The McDonnell Douglas Corporation will pay the Federal Government $2.1 million to settle accusations involving payments for orders of an Army weapon, the Justice Department said yesterday. McDonnell did not tell the Army that the company would be reimbursed by a vendor for certain materials in the development of the shoulder-launched multipurpose assault weapon. This had the effect of increasing the prices to the Government. The company also failed to disclose a change in its subcontract with its main supplier that had produced thousands of dollars in savings for McDonnell, the department said. The settlement included $350,000 that the St. Louis military contractor had already paid in the same case.

ALL-NEWS radio stations in New York are hardly known for understatement. "You give us 22 minutes, we'll give you the world," boasts the long-running theme line of WINS-AM. This tradition of hyperbole continues with a new marketing battle under way for the ears of New York news junkies, led by the upstart Bloomberg News Radio 1130 AM, just as WINS-AM and WCBS-AM gear up their campaigns for the spring ratings sweep. The Bloomberg station, WBBR-AM, replaced the former big band music station, WNEW-AM, which was bought last fall for roughly $13.5 million by Michael Bloomberg, whose main business is providing financial data to traders and market watchers.
