After more than eight months of talks with news organizations, the Pentagon today issued a set of principles intended to guarantee that journalists have greater access to military operations than they had in the Persian Gulf war. But the Government and the news media could not agree on whether there should be any official "security review" of news reports before they are published or broadcast.

Three weeks into its investigation of crimes committed in the Los Angeles riots, the Justice Department has conducted what experts call the most sweeping effort ever by prosecutors to obtain news tape and still photographs that have not been broadcast or published. The legal battle over the tapes could become an important factor in the efforts by courts to draw the line between the rights of a free press and the ability of prosecutors to investigate crimes.

From the state that brought you Jane Fonda, water bars and brown rice risotto comes a new, potentially alarming trend: the stump-free campaign. California has a primary election coming up in less than two weeks, and a historic one at that, with two open United States Senate seats. But you wouldn't know it from following many of the candidates around. They don't hold campaign rallies or make speeches or attend Kiwanis club luncheons. In fact, some of them don't even bother to put out campaign schedules.

Although the newspaper drivers' union rallied yesterday behind the unifying issue of amnesty for nine arrested union pickets, proposed new contracts continue to sharply divide many of the union's members from its leader. The unexpected emergence of the amnesty issue has provoked a stalemate between the union and its adversaries, The New York Times and a wholesale newspaper distributor.

A vote scheduled for today by newspaper delivery drivers to resolve a bitter two-week dispute with The New York Times and a newspaper wholesale distributor was unexpectedly postponed last night after a union meeting. Douglas LaChance, the union president, said the vote on new contracts was "aborted" because of the lingering issue of the fate of nine union pickets arrested on various charges when the dispute began two weeks ago. Labor leaders said a new vote could probably not be scheduled before next week.

On the morning that Newsday ran the front-page headline "No More Mr. Skinflint," heralding a report that Mayor David N. Dinkins gave more than $15,000 to charity last year, Leland T. Jones, the Mayor's press secretary, registered an objection to the backhanded reference to the Mayor's less substantial donations the year before. Before the reporters checked in for the day, Mr. Jones scurried down the hall from the Mayor's press office to Room 9, the cluttered quarters for the bulk of the city's press corps, and tacked a mock front page above the Newsday desk: "One More Cheap Shot," the headline read. A few days later, Mr. Jones, who served in the press office under Mayor Edward I. Koch, made the trip down the hall again, unprovoked this time. He was just keeping an eye on things. On his way into Room 9, he was spotted by Paul Schwartzman, a reporter for The New York Post.

When a suburban jury acquitted four Los Angeles police officers on nearly all charges of beating Rodney G. King three weeks ago, Chief Daryl F. Gates says, he was just as shocked as most other people who had followed the case. The Los Angeles police chief said that while he had thought the jury might acquit or deadlock on three of the officers he thought the officer who rained the most blows on the prone Mr. King, Laurence M. Powell, was certain to be convicted.

The ITT Hartford Insurance Group, citing a decline in profits from its property-casualty operations, reported a 5.9 percent drop in its first-quarter earnings today. The company, a subsidiary of the ITT Corporation, said first-quarter earnings fell to $128 million from $136 million a year earlier. ITT said net income from worldwide life insurance operations partly offset the decline in property-casualty earnings.
