DINING AREA AND HALL (REGARDLESS Of SIZE) BOO Hong Kong-Peking's three leading publications yesterday came close to admitting Hua Kuo-feng has succeeded Mao Tse-tung as chairman in referring to "the party Central Committee headed by Comrade Hua Kuo-feng" in a front-page joint editorial. While there still has been no official announcement that Mr. Hua will assume the title of chairman of the Chinese Communist party, the publications moved his position one notch higher than his status as head of the Politburo of the Central Committee.

The Politburo title was disclosed Saturday in a party decision to print all the hitherto unpublished works of Mao. According to the structure of the party, the Central Committee is the larger policy-making body that elects its chairman and vice chairmen, while the Politburo is the product of the Central Committee and acts on its behalf when the committee is not in session. All that is needed now to formalize Mr. Hua's accession as chairman with supreme power over more than 800 million Chinese is a public announcement. Reuter news service, reporting from Peking yesterday, quoted a senior Chinese official as saying that the announcement of Mr.

Hua's appointment would be made in the near future. Entitled "Common Aspirations of Hundreds of Millions of People," yesterday's editorial of the party organ People's Daily, the theoretical magazine Red Flag and the military journal Liberation Army Daily hailed Saturday's party decisions as "major events in the political life of the Chinese people." 1,500 protest martial law in the Philippines Manila (AP) Police armed with bamboo truncheons dispersed about 1,500 persons demonstrating against the Philippine martial law regime yesterday on one of Manila's busiest thoroughfares. No injuries or arrests were reported. In another Manila area, about 300 squatters presented a World Bank representative with a petition stained in their own blood demanding that the bank withdraw a $32 million loan to the Philippine government intended to improve the waterfront slum where the squatters live. Students and laborers, with banners reading "Down with Martial Law," "Fight the Democracy" and "Marcos-Hitler-Dic-tator," poured out of the Catholic De La Salle University after a rally against martial law.

They ran into a blockade of about 400 policemen and 200 civilian guards. After an hour-long stand-off, the police permitted the marchers to board buses to Plaza Miranda, a popular midtown meeting place before President Ferdinand E. Marcos declared martial law in 1972. The marchers planned 'to hold a rally there condemning the scheduled October 16 national referendum on martial law and on constitutional amendments. Police Lt.

Col. N. M. Cabrera told the marchers they were permitted to hold meetings on the referendum but not to march in the streets and hold up traffic. The rally and march contrasted with a pro-government meeting on the referendum televised in Manila during most of the afternoon.

At the squatters' meeting, held in a slum area church, Gregory Votaw, a World Bank official, gave assurances that the bank loan would not result in mass relocation of nearly 150,000 waterfront squatters. The squatters complained that the government has failed to keep a promise to let them buy the land they live on and would not let them participate ih the planning for the waterfront improvements. They pricked their palms and fingers with razor blades to blot stains of blood next to their signatures on the petition. The meeting was organized after the squatters wrote several months ago to Robert S. McNamara, president of the World Bank, asking to meet with him during the joint annual meeting here of the bank and International Monetary Fund, which ended Friday.

728-5891 a IS One of the decisions was to build a hall in Peking to enshrine the body of Chairman Mao, who died September 9, and the other was to publish his works. It was in the latter decision that the Central Committee referred to Mr. Hua for the first time as head of the Politburo. Calling for an active response to Saturday's party exhortation for a mass study of the works of Mao, the application of his thought in the course of political struggles and the continued criticism of Teng Hsiao-ping, the deposed vice premier, the editorial said: "We must rally most closely around the party Central Committee headed by Comrade Hua Kuo-feng. Previously, Mao, who assumed leadership of the party in 1935 during the epic Long March, and no other person, was ever mentioned in this context.

Mr. Hua's supreme leadership immediately drew warm support from the entire party of 30 million members, the 3.5 million-man People's Liberation Army and the entire population, according to tisin-hua, the official news agency. Officers and men of the armed forces were said to vow to study Mao thought, rally around the Central Committee, specifically mentioned as "headed by Comrade Hua," safeguard unity of. the party and obey orders of the Central Committee. People living in the border areas were said to pledge to build the sensitive frontier regions into "indestructible iron bastions" under the leadership of the Central Committee, again making a point to say that the committee is headed by Mr Hua.

Responses from other parts of the country, as reported by Hsinhua, reflected the theme set in yesterday's joint editorial. They highlighted the Maoist slogans, "Practice Marxism, and not revisionism," "Unite, and don't split," "Be open and aboveboard, and don't intrigue and conspire." These slogans were advanced by Mao in 1971 after the fall of Lin Piao, then his heir, who was accused of advocating revisionism, plotting to split the party and conspiring to overthrow and kill Mao. Mr. Teng, the target of the current political campaign, also had been denounced for his revisionist tendencies, his alleged attempt to split the party and his reported intrigue and conspiracy behind the "counter-revolutionary" riots in Peking in April that brought his downfall. The editorial warned "Anyone who betrays Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tse-tung thought, and anyone who practices revisionism and splittism and engages in conspiracies is bound to fail." It called for the upholding of party unity, strengthening of organization and discipline, obedience to the Central Committee on all actions, perseverance in continuing the proletarian revolution, consolidation of the gains of the cultural revolution and promotion of production.

China war held too costly for Soviet Washington (AP) -James R. Schlesin-ger, reporting on his 23-day China visit, says a Soviet attack on that country "could be far more costly to the Soviets than any conceivable gain." The Chinese, the former secretary of defense said, intend to respond to any Soviet attack by waging war along the frontier. One might think about it possibly as a vast Vietnam." Mr. Schlesinger, in an interview in this week's issue of U.S News World Report, said China is vulnerable "relative to the highly advanced Soviet military But he added: "It would be a very rash Soviet Union that would wish to become deeply engaged in China, because it could be an exhaust- ing, debilitating conflict." The former defense chief discounted the use of nuclear weapons by the Chinese in the face of a Russian invasion. He said, "I think they recognize the disadvantage of a relatively weak nuclear power initiating the use of nuclear weapons against a strong nuclear power." ONE ANNAPOLIS-ARNOLD Arnold Rd.
