The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is systematically dismantling the liberal policies of its predecessor, but the panel's combative chairman insists mai ne s "noooay s pawn," even though President Ronald Reagan sought the change in course. The bitterly divided commission voted Monday to study the adverse effects of affirmatiye action, but not the consequences of Reagan's budget cuts. The panel voted for a new study of . discrimination, but without the assumption that bias always accounts for difference between groups of Americans. THE COMMISSION met yesterday at a motel north of Baltimore, with assurances from Chairman Clarence Pendleton Jr. of more "spirited debate.''

The billion-dollar home-video recordter industry won a major victory yesterday as a narrowly divided Supreme Court ruled taping television shows for private use is legal. In a 5-4 decision, the court said the sale of the increasingly popular recorders does not violate federal copyright law. The court also said using the machines to view television programs at a later time is not illegal. The ruling could still be modified in Congress, where both sides in the dispute have been waging a heavily financed battle. But at least for now, the court has removed the possibility that video recorder manufacturers would have to pay royalties on the sale of the machines.

BEFORE ANY of the substantive votes, the commission unanimously passed a resolution declaring its independence of the White House and any other groups. When the 12-hour session ended, and the new course was charted, Pendleton insisted that the panel was not acting on behalf of the White House. "Nobody's ever said a word about previous presidencies and positions commissions took/' Pendleton said. "It wasn't until Ronald Reagan came to office, and if somebodv haooens to agree with Ronald Reagan then you are a pawn of Ronald Reagan. "I'm nobody's pawn, have not been and will not be."

The court said there is not precedent in federal law to penalize the video recording industry merely because some owners might use the machines to tape copyrighted material, such as motion pictures. The high court threw out a ruling that home videotaping is illegal. About 9 million machines have been sold. One in every 10 American litumics owns one. l he recorders sell in the $400 to $800 range. SALES OF the machines, approaching $2 billion now, are expected to surpass 40 million recorders by 1990.

All three were members of the former commission, which expired 1 n f iaiv iaai jtai . The meeting had hardly begun when Ramirez objected to Pendleton's welcome to the "new civil rights commission/' She said Congress really meant to extend the old commission, not creat a new one. BERRY, WHO was late arriving, accused staff director Linda Chavez of failing to notify her about the meeting. The oversight, she said, forced her to risk her life to fly to the session during a snowstorm in a small plane. The most emotional debate came about a proposal by Chavez to cancel a study on the impact of Reagan's student financial aid cuts on predominantly minority colleges. The study was approved by the old commission, but the new commission voted 5-3 to eliminate the study on grounds it was beyond the panel's authority.

The suit was filed by Universal City Studios and Walt Disney Productions. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled in October 1981 that use of the machines violates federal copyright law. SPOKESMAN FOR Walt Disney and Sony had no immediate comment pending study of the decision. University City spokesman Bot Hadl said his studio was "disappointed," but declined further comment until the rulling could be analyzed. The appeals court ordered a federal judge to devise remedies to compensate for copyright infringement. But that action was postponed pending the appeal to the Supreme Court. I
