With crime rising in Detroit and some youths contributing to it with violence after attending outdoor public events, Mayor Coleman A. Young ordered a summer curfew last year for everyone under 18 years of age. The curfew, from 10 P.M. to 6 A.M., put the Mayor at odds with the Amer- ican Civil Liberties Union, which sued to have it lifted as discriminatory against young people.

The economic news is remarkably good: Unemployment has fallen to 7 percent, the lowest rate in four years, while inflation holds steady at a modest 4.6 percent. Naturally, President Reagan hastens to take credit. His Administration, he says, ''is the first in two decades that has reduced unemployment and inflation at the same time.''

Every time a bank failed in the United States in the Great Depression of the 1930's, the Comptroller of the Currency took over the assets for safekeeping.

The Federal Communications Commission today dismissed a pro-Israel group's complaint that NBC distorted the news and violated the Fairness Doctrine with its television coverage of Lebanon in 1982. The group, Americans for a Safe Israel, had asked the commission to deny license renewals of the network's New England affiliates because of news reports that, it said, contained ''bias and misrepresentations.''

Up and down Main Street, residents of this village expressed stunned disbelief today at the report that local youths had been involved in the slaying and mutilation of a 17-year-old boy as part of a satanic ritual. ''It's unbelievable that this could happen in this community,'' said Bob Leonardo, a past president of the Northport Chamber of Commerce and the owner of Northport Cleaners. ''There are exotic things that happen in Manhattan, but they don't happen in Northport.''

After a Soviet fighter pilot shot down Korean Air Lines Flight 007 last September with the loss of 269 lives, the United States demanded in a diplomatic note that the Soviet Union pay compensation to the families of the 61 Americans who died. But the Soviet Embassy refused to accept the note, contending that the jetliner had been on a spying mission off Siberia and that the United States had been responsible for sending it.

WASHINGTON EMPTY boxes and stacks of folders line the hallway outside the new office of New Jersey's 13th Congressional District, thus announcing the relocation of Representative Edwin B. Forsythe's staff since his death from cancer at his Moorestown home on March 29. Mr. Forsythe, a Republican, was 68 years old and had served in the House for 14 years. Although the district's new office is permanent, the sight of other boxes, unpacked and stacked in corners of the office, show that the staff is also changing.

Greece's request for surplus aircraft will probably be turned down by the Reagan Administration, according to State Department and Pentagon officials. They said the Administration was near a decision to reject the request, largely in reaction to Athens's recent handling of incidents involving terrorist activity. Greece has been seeking to obtain 16 F-5 interceptors from Norway, which received them free of charge from the United States a decade ago. Norway has declared the aircraft to be surplus, but the United States retains control over further transfers. (Page A1, Column 6.) Illegal immigration in West Europe has reached the point where the Governments are trying to turn the immigrants back, but they have not been particularly successful, with the possible exception of Britain. Tamil tea pickers from Sri Lanka, Kurds from Beirut, Ashantis from Ghana, teen- agers from Iran seeking to avoid the draft and Pakistani drug pushers are seeking refuge. (A1:3.)
