said of his prize: "I wish it had been for a picture that had not been of violence, of people being hurt. But I guess that's part of our job." Paul Henderson of the Seattle Times won the Pulitzer for special local reporting which proved the innocence of a man who had been convicted of rape. Two New York Times reporters won Pulitzers. John Darnton was cited for international reporting for his Stories from Poland flnH Rriftpnthnl rprpivprl fhp nri'zp in Associated Preee AP photographer Ron Edmonds won a Pulitzer Prize for this photo, one of a series taken after Reagan was shot March 1981. "I wonder if I deserve it," he said.

"It's a surprise, but a nice one." Kidder said, "I didn't think I was writing a best seller," he said. "I never thought I would. I tried to do a good, workmanlike piece of journalism." "I was absolutely flabbergasted" by the news, said McFeely, "I was totally knocked out by it. It does feel good." McFeely said he tried to present the human side of the 18th president. "I've been happy about the fact that a lot of people who are not academics, just ordinary people, have liked the book and have been interested in Grant," he said.

"I was trying to get to the man and get past the tired formulas about his being a great general and a lousy president. I wanted to get into the human being, and apparently I had some luck with this." McFeely, 51, of South Hadley, said his next project is a biography of the black abolitionist Frederick Douglass. "I won? That's very gratifying," Woodward, 73, said. He said the book was "written by a woman who died 100 years ago" in a diary kept by "a remarkable woman" named Mary Ches-nut, who chronicled her thoughts and experiences during the Civil War. It took Woodward, who is known around the world for his works on the American South, six years to edit and compile the 965-page book.

Updike, 50, of Georgetown, could not be reached immediately for his reaction to the honor. Rabbit Is i Rich is his third novel about the life of Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom. Earlier volumes of the trilogy are Rabbit Run and Rabbit Redux. Composer Sessions, 85, of Princeton, N.J., was awarded his second Pulitzer. His first was a special citation in 1974.

Babbitt, 65, of New York City and Princeton, N.J., received the special citation for his work in electronic music and 12-tone composition. Fuller, 43, lives in Philadelphia, Pa. A Soldier's Play has been in production at Theater Four in Manhattan since November. The play begins as a search for Associated Press and United Press International NEW YORK Sylvia Plath, a poet who became an idol of feminists some years after her suicide two decades ago, was awarded a 1982 Pulitzer Prize yesterday for the posthumous volume, The Collected Poems. Novelist John Updike won the fiction prize for his best-selling Rabbit is Rich, and Charles Fuller's A Soldier's Play received the drama prize in the 66th annual Pulitzer awards.

Updike is one of three Massachusetts writers who won Pulitzers yesterday. Tracy Kidder, 36, of Williamsburg, won the prize for non-fiction for The Soul of a New Machine, a book about computers and the people who make them. And William S. McFeely, a historian at Mt. Holyoke College, won the prize in biography for Grant: A Biography.

The Pulitzer Prize for musical composition was awarded to Concerto for Orchestra by Roger Sessions, which premiered on Oct. 23, 1981, by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. A special citation in music was awarded to Milton Babbitt for his life's work as a "distinguished and seminal American composer." The Pulitzer Prize for history was awarded to Mary Chesnut's Civil War edited by C. Vann Woodward. Plath, who killed herself in 1963, was the fourth poet to receive the prize posthumously, following in the pattern of Amy Lowell in 1926, a year after her death, Stephen Vincent Benet, who won in 1944 and William Carlos Williams in 1963, honored two months after his death.

She won no major prizes during her lifetime and most of her work was published after her death. Kidder gasped and said, "Oh boy, terrific," when informed yesterday that his second book had won the prize for non-fiction. Kidder's book is the story of the efforts of two computer design teams at Data General Corp. Kidder said he had heard rumors that he was in the running for the prize but had not taken them seriously.

The Pulitzer Prize for musical composition was awarded to Concerto for Orchestra by Roger Sessions, which premiered on Oct. 23, 1981, by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The Sessions concerto has not been recorded, a spokesman for Music Masters, a premier classical music store in New York City, said yesterday. A special citation in music was awarded to Milton Babbitt for his life's work as a "distinguished and seminal American composer." The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra has not performed any works by Babbitt or Sessions.

Nothing by either composer appears on next season's schedule. Rosenthal won his Pulitzer for editorials on topics that included the release of the Iranian hostages, Reagan's economic policies and the intolerance of American society toward fat people. Sargent, an editorial cartoonist for the American-Statesman for eight years, was praised for "his mordant satire in the best tradition of Thomas Nast and his pungent pictorial comment." White was cited for feature photographs, including one of an Illinois Army National Guard medical group three men, one woman singing while marching in the rain during summer camp training. The Pulitzer board described Buchwald as "an American institution." Last year, the board said, Buchwald "subjected this country's social and political concerns to searching scrutiny a scrutiny marked as always by liberal doses of fantasy, an unmatched sense of the absurd and unfailing wit." Bernheimer, winner of the Pulitzer for criticism, was cited for articles on violinist Jascha Heifetz on his 80th birthday and a review of a San Francisco performance by Luciano Pavarotti. "Pavarotti has pushed what used to be a gorgeous middleweight instrument where it is neither lyrical fish nor dramatic fowl," Bernheimer wrote.

