15 Top Journalists Object to Gulf War Curbs

Editors from 15 major American news organizations complained to Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney today that the Pentagon had exercised "virtual total control" over the American press during the Persian Gulf war and said they would press for more open coverage of future military operations. "Virtually all major news organizations agree that the flow of information to the public was blocked, impeded or diminished by the policies and practices of the Department of Defense," the news executives for newspapers, magazines, news services and broadcast networks said in a letter. "These conditions meant we could not tell the public the full story of those who fought the nation's battle."

With a bitterly passionate attack on the press, John J. Santucci of Queens confirmed to his staff yesterday that he was stepping down as Queens District Attorney after 14 years. Mr. Santucci, whose plan to retire on June 1 was disclosed by state officials on Wednesday, spent almost half of his 40-minute address to his subordinates denouncing news articles, columns and editorials that he said had unjustifiably maligned his integrity and questioned his performance and that of his office.

Beginning in July, Times Mirror Magazines will contribute to environmental education causes a portion of its revenues from ads that include an environmental message. At a news conference yesterday, Francis P. Pandolfi, president and chief executive of Times Mirror Magazines, said the company would donate 2.5 percent of the net revenues from advertisements that focus on the environment or contain a short environmental message. Mr. Pandolfi, who was accompanied by the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, William K. Reilly, and the Under Secretary of the Interior, Frank A. Bracken, said the plan included all nine of Times Mirror's magazines. 'Green Marketing' Movement The unusual commitment places Times Mirror Magazines, which publishes Field & Stream, Ski, Yachting and other outdoor magazines, in the forefront of the "green marketing" movement sweeping the magazine industry. Last year, Hearst Magazines donated all ad revenues from the first issue of Countryside to various land trusts, and hundreds of editorials, surveys and articles on the environment have appeared in publications across the board.

In one week, say students at the Horace Mann School in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, school officials censored their newspaper twice: first, by holding an article describing drugs on campus, and then by hiding all 1,000 copies of the newspaper after an article on censorship was substituted in its place. The first article, which would have appeared in the April 26 issue of The Record, described a survey taken last spring polling about 130 sophomore health students on their drug use. The survey and accompanying interviews with some of the school's 925 students concluded that drug use existed but was not widespread.

Hasbro Inc. said it expected to complete its $486 million takeover deal for the Tonka Corporation, a rival toy maker, by next Tuesday. It said that as of Monday, Tonka stockholders had pledged to sell 8.7 million shares to Hasbro. Tonka's bondholders have already agreed to the deal. Hasbro is expected to finance the acquisition entirely on its own, probably through borrowing in the public and private markets, including a certain amount of bank debt. An equity element is "under review," the company said.

The McDonnell Douglas Corporation said it would lay off 290 union employees in the first phase of dismissals attributed to the loss of the Navy advanced tactical fighter contract and declining orders for the F-15 fighter. The company said about 100 white-collar workers would also be laid off soon. The company dismissed about 5,600 workers in January after the Pentagon canceled the A-12 Avenger attack plane, but a spokesman said the current cuts would not approach the size of the January layoffs.
