He said he regards himself
more as a developer of talent,
than a performer.
The thing that hurts him
most. Godfrey said. is that he
no longer feels himself on the
air, that he is untrue" to his
audience.
Il have to go out there as
though there were nothing
ranking in my soul. I can
feel those people out there
asking me, come on, tell us
what this is all about. But
everybody around here (CBS)
tells me to shut up, don't
talk. Be careful.
why not talk? I haven't
done anything wrong sure,
I wouldn't fire the boy that
way again. I know now that
was wrong. But at the time
I thought it was the right
thing :"
Godfrey said his performers
can have their own managers
and make outside appearances.
But he only wants to be sure
they won't be shipped into
some cheap honky-tonk" or
some "Communist-inspired
benefit which would hurt
them and hurt our show"
He said he never insisted
that any one in his organiza-
ton use his lawyer. The only
reason La Rosa did, Godfrey
said, was because he asked for
help in preparing his income
tax return.
ExpIoins Dislike
1 asked Godfrey if he had
any idea why some people dis
like him intensely. He thought
a moment, and said:
1T all depends. Advertising
people may hate me because
I've been rough with the jerks
who write the fantastic claims
in commercials press
agents sneaking around here
for some phony deal? Yeah,
they hate my CUTS. Song plug
gers? Yes, they'll hate me be-
cause I insist on picking songs
myself. y.
Maybe some one got lost
in the shuttle. Maybe in
a busy day. you step all over
a lot of people without know
ing it. But it was never done
intentionally"
I was ready to leave when
Godfrey said, Just tell me
this, if you will. Is there any,
body working for me now who
said those lousy things about
me?"
NO" I said, after some
thought.
"You don't know what
you've just done for me-"
Godfrey said. Its wonderful.
I feel like crying"
There were tears in his
eyes.

MuIIens Are Mad
At this point in the inter-
view, the three Mullens sisters,
who sing in an eight-member
group on the Wednesday night
show, Joined us. They were
indignant.
We're mad" said Marry
Mullen. "All this nasty pub
lieity. It's time somebody
spoke up for Arthur"
I said l had tried, without
success, to talk to other men,
bers of the cast in an "un-
cleared" interview.
Maybe they're confused"
said Kathleen Mullen. Maybe
they don't know when to talk
to the press. But we're ready.
We've worked for other peo-
pie. We know how nice God
frey is.
Although I was never able
to catch up with better known
Godfrey performers for an in
formal interview, I did talk
with other members of his
organization. This is the sub
stance of what they said:
The rule against individual
press agents and managers was
a good one to avoid "confu-
sion, the wrong kind of pub
licity and the wrong kind of
outside work.; they we're free
to choose their own lawyers;
far from being an aloof tyrant,
Godfrey frequently was avail
able for help and personal
advice.
Godfrey has an "uncanny
first sense" of what's good or
bad about a number: the God
frey family" is really a happy
family but what group of
actors doesn't have fights now
and then?"

BY this time I felt I had
spent a week umpiring ping
pong match. Confused by con-
f1icting opinions. I finally
sought out Godfrey himself.
though he seemed under great
strain, he limped all the way
around his desk to shake my
hand firmly.
I've been sick in my soul
since the papers started kick
ing this thing around" he
said. Look, I have no talent.

as long as people have it, to
me it's greater than talent"
Does Arthur Godfrey have
humility? His answer:

when you think you have it.
you have lost it. Do I have
humility? I doubt it. I doubt
it. But all I ever wanted
was that these kids should not
lose that certain something
they had when they first came
in here"
Godfrey said he was
shocked" and "broken-heart-
ed" to learn that some of his
people feared him. He told
his cast:
why are you afraid of me?
There's only one thing you
need be afraid of-and that's
a bad performance. Get 1t

Dave Little of Baltimore is the
most frustrated bowler in the
National duckpin championships

Little got off to a promising

Statesmen. Then he shot SO. His
set was 356. This made him a
poor bet to figure for the all

Private Construction
OF Ocean Beach Span
Passes House Test

to authorize developers Of Ocean
Beach, Md, to build a bridge at
their own expense to connect

an amendment to require that
the span across Sinepuxent Bay

The vote in the House COM

said he intends to propose an
amendment when the bill comes
up for final approval to require
the Ocean Beach developers to
put up a 100000 completion

Toll Collection Planned.
Leon Alderman of Washing
ton, principal stakeholder in the
venture, already has offered to
contribute 100000 toward the
estimated SIS million cost cf
the bridge, after the rest of the
money has been raised. The de-
velopers plan to charge tolls to
pay for the span.
The development on ASA
league Island Is now accessible
only by boat.
The bill merely gives the cor
poration authority to build the
bridge. The State would not be
required to spend any money or
guarantee any bonds. Delegate
Hanna and other legislators OBJ
jected to the move, however, be-
cause they said they feared the
bill would be used to promote
sale of lots on the island.
