The Cable News Network was charged with contempt of court today on the recommendation of a special Federal prosecutor, who said the network had "knowingly and willfully" disobeyed a judge's order in 1990 not to broadcast tape recordings of Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega while the former Panamanian dictator was in jail here. The criminal complaint was announced nearly three and a half years after Judge William M. Hoeveler first learned that CNN had obtained tape recordings of General Noriega's telephone conversations. The calls involved his lawyers and members of their staffs, former military subordinates, his family and his mistress and her family. The network eventually surrendered the tapes, but only after broadcasting excerpts for two days and fighting all the way to the Supreme Court.

The General Motors Corporation said yesterday that it would take a charge of $758 million, or $1.05 a share, in the first quarter because of the adoption of new accounting standards. Despite the charge, North American operations of the company are still expected to show a profit for 1994, said G. Richard Wagoner Jr., executive vice president and chief financial officer. The noncash charge is related to the adoption of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, which affects extended disability benefits to United States workers.
