CBS News turned over transcripts and tapes of interviews conducted for a ''60 Minutes'' program on alleged fastfood franchise frauds yesterday after a Federal judge threatened the network with a heavy contempt fine. But attorneys for the network said they would appeal the judge's decision to turn other transcripts already in his possession over to six men scheduled to go on trial Monday on charges of swindling investors in a New Jersey-based fast-food chain out of millions of dollars. Timothy Dyk, an attorney for CBS, turned over the material to Judge Herbert J. Stern in Federal District Court here a day after the judge had threatened to impose a ''terribly large'' contempt fine on CBS. Mr. Dyk said he was making the material available only because the judge had said the material he had already received was unclear. Judge Stern, who received partial transcripts of an interview with three potential government witnesses earlier this month, contended that he needed a full transcript to render the conversations he had already heard ''intelligible.''

Now that the initial burst of applause is subsiding, members of Congress, lobbyists, some executives and others are voicing second thoughts about the Administration's proposal to give tax relief to business solely by permitting faster write-offs for buildings, equipment and vehicles. The House Ways and Means Committee is hearing some of these doubts and counterproposals in hearings that started today. Mayor Koch and Governor Carey are to testify tomorrow. As might be expected, complaints about depreciation as the sole type of business tax relief come from those who would gain little. Among them are small-business representatives, Northern Congressmen who fear the bill would hasten migration of factories to the Southwest and the service and high-technology industries, whose biggest costs are labor, not depreciable assets.

The Standard Chartered Bank, banker to the British Empire, has decided that the time is now right to come home. ''In 1974 we drew up our strategy with two main aims,'' said Standard Chartered's managing director, Peter Graham. ''We wanted to establish ourselves in the United States and in Britain, which, after all, are the two most important financial centers in the world.'' The first aim was achieved in 1979, when the bank paid $372 million for the California-based Union Bancorp. Standard Chartered also owns 30 percent of Mocatta Metals, the bullion trading specialists in New York, and has a major interest in Mocatta Goldsmid, the London-based gold dealer.

While the fall and winter fashion collections are unfolding here this week, there is the feeling of spring in the air. Forsythia and dogwood flower against thick green carpets of grass and it is warm enough to stroll in the sun in shirt-sleeves. The designers deny they have managed the weather, which has been balmy all winter. Fashion remains an island of prosperity in Italy's foundering economy. The devaluation of the lira a few days ago will make the prices of luxury fashions more accessible, United States buyers feel. They are buoyed anyway by the look of the new clothes.

''The union's appeal for strikes cannot be interpreted other than as an invitation for self-annihilation. Who has the courage to make out of a local incident a national cause threatening catastrophe?'' - Stanislaw Kania, Poland's Communist party leader. (A1:2.)

Governor Carey said today that he might consider a change in state law that would require doctors to notify a teen-age girl's parents when she sought an abortion. The Governor's remarks followed a decision yesterday by the United States Supreme Court that upheld a Utah law requiring such parental notification, at least when the pregnant teen-ager was a minor still dependent on her family and living at home. ''If a procedure is going to be performed on one of my children, I want to know about it, notwithstanding consent,'' the Governor told a meeting here of the National Organization for Women. ''What I'm addressing is notification.''

WE had dined well, no doubt about that, and on some extraordinary combinations of flavors. There had been, for example, a marriage of baked lobsters with a savory, silken, vanilla-flavored sauce. Lobsters? Vanilla? It would seem to be one of the least compatible flavor liaisons conceivable. If the reflexive reaction to such a dish was a grimace, it was quickly dispelled. The combination not only worked, it was a triumph of taste over logic. There was also roast squab served on a bed of endives confites, the white vegetable's leaves cooked with a little sugar to a mahogany brown. There had been oysters, lightly heated and served in a butter sauce with a julienne of leeks; a second appetizer, a borrowing from the kitchens of Asia: rice paper doilies, softened and wrapped around a curried chicken mixture and cooked to a delectable, tantalizing turn. And a second lobster fantasy, a salad made with steamed lobster and mango served on a bed of greens that had been deliberately warmed in the oven so that they had merely lost their chill while retaining a highly desirable crisp texture.

When the Procter & Gamble Company recalled its Rely tampon in September after it was linked to toxic shock syndrome, it was the first time in the company's 143 years that a product was withdrawn from the market. Consumer advocates were not surprised at Procter & Gamble's action. The company is considered sensitive to its public-health responsibilities and has long placed considerable emphasis on dialogue with consumers. While consumer relations departments generally win praise for helping to resolve individual complaints, they have been criticized by some government officials and independent consumer advocates for their limited ability to effect major changes in corporate operations and policies.

Soaring energy costs that in large part have resulted from President Reagan's decision to decontrol oil prices pushed the Consumer Price Index up 1 percent last month. Without the rises in energy prices, the increase in the most closely watched measure of prices would have been only three-tenths of 1 percent, the smallest in three months. Were the 1 percent increase to continue for 12 months, it would produce a compounded annual rate of 12.7 percent. Consumer prices in the New York-Northeastern New Jersey area rose 1.1 percent in February, with sharply higher energy costs accounting for about half of the increase. (Page A15.)

President Reagan and Foreign Minister Masayoshi Ito of Japan agreed today that the two countries would continue to discuss the issue of possibly limiting Japanese auto imports, with the goal of resolving the problem before Prime Minister Zenko Suzuki visits Washington the second week in May. At a hastily improvised White House news conference shared with Mr. Ito, Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. said the United States-Japan dialogue would continue ''with a view toward our concern about the maintenance of free trade.'' Mr. Ito said that he hoped for a resolution of the problems ''as soon as possible, hopefully before the Prime Minister's visit.''

News of President Reagan's proposed budget cuts came to this shrinking industrial city off Lake Ontario two days after the New York Court of Appeals ruled in February that it must refund at least $42 million in property taxes. The two developments, like rapid hammer blows to a city struggling for renewal after two decades of decline, have been followed by almost daily after-tremors with the discovery of some new impact of the proposed Federal cuts on the city, its people and institutions. Rochester is better off than many Northeastern cities, both fiscally and in its potential for recovery. Nevertheless, like the other aging cities of the North, it will suffer disproportionate burdens if the President's economic package is enacted, according to a range of authorities on the local and national levels. While Southern and Southwestern cities have become more dependent on --------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the first of two articles on the possible impact of President Reagan's proposed budget cuts on two cities. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal aid than they like to think, their booming economies are expected to cushion the effects of the proposed cuts in social programs.
