The Pentagon is establishing a system for covering a war in the Persian Gulf that would impose much stricter restrictions on journalists than they were subjected to during the Vietnam War. Under the system, print and television combat coverage would be carried out exclusively through groups of reporters called pools that are assembled and escorted by the military. The reports would then be subject to a "security review" by the military before being disseminated in Riyadh, Dhahran and Washington, where they would become the basis for newspaper, news agency, magazine and television reports.

Executives of The Tribune in Oakland have asked 600 employees to take 11 percent pay cuts so it can meet this month's payroll, union officials said Friday. The Tribune's managing editor, Eric Newton, said the company and union officials had agreed not to discuss the proposal publicly. Union officials said the cuts would begin no later than Jan. 23 and affect about 600 employees, including management as well as union and nonunion workers. Workers who make less than $25,000 a year, including clerks and editorial assistants, would be exempt. An 11 percent pay cut would amount to a loss of $77.11 a week for top-scale employees who make $701 weekly and $55 for those who earn starting wages of $500. The union's contract expired a week ago and negotiations on a new pact are under way.

Times are tough for the newspaper industry. Advertising is in a slump some analysts are calling the worst in 20 years. Profits are down substantially at many papers. Vacancies are being left unfilled and budgets are being squeezed if not slashed. Almost everywhere -- especially in the Northeast, where papers have been hit hardest -- the mood is black. Perhaps because the business has been so lucrative for so long, the painful decline in advertising caught many in the industry unprepared, prompting a wave of anxiety about the future.

To the Editor: "William Seidman, chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, admitted that bank failures were far worse than he had previously predicted, and that the fund would reach unacceptably low levels" you state in "The Bad Bank News: Not That Bad" (editorial, Dec. 18). You then convey a tone of spurious optimism and an inappropriate sense of security, saying of Mr. Seidman in closing: "His message is calming." I have not felt calm since I read it. Everything you point out contradicts your conclusion and signals alarm, rather than reassurance: "In the worst of all outcomes, the taxpayers who are bailing out the savings and loan industry will be hit with another bailout. But that would be small by comparison, its price measured in tens, not hundreds, of billions." Mr. Seidman's fund "could be made whole with a modest transfer from taxpayers without undue harm to the economy. . . .There is now deposit insurance to give depositors ironclad protection and peace of mind." Isn't the breakdown of the "ironclad protection" what this is all about? We taxpayers may be hit mercilessly in the most serious dislocation of our banking system since 1929. You call Mr. Seidman's message calming? For whom? LYNNE HAWES Mount Kisco, N.Y., Dec. 20, 1990
