International Secretary of State George P. Shultz reacted angrily on the issue of terrorism during a visit to Belgrade after the Yugoslav Foreign Minister had commented about the October hijacking of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro, in which an American was killed. Foreign Minister Raid Dizdarevic had said at a news conference that, although Yugoslavia condemned terrorism, ''one must also view the causes that lead to it.'' Mr. Shultz pounded the table and said, ''There must be no place to hide for people who do that kind of thing.''

The resolution, initiated by the United States and co-sponsored by Australia, Britain, Denmark, Egypt, France and Peru, is unusual in that it has the support of the Soviet Union. The resolution urges all countries to strengthen measures to ''facilitate the prevention, prosecution and punishment of all acts of hostage-taking and abduction as manifestations of international terrorism.'' It also calls upon all countries where hostages are held to take all appropriate measures to win their safe release and to prevent hostage-taking in the future.
