Yesterday, as Daily News reporters and editors packed up their notebooks and personal treasures, the memories came back: The clatter of presses and acrid perfume of printer's ink. The pressmen with smudged faces and paper hats imbibing at Louie's East and other neighborhood saloons. Researchers answering hundreds of thousands of visitors' questions a year. Santa Claus in the lobby at Christmas. After 65 years and billions of papers, The Daily News is to move today from the landmark Art Deco skyscraper it built in 1930 at 42d Street and Second Avenue. On Monday, when the move is complete, some 500 news employees will occupy a single floor in an office building at 33d Street and 10th Avenue.

Rupert Murdoch won a big victory today in his two-year wrestling match with regulators as the Federal Communications Commission decided that his company was in violation of foreign ownership laws but gave it a clear road map for getting an exception to the rules. In a 5-to-0 vote, the commission concluded that Mr. Murdoch's Australian-based company, the News Corporation, was in technical violation of the law limiting foreign ownership of American broadast stations. The News Corporation owns 99 percent of the equity in eight television stations that were acquired 10 years ago and became the nucleus of the Fox television network.

By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
Dickstein Partners Inc. offered to buy the Hills Stores Company yesterday for $25 a share in cash, or $242 million. Dickstein, an investment firm in New York, already owns 10 percent of Hills, a discount retailer based in Canton, Mass. Dickstein has struggled with the management of Hills since last summer to find ways to raise the company's stock price, and has failed in attempts to gain control of the board and force a buyback of Hills shares. Dickstein now says it is concerned about the company's plans to accelerate its expansion. "Our interest is no longer in influencing the existing management but in forcing the sale of the company," Mark Dickstein, the firm's president, said. Shares of Hills, which said it was reviwewing the offer, rose $2.875, to $23.50, on the New York Stock Exchange.
