He then slipped away before newsmen could interview him. “He came in a side door,” said Red Sox publicist Jack Malaney. “He sat down with Bucky, had a short talk, signed and said he had to go. I didn’t even see him.’’ “Buckey was smiling,” Malaney said. Asked about a quoted statement that he (Harris) believed the team might be better off without the 41-year-old outfielder, Harris said he was "horribly misquoted.” In past yeArs the Red Sox had set up a mob scene news conference when Williams signed his contracts. Clearly the tall swinger, an ardent foe of sports writers, wanted to avoid questions about the possibility of improving last year’s off-standard ance.

Says Newspapermen Receive Payolas NEW YORK (UPD—An assistant state attorney general who is also a teacher of journalism said Sunday that a substantial mount es "payola’ is received by newspapers and newspaper personnel and should be eliminated. Ralph Ober, a newspaperman and public relations man before he entered law enforcement,' is a professor of journalism and public relations at the new School for Social Research. He spoke on a local radio panel discussion before a group of college newspaper editors. He called for a code of professional conduct to eliminate the acceptance of gifts, meals, free tickets and travel expenses by newsmen. “The press itself should not have the right to indulge in payola and at the same time criticize other media for the same conditions,” Ober said. “Newspapers should be required in effect to clean up their own house so that they are as completely honest as humanly possible.”' - Ober said that “up until now, I don’t know that it has been a menace,” but “wherever there is an element of payola, it is basically dishonest and should be combatted.” Ober particularly attacked daily gossip - type columns, a typical example of whidh, he said, “frequently contain 80 per cent partly or wholy inaccurate material from public relations sources.” Asked if there were similar public relations influences in international and national news reporting, Ober said, “Well, I have no personal knowledge of it. but I would say it is very possible.” Ober was a night picture editor of the New York Times from 1935 to 1941 and was with the Associated Press from 1941 to 1945.
