Mr. Caldwell said yesterday that he was dismissed Tuesday by Arthur Browne, editor of the editorial page, in a heated dispute over the column, which named the officer and said he was "still on the job" despite an inquiry more than a year old. The column said the victims were black and quoted a lawyer and a minister as saying they suspected a racially motivated police coverup in the case.

The Fibreboard Corporation said yesterday that its board had rejected the new bid of $45 a share for the company submitted by a group led by the financier Carl Pohlad.
