An off-Broadway comedy that made its way to Broadway, "Talley's Folly," by Lanford Wilson, captured the 1980 Pulitzer for drama Monday. In journalism, the Boston Globe captured three prizes, the second time that has happened in the 64 years that the awards have been given. The Philadelphia Inquirer won a prize for the sixth consecutive year. The Gannett News Service won the public service gold medal for exposing mismanagement of contributions to the Pauline Fathers. In a reflection of working newsmen's perils, a United Press International photographer won the spot news photography prize for "Firing Squad in Iran," but the news service withheld his name because "present unrest in Iran" could endanger him.

For the first time, names of finalists in screening for the 19 categories were made public. There were 44 runner-up individuals or organizations thus identified in all categories except drama. The drama jury recommended only "Talley's Folly," a Circle Repertory production that opened last May and made its way to the Brooks Atkinson Theater Feb. 20. The prizes were announced by President William J.

A record of 1,550 entries had been submitted, including 1,082 in journalism. In the letters categories, Mailer's award was his second Pulitzer prize; he won in 1969 for "Armies of the Night." Other letters winners were in history, "Been in the Storm So Long: The Aftermath of Slavery," by Leon F. Litwack; in biography, "The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt," by Edmund Morris; and in poetry, "Selected Poems," by Donald Justice.

The music prize went to David Del Tredici for "In Memory of a Summer Day," a work for solo soprano and orchestra.

Otsuki, who founded the Holy Church of Jesus in 1946, said its followers, including those at the Roses of Anne Church, were inspired by Anne Frank, the teen-age diarist who chronicled life in an Amsterdam warehouse hideout for two years until her family was betrayed to the Nazis.