Pett told readers of his bureaucracy story that "the government of the United States is so big that nobody runs it and nobody owns it Everybody it seems wants something or opposes something and in the melee bureaucracy grows larger and more shapeless and threatens to become, in itself, a government of too many people, by too many people, for too many people." The Pulitzer board said Pett's article helped explain "the story of the year: the administration's attempt to reshape government and reverse trends of half a century." Edmonds had been an AP staffer for less than two months when Reagan was shot. As Edmonds raised his camera outside the Washington HiltAn to catch the president's wave, he heard three pops. "Like firecrackers I just kept my finger on the motor drive," he said later. In three frames, Edmonds captured the wave, the president as he was hit on the left side and agents pushing Reagan into his limousine. 0 A (D Go Jordache!

Cooke later resigned from the Washington Post.

The feature writing prize then was awarded to Teresa Carpenter of the Village Voice of New York City. This year, the Pulitzer Board took two days instead of the customary one day to make the final determinations on the prizes, Robin Kuzen, assistant to the administrator of the prizes, said. The board had not met in a two-day session since 1959, according to Kuzen. The Pulitzer Prizes were endowed by Joseph Pulitzer, publisher of The World, in New York. They are awarded by the president of Columbia University on recommendation of the Pulitzer Prize Board for work done during the preceding year.

The administrator of the prizes is Robert C. Christopher. The prizes all carry a $1,000 cash award with the exception of the prize for Meritorious Public Service. Recipients of the public service award receive a gold medal. Ridge.

the editorial writing category. "I'm overwhelmed, very glad to have the opportunity to come here and see historic events first hand and I only regret trjat so far it has hot ended better for Poland," Darnton, 40, said in Warsaw. John H. White of the Chicago Sun-Times was cited for feature photography. The Pulitzer board praised his "consistently excellent work on a variety of subjects." The editorial cartooning award went to Ben Sargent of the Austin American-Statesman.

"I'm real excited," Sargent said minutes after the announcement. "I hope this means the return of the ideological cartoon." Art Buchwald won a Pulitzer for distin-guisehd commentary for his columns for the Los Angeles Times Syndicate. His column runs Monday, Wednesday and Friday on page 3C in the Democrat and Chronicle. Martin Bernheimer of the Los Angeles Times received the award for criticism for his writing on classical music. "I won't believe it for a week or so because my mind rejects junk like that, especially when you're a nasty critical person like I am," Bernheimer said.

"I'm very happy." The Detroit News series which won the gold medal for public service dealt with the death of a 21-year-old sailor as the result of a punishment exercise aboard the USS Ranger. News reporters Sydney P. Freedberg and David Ashenfelter pieced together eyewitness accounts showing the sailor's death was caused by mental and physcial torment inflicted during detention. The staffs of the Star and the Times were praised for what the board called "the most concerted coverage of any single event in their history" the deaths of 113 people when the Hyatt Regency Hotel's two skywalks collapsed on July 17, 1981 in Kansas City, Mo. In the week following the accident, the newspapers published more than 50 pages of news about it; by year's end, they had run more than 340 stories and hundreds of pictures on the subject The Star and the Times discovered that a critical design change in the skywalks had doubled the stress in key areas and probably triggered the collapse.

Atkinson was praised for bringing "alive for regional readers stories of national scope." The Seattle Times' Henderson won for his reporting on the plight Steve Titus, who had been convicted of first-degree rape. Henderson found discrepancies in police reports and showed Titus' guilt was doubtful. When authorities investigated further, they found a man who looked like Titus who eventually admitted the crime. Darnton was praised for his reports on the failings of communism and the rise of the Solidarity movement in Poland. The Pulitzer board said Darnton began moving through Warsaw streets as tanks heralded the declaration of martial law in Poland on Dec 12.

He saw and reported on how the occupants of Solidarity's Warsaw headquarters were herded into vans bv riot police. Louis M. Lyons dies at 84 "As all New England knows, Louis M. Lyons is a Yankee of sunny, salty character," the late critic and author, Bennett Cerf, said at the presentation of the Peabody Award in 1957. "His broadcasts heard simultaneously on radio and TV are clearheaded, courageous but unbelligerent, forthright and fair." Born in Boston, Lyons worked as a reporter and editorial writer for the Boston Globe and spent almost 30 years as a commentator.

Lyons received a bachelor's degree from the Massachusetts Agricultural College in 1918 and later attended graduate school at Harvard. In his more than 60 years as a newspaperman, Lyons received numerous awards, including the Alfred I. DuPont award as the nation's outstanding newscaster, George Foster1 Peabody Award for broadcasting, the Richard Lauterbach Civil Liberties award, the Freedom Foundation Medal and the Overseas Press Club Citation. Survivors include his wife, Catherine; three sons, Richard L. of Sandwich, N.H., John W.

of Mt Airy, and Thomas T. Lyons of An-dover; a daughter, Margaret Ford of Bridgewater, Conn; 15 grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. Associated Press CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Louis M. Lyons, dubbed "the conscience of his profession" by Harvard University after serving as curator of its Nieman Foundation for 25 years, is dead at 84.

Funeral arrangements for Lyons, who died Sunday at Harvard's Stillman Infirmary of malignant lymphoma after a long illness, were incomplete and probably will be announced today. A member of the first class of Nieman Fellows, Lyons later taught prominent U.S. journalists who attended the year-long fellowship program at Harvard. "More than any single person, Louis Lyons has left his mark on American journalism as practiced by leading reporters, writers and editors," said Jack Nelson, the Washington bureau chief of the Los Angeles Times. Another former Nieman Fellow, Anthony Lewis, columnist of the New York Times, wrote this year of Lyons, "in an age of image-making and exploitation, he stands for old-fashioned decency.

"There is an uncompromising quality in his soft New England voice. It is impossible to imagine him saying something that he thinks may be untrue or unfair." 1.
