The charges against him were

"You don't get one like that

There are 13 church services

Holy Days, and a priest hears
confessions each Saturday.
The services are voluntary on
the part Of the prisoners, but
the attendance is good.

service, again conducted by a
layman. Their pews were the
long metal tables used at other
times as their dining hall.
There were two services for
the felony prisoners-one for
the colored section and one for
the white prisoners. At the
colored service, nearly all the
seats were filled, with 110 in
attendance.
"They like to sing" a guard
said.
There were fewer at the serv-
ice for the white prisoners.
Guards patrolled the balcony
while these services were being
conducted. A system of double
doors-each door with its own
key and each opened by a diff
ferent guard-guarded the area
where these services were held.
The Department of Correc-
tion's chaplains are available
for special spiritual guidance for
the prisoners, but most of the
services-except the Catholic
are conducted by lay members
of various churches in the Dis
trict.
The Rev. Harvey v. Prentice
has been going to the jail each
week for more than a quarter of
a century to minister to the
prisoners spiritual needs.

At the District Jail, there are

Nearly so prisoners, clad in
their blue prison uniforms, had
assembled for this Protestant
service at $3.50 am. A Catholic
mass had been offered earlier.
Two came on crutches. All
came through heavy barred
doors, and the doors were locked
behind them. A guard stood at
the rear of the room.
"a good turnout today" the
guard commented.
Some came, one Of the min
listers said, because they liked
the hymns. They wanted to sing
Others were there because the
Sunday service was different
from the prison routine-it broke
the monotony.
But most of them were there
because of their faith. For some,
it was a recently acquired faith,
found in their time of trouble.
George Whitlow, a church
layman, entered through a door

La Rosa, Answering Godfrey,
Says He Hasn't Lost Humility

the show last Friday when I had
to miss a ballet lesson to do
something personal, family stuff
for my sister over in Jersey. And
it was important.
He said Mr.. Godfrey insisted
that all cast members take bal
let ito develop our poise," Mr..
La Rosa added:
"He kept harping on that hu-
mility thing until I was con-
scious of the word, but except
that I got used to crowds and
singing in public. I'm no differ
ent. It's like the guy who says
are you still beating your wife?
Now. suddenly it's up to me to
prove 1 haven't lost humility"
To reporters, Mr. Godfrey said
it makes me choke up to re-
member how Julie used to be" "
He said the singer had changed
from a "shy, bashful, timld,
scared-to-death kid" to an "ob-
streperous" boy.
Mr.. Godfrey said a purported
romance between Mr.. La Rosa
and Dorothy MCGUIRE, member
of the vocal trio. had nothing to
do with his release.
The couple are good friends
and nothing elSe." said Mr.. God
frey, and their relationship was

BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-The
rift in the Arthur Godfrey radio
TV show cast brought a rueful
protest today from Singer julius
La Rosa that he hadn't lost his
humility" as Mr.. Godfrey
claimed after firing him.
"I've been accused of some
thing that doesn't exist, not like
an action" Mr.. La Rosa said.
Its just an attitude, a state of
mind. Well. it's my mind and
it's made up to stay the same
kid I always was"
Mr.. Godfrey made no direct
comment during his television
Show last night about the furore
surrounding his dismissal of Mr..
La Rosa and reduction of Band
leader Archie Bleyer to a smaller
role in the Godfrey shows.
But he did remark that he
wants the kind of performers Il
love to have in my home" and
"love to think you like to have
them in your homes. too" Later,
he also observed: The great ones
are the ones who stay with me. !"
MI. Godfrey explained in a
news conference yesterday his
actions concerning Mr.. La Rosa
and Mr.. Bleyer resulted from
their desire to make a lot of
money in a hurry"
Moreover, he said, both of
them had lost that lovable,
likeable, down. -to-earth quality
that. for lack of a better name,
I call humility"
The decision about Mr.. La
Rosa came, he said, after the
young vocalist neglected dance
rehearsals and engaged a man
agement firm to conduct his
affairs.
Mr.. La Rosa said: IT don't
think that just because I got
a booking agent and a lawyer
that they were signs that 1
lacked anything good. Mr.. God
frey has a lawyer, hasn't hep"
AS for Mr. Bleyer, Mr.. God
frey said he had cut him down
to appearing on only one show
weekly because he had made re-
cordings in Chicago of Don Nc
Neill, a Godfrey competitor. for
a record company partly owned
by Mr.. Bleyer.
Archie lost his humility, too,"
Mr.. Godfrey said. iii know if
he gets it back. I'll know by the
expression on his face"
In Chicago, Mr.. McNeill, an
ABC star, expressed dismay,
called Mr.. Godfrey "an old
friend" and said it seems in
credible" that one recording Mr..
Rleyer made there should upset
their good relationship.
Mr.. La Rosa, who said he had
signed with a booking agency
that assured him earnings Of
100000 a year. said he still
felt grateful to Mr.. Godfrey, but
couldn't see anything wrong
with trying to get ahead.
I've always been a mother
and-father kid and always will
be-" he said in an interview at
his parents home which he
built for them. II want nice
things at home first. the best for
my folks, and after that, for
me-"
AS for missing dance re-
hearSals, Mr.. La Rosa said:

party.
This fear that the two elements
in the white population, the British
and the Beers, will separate per-
manently has haunted the whole
history of the South African Union
since its foundation in 1910. In
the logic of events the danger is
now believed to be greater than
ever.
It has not seemed so great since
the days of the flag crisis in the
192O's when DR.. Malan, as Min
ister in General Herzog's Cabinet,
fought to do away with the Union
Jack and finally compromised on
the present flag of the South At
rican Dominion and an agreement
that the Union Jack might be flown
only on few rare state occasions
and in an inferior position to the
Dominion flag. The Dominion flag
/ is virtually never flown except Of

prefer the two flags of the former
Transvaal and Orange Free State
Republics. and the British the
Union Jack.
The great display Of the Afri-

ceremonies for DR.. Malan yester-
