SOME CHAINS PLAN POOLING FOR THREE EVENTS

Date: 19 April 1984

By Jonathan Friendly

Some newspaper chains are pooling the resources of their individual papers to cover three back-to-back major events this summer: the Democratic National Convention, the Summer Olympics and the Republican National Convention. The joint efforts arise from logistical problems, such as the limited number of press credentials available for the Olympics, and economic considerations, including the budget strain of keeping extra hands available in the often dull news days of July and August. The Knight-Ridder chain is budgeting $4,000 in expenses for each reporter it will have at the Olympics, and that does not include such costs as the $720 to install a telephone or $300 for a parking permit. In some cases, the decision to combine forces has been taken by editors who usually resist any step that emphasizes news-gathering links between the chain's individual newspapers.

Secretary of State George P. Shultz said today that President Reagan might still conclude a nuclear power agreement with China when he visits next week despite difficulties in the negotiations in recent weeks. Talks on such an agreement have been snagged on Washington's demand for safeguards using nuclear fuel from other countries in any American-built reactor. The Chinese object to any such demands as an infringement on their sovereignty.

Two unarmed United States Army helicopters, one of them carrying two American Senators, made forced landings today after coming under fire on a flight over Honduras near the border with El Salvador, Congressional and Administration officials reported. They said the entire party was rescued without injury. The two Senators, Lawton Chiles of Florida and J. Bennett Johnston of Lousiana, both Democrats, were on a trip to inspect a Salvadoran refugee camp when two UH-1H helicopters carrying their party made forced landings under fire. The Salvadoran guerrilla radio, monitored in San Salvador, said the helicopters were fired upon by rebel antiaircraft units after they crossed the border into Salvadoran territory, United Press International reported tonight from San Salvador.

CHEMICAL ARMS MUST BE BANNED

Date: 20 April 1984

By Kenneth L. Adelman

Kenneth Adelman

Vice President Bush unveiled in Geneva this week a United States proposal for a comprehensive worldwide ban on chemical weapons. Moscow promptly labeled the proposal - described by Pravda earlier in the week as a lot of ''noise'' - a propaganda ploy containing ''patently unacceptable conditions for verification.'' No doubt about it: Chemical weapons pose some of the most confounding verification problems encountered in the vast realm of arms control. Kenneth L. Adelman is the director of the Arms Control and Disarmanent Agency. For this very reason, the United States will be seeking some new and rather bold approaches, including an ''open invitation'' for international inspection on short notice of all military and government-controlled facilities. Overcoming the problems of verification is essential. Arms control is empty without compliance, and compliance without verification, particularly in a closed society, is impossible to establish. A ban on chemical weapons honored by open societies and violated by closed societies would be no ban at all. It would be unilateral disarmament in the guise of multilateral arms control.

NEW NATO OFFER TO REDUCE TROOPS IS MADE IN VIENNA

The United States and its allies presented a new approach to the Soviet bloc in Vienna today in hopes of breaking a long deadlock in the talks on reducing conventional forces in central Europe, Administration officials said. The new plan, which took months to work out within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, no longer insists that the two sides agree on how many troops they now have in the region. For years, the Warsaw Pact nations insisted that they had 170,000 fewer ground forces than the West counted. Under the new approach, which was proposed informally today and is to be made known officially Thursday, the West is asking for rough agreement only on the size of combat troops and combat support forces. Rear logistical forces need not be counted in the initial stages, the American officials said.

PAPER GOES SEMI-WEEKLY

Next week Advertising Age, the bible of the advertising industry and the flagship of Crain Communications, will make what could be the most risky move in its history. Hoping to expand its circulation and its advertising revenue, the weekly Ad Age will increase its frequency to twice a week. The change comes at a critical time for the magazine and its parent company. The challenge from Ad Week, a five-year-old competitor, is growing stronger. And the editorial staff, already divided by bickering between the New York and Chicago factions, is churning after the abrupt dismissal three weeks ago of its editor. Expansion Plans In addition, the company, which is considering such new ventures as the start-up of a business magazine in Detroit and the purchase of a sizable stake in the Washington Journalism Review, can ill afford a false move at Ad Age. And many of Ad Age's readers are wondering about the need for increasing the magazine's frequency.
