The Daily News, headquartered at 220 East 42d Street since 1930, is in negotiations for space across town, real-estate industry sources say. The News's lease for the last two floors it occupies in the 37-floor Art Deco tower on the corner of Second Avenue is up next summer, and discussions are being held with the managers of the Hancock Building, at 450 West 33d Street, near 10th Avenue.

Angry over an inaccurate news report about the O. J. Simpson murder case, Judge Lance Ito has suggested that he may not allow cameras at the trial. The law gives the judge broad power to forbid or control courtroom cameras, but it would be most unfortunate for justice if he let his anger decide the issue. This celebrated case, however much glitz has attached to it, needs to be televised. With or without camera coverage of the trial, the Simpson case is plagued by global attention and pretrial publicity that complicates the process of picking an impartial jury. The fame of the accused and the grisly killings of his former wife Nicole and her friend Ronald Goldman make widespread coverage inevitable regardless of how the courtroom action is covered. But even the inaccurate and damaging news stories argue for camera coverage, not against.

It's a rough year for Democrats, for incumbents and for politics generally. Gov. Mario Cuomo finds "a harshness and a negativism and a fear out there." So do candidates elswehere; this campaign seems animated most not by a particular issue but by a sullen, surly mood. The hostility worsens steadily. When University of Michigan scholars asked people in 1964, "How much of the time do you trust the Government in Washington to do what's right?" 76 percent said most or all of the time. When the question was asked in 1992, only 29 percent said so. "People talk as though our political system had been taken over by alien beings," the authors of a Kettering Foundation report found in 1991. A recent New York Times/CBS poll asked whether members of Congress deserve re-election. Only 13 percent of the public said yes.

THE DAY she threw the wad of tape back at the football player, Kristin Huckshorn knew it was time to get out. Athletes had often lobbed missiles at her and made remarks, but she had assumed it was their quaint way of expressing befuddlement at seeing a female reporter in the locker room. Now she had to move on. Huckshorn became a news reporter for The San Jose Mercury News in 1988, and recently she became the first American certified as a foreign correspondent by the postwar Vietnamese Government.

With advertising returning to newspapers in most parts of the country, much of the financial news for the American newspaper industry is good. But the stock market does not seem to have noticed. The share prices of most big newspaper companies have remained listless recently.

Japanese stocks were barely lower here today. Midway through the afternoon trading session, the Nikkei index of 225 issues was down 10.00 points, or one-twentieth of 1 percent, to stand at 19,959.29. More notable than stock-market trading, though, was a heavy beating being taken here by the dollar against major currencies. It plunged after the election victory on Sunday by Chancellor Helmut Kohl's Government in Germany prompted a rise in the value of the mark and led the yen, the British pound and the Swiss franc all higher.

To the Editor: This year there is an independent candidate in the race in Manhattan's 14th Congressional District. I am on the ballot on the Green Party line. In a time when polls show serious dissatisfaction with politics as usual, I am trying to challenge the corrupt system of big-money politics.
