DAR member settles lawsuit over cookbook WASHINGTON - Faith Tiberio, an outspoken member of a group known for its silent good works, reached a settlement with the Daughters of the American Revolution yesterday in her $2 million lawsuit over who gets the credit for a DAR cookbook. But the $20,000 settlement does not end Tiberio's problems with the organization she has been a member of for 40 years. She faces disciplinary action for speaking out against a DAR policy criticized as being designed to keep out black members. In April 1984, six months after she filed her cookbook suit, Tiberio spoke at a news conference to protest a proposed amendment to the society's bylaws, which was seen by some as an attempt to prevent blacks from joining the DAR. Democrats request aid for refugees WASHINGTON - A proposal for refugee aid and diplomatic negotiations offered yesterday by House Democrats again rejects President Reagan's objective to help the guerrillas fighting Nicaragua's Sandinista gover- nment.

"But we cannot let our ideals, so long symbolized by the Monroe Doctrine, to be used as a cloak'for gunboat diplomacy."
