A week after The Daily News renewed publishing with its union workers, the paper's new owner, Robert Maxwell, and union leaders agree that the paper still faces serious production and distribution problems. But both union leaders and Mr. Maxwell said the problems were an inevitable part of adjusting to a new way of doing things with fewer people.

Striking reporters returned to work at The Daily News last week, and in some sense New York's newspapers returned to their roots -- their early 19th-century roots, as recalled by the historian Augustus Maverick: "When two editors differed, one shot the other, quietly, in a duel; or else there was a lively horsewhipping scene in the public streets, a full description of which appeared on the following day, in the newspapers owned by the horsewhipped men."

Lee Kuan Yew, the former prime minister of Singapore, seems to have convinced Dow Jones & Co. that athletics is not the only undertaking that involves a home court advantage. Back in 1987, Mr. Lee didn't like something he read in Dow Jones's Far Eastern Economic Review. He sued for libel in Singapore and was awarded a judgment in 1989. Dow Jones appealed, and Mr. Lee cross appealed. Then Peter K. Kann, the president of Dow Jones, issued a statement asserting that the judgment was unwarranted. Mr. Lee said he took this to mean that Mr. Kann was accusing him of improperly influencing the trial judge, and he promptly filed three more libel suits against Dow Jones publications in Malaysian and Singaporean courts. Last week, Dow Jones threw in the towel. Mr. Kann issued a statement saying he "never meant to defame Mr. Lee in any way." Mr. Lee dropped his pending libel suits, Dow Jones dropped its appeal, the original judgment stands, and Dow Jones will pay Mr. Lee's legal fees.

A Federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order against Newsday, Long Island's only islandwide daily newspaper, saying that one of its advertising promotions may violate Federal and state antitrust laws. The order, by Judge Leonard D. Wexler of the Eastern District, bars Newsday from offering the promotion until the case can be heard. It offered automobile dealerships free advertising space if they promised to advertise only with Newsday.

To the Editor: While Caryn James was on the subject of women with children who anchor network news broadcasts [ "What's a Mother to Do?," March 17 ] , why not mention Barbara Walters, longtime co-anchor of "20/20," or Carole Simpson, anchor of ABC's weekend news shows? Both are mothers and have been for decades. Neither has asked for special dispensation, nor do their television personae have anything to do with the fact that they are also mothers. Ms. James's article perpetuates the myth that women are biological time bombs waiting to explode in the faces of their employers. Instead, she might have emphasized the fact that, like women in other fields, women in television have varying ways of combining their careers and their families.

To the Editor: Please, please, please do a story on male television reporters and how much time they do or don't spend with their children (complete with chart showing the number of children they have). Only when social expectations pressure men to spend time with their children -- necessitating their cutting back on work time -- will women have the same freedom without losing credibility on their jobs. Kids need their fathers, too, you know. CYNTHIA HARRISON Washington

In Malcolm W. Browne's excellent article, "The Military vs. the Press" (March 3), one misconception should be corrected. The panel chaired by retired Maj. Gen. Winant Sidle in 1984 did not conclude that future wars should be covered by pools of reporters. The panel had been convened in response to protests about the blackout of the press during the Grenada invasion. General Sidle, who had been chief of Army information in South Vietnam, told the commission, of which I was a member, that he believed that reporters and photographers should have access to any battlefield "to the maximum degree possible," so long as the military mission was not compromised or the safety of the troops endangered.
