Anne McGill Burford, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, has told aides that she has advised President Reagan to give members of the House unconditional access to disputed agency documents and that his course in trying to end his dispute with Congress is doomed to failure. In wide-ranging conversations, Mrs. Burford told the aides that the President failed to follow her advice because he was getting poor guidance from his White House staff and the Justice Department. Tonight, Deputy Attorney General Edward C. Schmults told Mrs. Burford that the Justice Department would no longer represent her or the agency in matters related to Congressional subpoenas, Administration officials said. The decision affects Mrs. Burford directly because she is under a contempt-of-Congress citation for withholding certain documents at the direction of Mr. Reagan, who said they were covered by executive privilege. A Conflict Is Cited A knowledgeable Administration official said the Justice Department could no longer represent the agency or its officials because the President, acting at Mrs. Burford's request, had ordered the department to investigate charges of agency mismanagement. Therefore, to represent Mrs. Burford and the agency would constitute a conflict of interest, said the official, who asked not to be identified.
Despite what the Bowery Savings Bank says, you can buy a pizza here at 2 A.M. Bank officials were informed of that fact by none other than Mayor Angelo R. Martinelli. He took exception to a television commercial that he said ''denigrated the city and its people'' and that ''erred'' when it suggested a person could not get a pizza at 2 A.M. ''DeFemio's Restaurant and Bar on Tuckahoe Road serves pizza until 3 A.M.'' Mr. Martinelli said. The Bowery said today that it would withdraw the commercial and issued a public apology to the Mayor and the people of Yonkers. ''We never meant to insult Yonkers or its people,'' said Diane Tracy, vice president and director of communications for the Bowery. ''The commercial was meant to be humorous in nature, and we regret if it offended the people of Yonkers.''
''You, my beloved children have the grave responsibility to break the chain of hate that produces hate, and of violence that engenders violence.
The three major stock market indicators closed yesterday at record levels for the third consecutive session as stock prices gained strong support from continued heavy buying by pension funds and other institutions. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 3 points, to 1,138.06. The New York Stock Exchange's composite index of 1,500 common stocks rose 0.70, to 88.48, while Standard & Poor's 500-stock index advanced 1.18, to 153.48. Since the beginning of February, the Dow has climbed almost 80 points, mainly because of an improving economy and because investors believe that falling oil prices will keep down inflation and interest rates.
