El Daily News, the Spanish newspaper begun by The Daily News in June, published for the last time yesterday. Plagued by distribution difficulties, rising newsprint costs and anemic circulation, El Daily News was portrayed by Fred Drasner, the co-publisher of The Daily News, as one more problem for the company, which is building a new printing plant in Jersey City.

How quickly Gen. Colin L. Powell has disappeared from television and the news pages. The elite political observers who so confidently predicted he would run for President are now confidently making predictions about other things. What's surprising is not that he chose not to run but how close he came to running. He had never sought office, had not said he would run and had not asked anyone to drum up support for a candidacy. I am certainly familiar with the issues surrounding a candidacy: finding the much-touted "fire in the belly," which demands total emotional commitment every waking moment; throwing your privacy and your family's out the window, and establishing an effective political operation to raise enough money and attract thousands of committed volunteers.

The camera was in tight on Dutch Smith, a retired landfill worker with skin as wrinkled as a dried apricot. He sucked on a corncob pipe and unreeled stories of truckloads of old car-battery cases, medical waste and PCB-laden transformers being buried at a town dump in Orange County. "I'll tell you this," he said in the 1991 interview. "Anything you can name, from radioactive waste to hospital waste, you name it and it's in that landfill. And I know it's in there because I buried lots of it."

Compuserve Inc. said today that Time magazine had signed an exclusive agreement to leave America Online Inc. and join Compuserve, the No. 2 on-line service behind America Online. Time said it would create a news service on Compuserve early next year. The service will be continually updated during the day with breaking news and will include photos and graphics. Terms of the agreement were not available. The agreement is a coup for Compuserve, a unit of H & R Block Inc. that has 3.6 million customers. The switch marks the second time in six months that America Online has lost a news source to a rival on-line service. NBC left America Online earlier this year for the Microsoft Corporation's new on-line service.

Bayer A.G. said yesterday that it would pay about $580 million for a unit of the Monsanto Company that makes a type of plastics used in car dashboards, computer housings and refrigerator linings. Bayer, which is based in Leverkusen, Germany, already makes such plastics, called styrenics, in Europe, and the acquisition would add them to the line of plastics Bayer makes in the United States. The Monsanto styrenics business, which employs 1,400 people, is expected to have $700 million in sales this year. Monsanto, which is based in St. Louis, is moving away from producing chemicals and plastics and said in June that it was considering selling the styrenics business.

A Federal Bankruptcy Court approved reorganization plans yesterday under which Columbia Gas System Inc. and its pipeline subsidiary will emerge from more than four years of bankruptcy protection. Columbia Gas's chief financial officer, Michael W. O'Donnell, said a combined payout to creditors of $7.5 billion could begin as early as Nov. 27. Columbia Gas, based in Wilmington, Del., and its pipeline subsidiary, Columbia Gas Transmission, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July 1991 to escape gas-purchase contracts that were signed when gas prices were much higher. As part of the reorganization, the pipeline subsidiary worked out a $1.2 billion settlement with most of the gas suppliers, who had contended that their rejected contracts were worth as much as $25 billion.
