GRIT, PRINTING 'GOOD NEWS,' FIGHTS FOR LIFE

Date: 22 August 1982

AP

The newspaper Grit turned a troubled 100 years old last month, beset by declining circulation and rising costs that could spell bad news for the nation's biggest ''good news'' paper. Largely unknown in big cities, the tabloid weekly offers family features with such titles as ''Twins: Twice the Fun for Mom and Dad,'' ''Old Grape Juice Provokes Barnyard Uproar'' and ''Indiana Cop Uses Puppets to Solve Crimes,'' along with recipes, dress patterns and advertisements for mail order products, farm equipment and health aids. Grit's contents have remained relatively unchanged since Dietrick Lamade, a 23-year-old German-born printer, took over the paper in 1884, two years after it was first published. No one is sure where the paper got its name, says James Crossley, its president. ''We think it comes from the old American 'stick to it' fortitude,'' he said. ''It means 'true grit.' ''

LISBON PRESS AGENCY PLAN CAUSES STIR

Date: 22 August 1982

Special to the New York Times

Prime Minister Francisco Pinto Balsemao is seeking to to replace the national press agency, ANOP, with an independent cooperative news agency free of state control. But the effort is opposed by Portugal's President, Antonio Ramalho Eanes, and a number of journalistic groups, which question whether the new agency would actually be free of Government control. The decree to close ANOP was announced Thursday, but it must be signed by President Eanes before it can take effect. On that day, the President told Theo Bogaert, secretary general of the International Federation of Journalists, and Gerard Qatinot, the federation's vice president - who are here in support of ANOP - that he would not sign because he was not satisfied with the official explanation for the Government's action.

CANDIDATE'S PAST IS BAY STATE ISSUE

Special to the New York Times

Only a week ago, John R. Lakian, a 39-year-old millionaire seeking the Republican nomination for Governor of Massachusetts in his first political campaign, was worried that voters would not recognize his name. But since The Boston Globe published an article Wednesday reporting a ''pattern of discrepancies'' between Mr. Lakian's words and his record, that problem has vanished. ''That problem has been solved,'' said Roger H. Woodworth, Mr. Lakian's political adviser. ''We're laughing about it, but the laugh is a little ironic and grim.''

Mexico's confidence in its entire economic and political system has been badly shaken in recent weeks. In a matter of months, the country has been plunged from a period of unparalleled prosperity into its worst financial crisis in memory. Many Mexicans are still reeling from the shock, confused about what has happened, and why. At the same time, they feel angry and betrayed at having been led down the path of consumerism for five years only to be jerked back to the rough road of austerity for no apparent reason. Aggravating the uncertainty, President Jose Lopez Portillo, who is widely blamed for the crisis, is in his final months in office and his lame-duck administration has at times seemed virtually crippled. But President-elect Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado cannot provide immediate leadership because tradition requires that he remain out of view until his inauguration on Dec. 1.

International The P.L.O. evacuation from Beirut was delayed by Israeli warships after Israeli officials objected to 20 jeeps being driven aboard a ship that was to take about 1,000 of the Palestinian guerrillas to Tunisia. Israel gave the ship sailing orders after an American guarantee was given that the jeeps would be unloaded before the ship reached its destination in Tunisia. (Page A1, Column 6.) A group of 265 Palestinian guerrillas arrived in Jordan after a stopover in Cyprus and were warmly received by King Hussein. The Palestinians were part of the first contingent of fighters who left Lebanon by ferry on Saturday. They were flown to Jordan from Cyprus in two jetliners that were chartered by the P.L.O. and the United Nations, according to one of the pilots. The other Palestinians in the initial contingent were flown to Iraq, where an official reception was held. (A1:4.)
