BAD NEWS AT THE FINANCIAL TIMES

Date: 08 November 1981

By Steven Rattner

LONDON L ESS than a month ago, the Financial Times, perhaps best known for its distinctive salmon-pink paper, closed World Business Weekly, an American offshoot introduced on a shoestring in 1978 that had nonetheless piled up losses estimated in the millions. It was the latest reversal for a publishing company that once seemed to do most things right. A European edition, printed in Frankfurt and still undergoing editorial metamorphosis after nearly three years, is struggling to pay its way. And the newspaper itself, still more widely read in British corporate circles than any competitor, has slipped into the red for the first time since 1945. Last year, the Financial Times Group posted a loss of $320,000 before taxes and interest income. With aggressive belt-tightening, the group might move back into the black this year, but the results are not expected to approach the $5.5 million earned in 1979 before taxes, a level more typical of the company's performance.

PRESS GROUPS IN 19 COUNTRIES JOIN TO SET UP AN ASIAN NEWS NETWORK KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 6 (AP) - Twenty-three news agencies from 19 countries joined forces today to begin the Asia-Pacific News Network. The network immediately recommended that major international news agencies be allowed to distribute reports only through the national news agencies. ''The developing countries have been made victims of grossly distorted reporting, particularly by the Western mass media,'' Malaysia's Information Minister, Mohammad Rahmat, told delegates at the meeting of the Organization of Asia-Pacific News Agencies, which established the new network.

Jonathan Daniels, the former editor of The Raleigh (N.C.) News and Observer who served as press secretary to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and was an adviser to President Truman, died yesterday in Hilton Head Island, S.C., after a long illness. He was 79 years old. Mr. Daniels was also a prolific author, a consummate politician, a historian, a gourmet and a gadfly. It was he who disclosed that President Roosevelt had a love affair with his wife's former social secretary, Lucy Page Murcer. Mr. Daniels wrote briefly about the affair in 1954 in his book ''The End of Innocence.'' And he gave the details of the relationship in his 1966 book ''The Time Between the Wars.''

Mrs. Delia Odorra of Little Rock, Ark., wants someone to straighten her out about fundamentalists, extremists and fanatics. ''The news is filled nowadays with fundamentalists, extremists and fanatics, but the papers seem to use the words interchangeably,'' she writes. ''Am I wrong in thinking that fundamentalists, extremists and fanatics are actually three different breeds of cat?'' You are entirely correct, Mrs. Odorra. The distinctions are vividly illuminated by a news story from Schenectady about the troubles of a man named Jordan Clive who did not much care what brand of toothpaste he brushed with.

In two recent instances, President Reagan has removed himself from reality. He has denied the truth by blaming others for misinterpreting or misreporting what he and his closest aides have been saying. The first case began at his last news conference, over a month ago. He read a prepared statement unmistakably directed to Israel and its supporters opposing him on the Awacs sale: ''While we must always take into account the vital interests of our allies ... it is not the business of other nations to make American foreign policy.''

THE White House press office, obviously worried that rumpled journalists might turn up in inappropriate outfits, instituted an unusual dress code for President Reagan's speech last night before the American-Irish Historical Society at the Seventh Regiment Armory in Manhattan. All men were required to wear dark suits, and women were to be ''appropriately attired.'' Or else. It is the first edict in memory where guests were told what to wear outside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. A HIGHLY emotional dispute is shaping up on Capitol Hill over the import of a milk protein, casein, and efforts by the dairy lobby to place an import quota or tariffs on it. Hearings by the United States International Trade Commission are scheduled to start on Monday amid charges by groups such as the Capital Legal Foundation that import restrictions on casein would be ''inhumane in its impact on the economically needy.''

INQUIRY ON 'MESS' AT HOSPITAL PUTS EDITOR IN COURT

Date: 08 November 1981

AP

It started with an anonymous tip scribbled on a postcard: ''Why don't you check the mess in the hospital?'' The postcard was sent to Gerald Kelly, editor of The Grapevine, a small weekly newspaper in this island community off Cape Cod. He checked out the ''mess'' at Martha's Vineyard Hospital and soon found himself in the middle of a court battle over safeguarding a reporter's sources: his own. Mr. Kelly's year-long investigation centered on the appointment of Edward Hanify Jr. as chief administrator of the hospital in September 1979.

Canada's basic constitutional problem is back where it began - in French-speaking Quebec. For more than two centuries, the country has been wrestling with the seemingly intractable problem of how to accommodate its Frenchspeaking and English-speaking peoples under one roof. Yesterday a deal was struck on a new constitution that, instead of promoting unity, left Quebec out in the cold and once again made a breakup of the country possible. The agreement signed in Ottawa by Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, himself a Quebecer, and the Premiers of the nine predominantly English-speaking provinces will allow Canada to ask Britain to transform the British North America Act of 1867 into a purely Canadian constitution with the addition of a bill of rights and a procedure for amendments. The agreement was bitterly protested by Premier Rene Levesque of Quebec, who objected particularly to a clause in the bill of rights that would guarantee the right of the English-speaking minority in his province and French-speaking minorities elsewhere to education in their own languages.
