3 items. One multi-page copy of Yorty-George Putnam interview broadcast on May 26, 1961. Putnam refers to it as a "half-hour interrogation"--it is more like a Yorty campaign ad. Also two very similar broadcast texts from May 30,1061, which Putnam opens by stating: "tonight you will hear the facts about Sam Yorty and why he deserves your support and vote on Wednesday."
