O.K., maybe The Elizabeth Reporter has been a bit rough on the city's Mayor, J. Christian Bollwage. Earlier this year, for example, Mayor Bollwage was furious when he was called a "kraut" in the weekly paper. "Allegedly, he was called a kraut," Bob Griffith, a staff reporter, and also a former City Council President, protested. "Actually, the word was used in a letter to the editor." Apparently, the offensive term slipped through on deadline.

The Unocal Corporation said yesterday that it would sign an agreement with the former Soviet republic of Turkmenistan as a first step in an $18 billion project to transport natural gas and oil across Afghanistan to Pakistan. The company, which is also involved in an $8 billion oil development in nearby Azerbaijan, said the project would unlock huge gas reserves in Turkmenistan that the republic developed and has not sold. Unocal and its partner, Delta Oil Company of Saudi Arabia, will spend $10 million during the next year on engineering and marketing studies to determine where a pipeline could be built and who would buy the gas. An agreement on that will be signed with the Government today in New York. But analysts noted that the project faced many risks. There is no agreement with Afghanistan, and the country's mountainous territory would make building a pipeline difficult.

Dime Bancorp Inc., parent company of the Dime Savings Bank of New York, said yesterday that its board had approved a "poison pill," a measure that can make a hostile takeover prohibitively expensive.

"It was designed to deter any abusive takeover tactics that might be used in the future," said James Large Jr., Dime chairman.
