Reginald Stuart
The president-elect of the Radio and Television News Directors Association told the Federal Communications Commission today that news organizations often decide against covering controversial issues for fear of being confronted by groups displeased with the coverage and threatening action under the Fairness Doctrine. ''We're making concessions instead of journalistic decisions because it's the easy way out,'' said the president- elect, John Spain, a broadcast station news director. He said deciding against doing a story despite its newsworthiness was the employees' way of keeping the public and station owners ''off their backs.''

Former Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger asserted today that President Reagan's main difficulty in winning support for his Pentagon budget, Nicaragua policy and missile defense proposal was Congressional distrust of Administration objectives and credibility.

George Steinbrenner insists he looks more like Butch Cassidy, but the principal owner of the Yankees is meant to resemble Jacob Ruppert, the Yankee owner from 1915 to 1939 in a color photo on the cover of The Sporting News this week. Steinbrenner, disguised behind a gray walrus mustache, stares stonily ahead, a black derby hat on his head, a black bowtie under his chin, his hands crossed atop an 1889 cane. To his left is Yogi Berra, dressed as John McGraw, the fabled New York Giant manager; to his right, Rickey Henderson, the recently acquired center fielder, as Ty Cobb.
