The new publisher of The Daily News has no plans to shut it down if it does not produce a profit by March, when labor contracts expire, he said last week. But he has told officials at the paper that one of his father's principal motivations in acquiring it was to make money, and that he expects the paper's unions to contribute toward that goal in negotiations next spring. Once he is confident that a profit will be reached, he said, he is prepared to make a significant investment in The News.

When the new publisher of The Daily News paid a visit to the paper yesterday morning, this Mr. Maxwell did not bring his butler, recite a poem to reporters or threaten to fire a subordinate. He didn't bellow the word "nonsense!" even once. What 32-year-old Kevin Maxwell did do was rush across the Atlantic on the Concorde yesterday morning to reassure the newspapers' managers, union leaders and employees -- without pomp or fanfare -- that he would not abandon the paper after his rumbustious father's sudden death at sea.

While family associates and lawyers had earlier insisted that they were not satisfied with a judge's verdict that Mr. Maxwell, who was 68 years old, died "a natural death," probably from a heart attack, today his widow, Elizabeth, said her husband's death had not been clarified.

International 3-19 NORTH KOREAN NUCLEAR PROGRAM Growing evidence about a mysterious nuclear complex is heightening concerns that North Korea may be closer to producing a crude nuclear weapon than anyone thought just a year ago. Page 1 Agreements against the spread of nuclear weapons show flaws. 10 BUSH ORDERS YUGOSLAV SANCTIONS Hoping to pressure Yugoslav republics to stop their civil war, President Bush said the United States would order economic sanctions against Belgrade and call on the United Nations to impose an oil embargo. 1 Some economists and diplomats doubt sanctions will work. 16 HEAD OF K.G.B. PLANS CUTBACKS The new chairman of the Soviet intelligence and security agency said the number of agents abroad should be cut at least by half. 3 VIOLENCE AT A SOUTH AFRICAN MINE New violence linked to a two-day national strike earlier in the week erupted at a gold mine in South Africa, leaving 22 mine workers dead and 51 others injured. 7 HONG KONG TO CONTINUE EXPULSIONS Hong Kong officials said they would continue repatriation flights like the one on which 59 boat people were forcibly returned to Vietnam. 11 FUNDING RESETTLEMENT OF REFUGEES The United Nations official charged with caring for the world's 17 million refugees hopes to persuade wealthy Persian Gulf states to help pay the costs of resettlement. 14 Food is plentiful in Iraq for those who can pay for it. 14 PRIVATIZATION IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA In a program to privatize the pillars of Czechoslovakia's economy, citizens are buying $30 books of coupons convertible into shares. 17 Nicaragua is seeking to mollify former contras who have rearmed. 9 A book by a Chinese emigre in New York is the talk of Beijing. 13 National 22-38 DUKE, THEN AND NOW David Duke, a white supremacist and anti-Semite for most of his adult life, stands a good chance of being elected governor of Louisiana next Saturday. 1 The elections of Tuesday exposed weaknesses for Bush. 26 A PROMISE AT RISK California, the state with the largest system of higher education, may no longer be able to afford a longtime implied promise: a high-quality and low-cost public college education for every resident who wants one. 1 Tuskegee University opened a huge fund drive. 36 FOR SALE: HUMAN EGGS Some medical centers have begun offering infertile couples a new but very expensive option: lists of healthy young women who, for a fee, will provide eggs that can be fertilized and then implanted in an infertile woman's womb. 1 A SMALL BUT FORMIDABLE FOE Many California farmers are besieged by the poinsettia variety of sweet potato whitefly, whose damaging appetite may soon be reflected in higher produce prices. 22 NO TO BARE-BONES POLICIES A major push by health insurers to provide affordable coverage for millions of uninsured workers is running into unexpected trouble: Employers are not buying. 22 TOUGH TIMES AT THE CAPITOL New analysis: It has been a tough few weeks for Congressional committees, and little wonder.

Court Approves Russ Togs Loan

Date: 09 November 1991

By Bloomberg Business News

Bloomberg News

A judge said yesterday that Russ Togs Inc., the New York clothing maker that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy court protection Thursday, could use a $5.5 million bank loan to finance its day-to-day operations while reorganizing its debts. Judge Prudence Abrams approved the loan from the Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company in United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of N.Y. She scheduled another hearing on Russ Togs for Nov. 21. The loan is considered debtor-in-possession financing, which means it is senior to Russ Togs' other debts. Manufacturers Hanover is also the lead bank for Russ Togs' $63 million bank loan. Russ Togs, which makes the Diane Von Furstenberg and other lines, filed for protection from creditors after banks demanded that their loans be repaid and suppliers refused to ship fabrics. On the New York Stock Exchange, Russ Togs shares gained 3/16 each yesterday, closing at $1.125.
