DAILY NEWS EDITOR VOWS EFFORTS TO HALT QUESTIONABLE REPORTING
Date: 10 May 1981
By Robert D. McFadden

The editor of The Daily News said Saturday that a growing number of questionable journalistic practices, including the use of a pseudonym that led to the resignation of Michael Daly, a News columnist, on Friday, were ''obviously injurious to the credibility of newspapers.'' Michael J. O'Neill, editor and executive vice president of The News, who was elected president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors at its annual convention last month in Washington, said that tighter enforcement of existing editing standards was ''urgently needed'' and would be applied at his paper. ''We, and perhaps some other newspapers, have allowed some of these young reporters and columnists too much freedom and have probably not supervised them as closely as we should have,'' Mr. O'Neill said in an interview. He added: ''I think, first of all, that one of the faults on our part was to have been too permissive at the editing level about what went in and what did not go in. And secondly, people like me were less alert than we could have been.''

He's had a distinguished career as an actor and radio and television announcer, and he's been active in Catholic charities, but Ed Herlihy says he needed the intercession of a Jewish businessman to line up an honorary degree from a Catholic University. The way Mr. Herlihy tells it, he was at the bar in the Friars Club a few months ago when his friend, Jerome Feniger, a radio-television executive, introduced him to Martin Healy, a vice president of St. John's University, with the words, ''Here's a nice ex-altar boy you should honor at your next graduation.''

DAYS IN THE LIVES OF 2 WOMEN WHO SERVE MRS. REAGAN SHEILA P. TATE, PRESS SECRETARY
Date: 10 May 1981

The limousine carrying the two women purred through the streets. There were possibly one or two spectators who didn't recognize Nancy Reagan, and there were possibly an equal number who did recognize her companion. That's the way it goes with press secretaries. Sheila Patton Tate is press secretary to the First Lady. She got married to William Tate, an insurance man, the week before last and took a three-day honeymoon. That's also the way it goes with press secretaries. She was in her office shortly after 7 A.M. when she returned last week, which wasn't unusual because she's almost always in by 7.30 A.M. and doesn't leave until 6.30 P.M. - when there is nothing special going on.

In November 1979, Andrei A. Gromyko, the first Soviet Foreign Minister to visit Madrid, reportedly made an extraordinary private offer to his Spanish counterpart at the time, Marcelino Oreja. If Spain discontinued its plans to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Mr. Gromyko reportedly said, the Soviet Union would be prepared to help in combating Spain's most trying domestic problem, terrorism. But, according to Spanish officials, Mr. Gromyko also implied that a decision to go forward with NATO membership might leave Spain's young democracy vulnerable to more terrorist actions. Soviet Aid to E.T.A. Hinted Even before Mr. Gromyko issued this reported threat, some Spanish politicians and intelligence officials were convinced that Moscow was assisting the Basque terrorist group E.T.A., a Marxist-Leninist organization whose avowed aim is to create an independent, socialist Basque nation. Former Prime Minister Adolfo Suarez, who resigned in January, was among the most convinced.

While public attention has focused on the budget battle that dominated both houses of Congress last week, another series of skirmishes has been taking place in committee rooms all over Capitol Hill. Within the broad guidelines established by the budget, lawmakers are now starting to fill in the blanks, setting priorities as to how and where the mandated savings can be made. That process will accelerate in the coming weeks, but a trend is already noticeable. Most lawmakers seem ready to reject extreme views, proposals that would trim programs more severely, or less severely, than President Reagan has recommended.
