The Bancoklahoma Corporation, once the second-largest banking company in Oklahoma, said it had filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code and that it had also filed a reorganization plan. The filing, made in Tulsa, does not affect its former subsidiary, the Bank of Oklahoma in Tulsa, which was separated from the holding company in 1986 when the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation provided $130 million in financial assistance to the bank. Earlier this year, the F.D.I.C. sold the bank to a group of local investors.

The Federal Trade Commission said it had rejected a proposal by the Great Lakes Chemical Corporation to acquire the half of the Arkansas Chemical Corporation it did not own. Great Lakes, based in West Lafayette, Ind., and the Pittsburgh-based PPG Industries each own half of Arkansas Chemical, in El Dorado, Ark. Arkansas Chemical makes elemental bromine, a liquid used in pharmaceuticals and flame retardants. The F.T.C. said it had denied the request because Great Lakes did not show that the move would not reduce competition in the markets served by the companies involved. The panel also ordered Great Lakes, Arkansas Chemical and PPG to alter their joint-venture agreement to allow PPG to compete more freely in marketing elemental bromine. The F.T.C. also ordered Great Lakes to seek approval before acquiring any other company that makes bromine.

The European Commission said it had started an investigation into French Government plans to inject $339 million into Air France, the ailing national carrier. The commission, the executive body of the 12-nation European Community, said it would rule in two months whether this amounted to state aid or the normal action of a business investor. If it is the former, the commission would then rule on whether to allow the aid. The commission said it had received details of Air France's restructuring subsidy in recent days. The French Government owns 99 percent of Air France and has proposed to let the state-owned Banque National de Paris buy 5 percent to 10 percent of the airline. A European Community official said the commission, in ruling on state aid, would not make a special case for airlines because of the slump in traffic from the Persian Gulf war.

Newmark & Lewis Inc., the consumer electronics and appliance retail chain that filed for bankruptcy protection last week, said it would cost about $13 million to close 29 stores. The company said that its operating losses have increased since it filed for creditor protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. The company blamed reduced consumer spending and the severe Northeast recession for its financial straits. But Newmark said it expected its revenues to increase with the restructuring that would reduce the chain to 25 stores from 54 and as consumers begin shopping for the holidays.

To the Editor: Cable News Network's coverage of events in the Soviet Union will doubtless be judged another triumph. Yet differences in the role and value of the news media during the Persian Gulf war and the Soviet coup present a number of ironies.
