According to "60 Minutes." it's no laughing matter that the military heads for the back door whenever the program bangs on the front. Phil Scheffler, senior producer for "60 Minutes." says military officials have refused to give on-camera interviews or have imposed unacceptable ground rules. For one story' on the Maverick missile, the Pentagon insisted on unedited interviews and rebuttal time.

"We never impose these rules on anybody else." says Henry Catto. assistant secretary of defense for public affairs. He says these rules were imposed on individual stories $n0 do not reflect a militarywide policy "On the Maverick piece, we were convinced by their approach that they thought it was another Pentagon Catto says. "The perception in this building is that '60 Minutes' is a program with a point of view." adds Catto. "1 agree that the American people have a right to know what's going on in the military.

But there's no right to force somebody to go on-air when Jhey're convinced what will be used won't portray accurately their feelings." Cattp acknowledges that many military officials mistakenly hold "60 Minutes" responsible for "The Uncounted i A Vietnam Deception." a documentary questioning the Judgment of Gen. William Westmoreland, which was prepared by the "CBS Reports." documentary team, adiffe- rent unit at CBS News. The program, which is the subject of a libel suit, had Wallace as its narrator. says the Pentagon policy is "anti-'60 Minutes." not anfi-Mike Wallace But Don Hewitt, the show's executive producer, says "Catto is knuckling under to a bunch of military guys trying to punish Mike Wallace We're not anti- military-. We practice good journalism and patriotic Americanism." Wallace claims the military obstacles started about tlse time Caspar Weinberger became secretary of defense I til the last two years, the military had always been cooperative with us." he says.

"This is an absolutely new policy established from on high. I think they hart themselves by not being forthright." They also hamper the ability of "60 Minutes' to do its job "We've had to kill some stories because we couldn't the Pentagon to give its side." says Hewitt. The program wanted to do a piece on the Pentagon reaction to reports of alcohol abuse on American navaf bases in Europe. Hewitt says the project was dumped because the Navy would only agree to written questions "We need to be on-air, with a chance of follow-ups." says Wallace "We're television." The Maverick piece was broadcast, however, with the notation that the Defense Department wouldn't comment without imposing "unacceptable conditions While "60 Minutes" savors its reputation for aggressive journalism, this controversy isn't helping its credibility. which is under attack in 10 current lawsuits.

And besides limiting access the program's lifeblood -there's the fear that the Pentagon silent treatment could catch on elsewhere. "60 Minutes" does not want to be hoisted on its own petard "It's a myth, a legend that we are calling miscreants tu account all the time," says Wallace. "If we do too much of that stuff, no one will talk to us." "CBS Evening News" anchor Dan Rather says his broadcast hasn't felt any abnormal Pentagon pressure. But the bad blood may be affecting other CBS reporters covered a broad Pentagon brush Col.
