1966, until the end of 1968, when The Globe cut its ownership to 10 percent. In January, 1972, WJIB was sold to General Electric, and in January, 1974 The Globe sold its remaining interests to Kaiser. The now-defunct Herald Traveler which published the old Herald and Traveler newspapers, also owned old WHDH-TV (Ch. 5), and radio stations WHDH AM and FM. The FCC took the TV license away from the newspaper in January, 1972, after a lengthy battle, beginning with the January, 1969 award of the license to Boston Broad- casters, current owner and operator of WCVB-TV (Ch.

5). A March, 1972 appeal of the TV license switch failed, and the news- paper corporation was dissolved the following June, with the two radio stations being sold to the John Blair of New York, current owner. The Federal court ruling came on a petition from the National Citizens Committee for Broadcasting, which has campaigned vigorously against combined, concentrated ownership of broadcast facilities. The court was told that in 1975 some 79 television-newspaper cross-ownerships existed, and that there was an unknown number of newspaper-radio combination ownerships. New England newspapers involved seemed, in general, to regard the ruling as a long-range problem, in view of the court's advice that they argue that combinations- are in the public interest.

1:33 PM First Quarter Mir. 27; 5:27 PM: By Robert A. McLean Globe Staff New England newspapers which own television and radio stations in the same city in which they publish are taking a wait-and-see attitude to a Federal court order that they eventually must divest themselves of the broadcast properties. A Portland, Maine television station and six radio station operations in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Maine currently are owned by newspapers. Most have declined comment until their legal departments have secured and studied the complete text of the ruling made in Washington Tuesday by the US Court of Appeals.

Guy Gannett Publishing which prints the Portland, Maine Press Herald and Express, also owns WGAN-TV (Ch. 13), and radio stations WGAN AM and FM, through the Guy Gannett Broadcasting Services. The Portland company also owns WHYN-TV (Ch. 40), and radio stations WHYN AM and FM in Springfield, Mass, which are not affected by the court ruling. "Divestiture in Portland would not create an environment more competitive than it is today," John R.

DiMatteo, Gannett Publishing's general manager said. "There is vigorous competition for the reading and viewing public. We compete for advertising, and our editorial judgments are completely separate." The court ruling, which overturned a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulation allowing cross-ownership, called on the FCC to set up mechanisms for divestiture. The court concluded that such divestiture was required "except in those cases where the evidence clearly discloses a cross-ownership is in the public interest." Worcester radio station WTAG, one of the oldest stations in the nation, is owned by the Worcester Telegram and Gazette, publisher of the major newspaper in central Massachusetts, mornings, evenings and Sundays. WTAG general manager Richard F.

Wright, a vice president for radio of the parent firm, said the court order "is vague and needs further clarification. I don't really understand what they mean by 'public interest' he said. Wright noted that WTAG has been on the air for 50 years "and our prime reason "There is vigorous competition for the reading and viewing public. We compete for advertising and our editorial judgments are completely separate." John R. DiMatteo Guy Gannett Co.

i for being in business is to serve the people." He said the station devotes much programming to public service, and "the only reason we can do it is because it's part of a larger corporation." Brockton's daily newspaper, the Enterprise Times, owns and operates WBET radio station. A spokesman for the Charles Fuller family, which publishes the paper, said executives would comment after reading the decision in full. In Northampton, Peter DeRose, with his brother, Charles, co-publisher of the Hampshire Gazette, said the two brothers also own radio station WHMP jointly, but separate from their newspaper holdings, as the Pioneer Valley Broadcasting Co "We won't comment until we get a copy of the ruling and study it," DeRose said. The Providence Journal which publishes the Journal and Bulletin in that Rhode Island capital, also owns radio station WEAN, another of the pioneer radio stations of the 1920s, which it acquired in the early 1940s. The Journal-Bulletin also owns WPJB-FM, which it purchased in the late 1940s.

A Journal-Bulletin spokesman said yesterday the firm was still seeking a complete text of the ruling, and would withhold comment until its legal department could study it. WWON, AM and FM, in Woonsocket, R.I., is owned by the Woonsocket Call newspapers. A company spokesman said yesterday the matter was being considered by management. No Boston television or radio station is owned by a Hub newspaper. The Globe Newspaper Co.

La. school plan complex Associated Press LOS ANGELES The Los Angeles Board of Education has approved a complex school integration plan that includes a one-year moratorium bn forced busing and short rides for those who are bused. The plan adopted piecemeal during an 8'2-hour session yesterday would provide all students with at least two years in "an integrated educational experience," permit parents to have some say in how integration is achieved and cost one-tenth less than first thought.

He had a finesse in each black suit, and the contract was safe if either finesse worked. South took the first diamond with the ace and led a trump. West grabbed the ace of hearts and returned the jack of diamonds to dummy's king. South drew trumps and tried the spade finesse, los-: ing to the king. West happily cashed a diamond trick, and now the contract depended on the club finesse.

When this lost, South had given up a trick in each suit. Down one. South made his mistake when he assumed that a finesse was going to work. No such assumption is necessary. Declarer should take the ace of diamonds, cash the ace of spades and give up a spade trick.

He wins the diamond return in dummy and cashes the queen of spades to get rid of a diamond. Having disposed of his diamond loser, South can afford to lose a spade, a trump and a club.

The four young men ceremoniously gave up their weapons a shotgun, a pistol and a samurai sword and released the last two of 12 men and women they held captive during their long, confused protest i against moral and economic corruption.

They fired several shots into the ceiling after invading the 14-story headquarters of Keidanren, the Federation of Economic Organizations and Japan's equivalent of the National Association of Manufacturers. No one was hurt during the siege. The hostages told reporters their captors behaved like gentlemen. After leaving the barricaded seventh-floor office, the four, dressed in conservative business suits and neckties and wearing headbands emblazoned with the Japanese rising sun emblem, bowed to police. "We are sorry to have bothered you," their leader said.

Mrs. Mishima talked with the raiders by telephone for more than three hours. She said she told them her husband, who committed ritual suicide in 1970 after failing to incite a military uprising, would not have approved their actions. Soviets link dissidents US diplomats as spies Associated Press MOSCOW The Soviet government newspaper Izvestia linked Russian dissidents and American diplomats and journalists today in what is called a major US spy ring in Moscow. Izvestia presented diagrams of an alleged system for relaying secret messages and printed an open letter from S.

L. Lipavsky, formerly an active Soviet dissident and now purportedly repentant for his links to US intelligence. Lipavsky's letter claimed Alexander Lerner, a leading Soviet dissident, and Vitaly Rubin and David Azbel who have since emigrated, headed a ring of dissenters that received "solid material help" from 'foreign bosses." It said Americans who had associated themselves with the group included Melvin Levitsky, a first secretary at the American embassy in Moscow who has since been transferred back to Washington; Joseph A. Presel, currently a member of the embassy's political section, and Alynn J. Nathanson, who worked in the smbassy until last fall when she resigned from the foreign service.

Italian air crash kills 44 United Press International PISA, Italy Officials today searched for the black box flight recorder aboard an Italian air force transport plane to determine why the craft smashed into a mountainside killing 44 persons. They said the weather was calm and clear, except for some ground-level fog, whtin the US-made Hercules C130 transport plane hit Mt. Serra moments after takeoff yesterday. The pilot, described as one of the country's most experienced, did not report any trouble in a brief radio conversation before the crash.
