Leaders of nine unions representing workers at The Daily News have resolved, at least temporarily, an internal struggle that had threatened to undermine union solidarity in the effort to save the bankrupt newspaper. George E. McDonald, head of the Allied Printing Trades Council, the union coalition, apparently turned back a challenge to his leadership from the umbrella group's three largest unions at a meeting yesterday.

Bradley Smith is a Californian who acknowledges that the Nazis were cruel to Jews but who denies that the Holocaust ever happened. He has tried to expound his views in a 4,000-word essay submitted as an advertisement to several college newspapers -- giving headaches and heartaches to student editors. In the process he gives the public some valuable, if unintended, lessons in the workings of a free press. Many readers would blanch if they came upon Mr. Smith's pseudo-scholarly tract. Yes, he concedes, Jews were mistreated by the Nazis, and "many tragically perished in the maelstrom." But the idea that Nazi Germany exterminated six million Jews, Mr. Smith contends, is an irresponsible exaggeration. Gas chambers? A myth. Those actually were "life-saving" fumigation shelters to delouse clothing and prevent disease.
