'TICKET TO SEOUL,' JOURNALISTS' FREE TRIP
Date: 16 May 1985
By Walter Goodman
Walter Goodman
WHEN Kenneth Ellis, a producer at KQED, a public television station in San Francisco, was invited to a two-week, all-expenses-paid trip to Asia by the World Media Association, an arm of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church, he asked himself, ''Why would the Moonies take journalists to Asia?'' So, Mr. Ellis relates in a rather self-satisified way at the outset of ''Ticket to Seoul,'' he decided to go on the trip but pay his own way. The documentary, on Channel 13 tonight at 10 o'clock on the ''Intercom'' series, is the result. The tour took Mr. Ellis and a cameraman to a refugee camp on the Thai-Cambodian border for Cambodians on the run from their Vietnam-controlled regime; to the Phillipines, where we hear from opponents of the Government of President Ferdinand E. Marcos as well as its supporters; to Taiwan, where we witness signs of industrial activity and military readiness; to Tokyo, where Mr. Ellis surmises that he wasn't invited to see Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone because ''we had declared our ideological independence by paying our own way,'' and finally to South Korea and the demilitarized zone, where the camera plays on a North Korean soldier whose hand keeps fidgeting in the vicinity of his holster.

Date: 16 May 1985
By Nicholas D. Kristof
Nicholas
The Bankers Trust Company cut its prime lending rate yesterday by half a percentage point, to 10 percent. The move, which analysts expect other major banks to follow soon, means that the prime rate will be at its lowest level since 1978. This should provide a boost to the economy and make it easier for many businesses and debtor nations to repay their loans.

The Tribune Company yesterday joined the parade of companies making media acquisitions, announcing that it had agreed to purchase KTLA-TV, an independent station in Los Angeles, for $510 million in cash. The price is the highest ever for a single television station. The previous record had been the $450 million that the Hearst Corporation agreed last week to pay to Rupert Murdoch and Marvin Davis for WCVB-TV in Boston, which is part of a package of seven stations that Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Davis are buying from Metromedia Inc. The Tribune Company, which owns The Daily News and WPIX-TV in New York, is buying KTLA from a group led by Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts & Company, a New York investment concern. The group acquired the station two years ago for $245 million in a leveraged buyout that included KTLA's management.

Ari Goldman
Like a minister preaching to a congregation that has strayed, the new chief executive of the National Council of Churches told its governing board today that the council had to confess its organizational sins and mend its ways. Only then could the council get on with the task of reorganizing itself, said the Rev. Arie R. Brouwer, who has been general secretary of the council since January. In his address today and in a news conference that followed, the 49-year-old executive reaffirmed the council's programs of social action but said the council needed to reorganize in terms of Christian worship, ecumenism and financial accountability.

DEMOCRATIC PANEL IS FORMED TO LURE VOTERS BACK TO PARTY
Date: 16 May 1985
By Phil Gailey, Special To the New York Times
Phil Gailey
Democratic leaders unveiled a policy commission today to guide the party's search for a new message and image as it struggles to regain voters lost to the Republican Party in recent election years. At a news conference to announce the new panel's membership and plans, Paul G. Kirk Jr., chairman of the Democratic National Committee, predicted that the new Democratic Policy Commission would be able to work in harmony with an independent policy council formed earlier this year by disenchanted Democratic officeholders. Mr. Kirk said the commission, which is headed by former Gov. Scott Matheson of Utah and loaded with elected officials, would attempt to ''set a tone'' for the national party that would be an asset to Democratic candidates in the 1986 and 1988 elections.
