Czech Workers
Rebel When
Priest Vanishes

VIENNA -(NC)-When a priest
disappears from sight in Red
Czechoslovakia. the obvious assum-
ption is that he has fallen foul
Of the security police and is head
ed for a slave camp.
That, at least, was the surmise
of a number of Sloyak slave work
erS forced to work on evacuated
farms in the Czech border region
of Ceske Velenice, just across the
Austrian frontier near Gmuend.
They decided to 60 on strike when
their local parish priest could not
be found.
The workers took it for granted
that the priest has been arrested
on charges of preaching "Subver-
sive' sermons, just as had his
predecessor who, along with many
other priests. is now known to be
slave laborer in the uranium
mines OF JachymoV.
The communists launched .
new offensive in their war
against the Church early in June
when they deereed that parish
priests must hsneeforth submit
sermon texts TO the local polif-
ical leader q week in advance.
The order included q warning
that devisfions from approved
texts would be treated as Grim
inal offensss.
II has not been aScertained how
many priests have been charged
with the new crime" but there
is no doubt that increasing pres
sure is being put upon them.

Observation-Disclosures Called For
To Ensure Safety OF Holy City

VATICAN CITY - radio, NC)
Recent outbreaks of Arab-ISraeli
violence have demonstrated anew
how we'll founded are the fears of
Catholics over the safety of Jerusa-
lem and its holy places. Catholics
everywhere feel that the only way
to preserve the city and its ancient
Shrines is through the interna-
tionalization of the Holy City and
its environs, as frequently urged
by His Holiness Pope Plus XII.
These comments were made by
OsServatore Romano, Vatican City
newspaper. in an editorial in which
il declared that "the situation of
Jerusalem is ever so CRITICAL and
becomes more so from day TO day"
The situation, OsServatore said,
sis not only a danger for peace,
but constitutes a more serious and
permanent threat for the safety of
the city and its holy places. The
episodes OF violence could be re-
peated from one moment to the
next. because the causes remain
and mere line of armiStice which
divides the city in two can become
q combat line in an instant" {"
Intermittent violence has mark
ed 3 virtual Arab-lsrael frontier
war which has continued during
the past five years since the Pal
estine armistices were signed. One
of the most serious of recent incl
dents was the outbreak of shoot
ing on June 30. between Arabs in

New City which resulted in nine
persons being killed and scores

A lively place, containing
Washington's Peacock Alley,
where boy meets girl on dates,
. and the Round Robin room,
which is the modern substitute
for its once famous bar, it is at
the same time a venerable in
stitution.
New York's old Waldorf
Astoria was built in the COS: the
Palmer House in Chicago in the
70s. The Parker House of Bos-
ton, which made rolls famous,
opened in 1885. But it was in
1847 that Henry Willard took
over the management of the
hotel at Fourteenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue that was
to bear his name for more than
a century.
And now Garnett L. Eskew,
who writes sponsored books that

This evening at 8 o'clock the
Columbia Historical Society will
meet in the cabinet room of the
hotel to hear Mr.. Eskew talk
on Ghosts of the Willard.
Mr.. Eskew has gone through
the old registers of the Willard
and found that many of the
ghosts have impressive names.
Any old hotel is bound to have
some good stories, but is it doubt
full that any can equal the tale
of Antonia Ford. Mai. Joseph
Willard, who later bought out
his brother Henry's interest in
the hotel and became sole owner,
met her at Fairfax during the
war. He was AZ: she %. He
was in love with her although he
knew she was a Confederate spy.
He married her when she was
released from the old Capital

count of Antonia's adventures in
a post Civil War romance writ
ten by John Estes Cooke. who
was one of Antonia's ardent
suitors. And he talked to Mrs.
Kermit Roosevelt in her Sutton
Place mansion in New York.
Mrs. Roosevelt. heir to one-half
the Joseph Willard fortune, is
a granddaughter of Antonia.
Legend has it that Antonia
brought Gen. Pierre Beauregard
word that Union Gen. Mcdowell
was going to attack his left cross
ing Bull Run above the stone
bridge, information that would
have been very helpful to the
Confederates in the first Battle
of Bull Run.
There are no official reports
confirming this. Joseph Willard
met her in the following year.
He was on Gen. McDowell's staff
and the general made the Ford
home in Fairfax his headquar-
ters.
When raider Mosby raided
Fairfax and captured Brig. Gen.
E. H. Stoughton of Vermont
asleep in the manse, Antonia
was denounced in the press as
the one who had supplied the
information that made the feat
possible. That forced her arrest.
She was in prison seven months;
took the oath of allegiance, was
released and married the major.
Their son. Joseph E. Willard,
is the man who rebuilt the hotel
in 1901. He was President Will
sons Ambassador to Spain and
it was there that his daughter
was married to Kermit Roose-
Welt, with his father ex-President
Theodore Roosevelt in atten-
dance.
Three Hotels in Family.
At one time the Willard
brothers operated three hotels
in the immediate neighborhood.
Henry built the Occidental. next
door to the Willard on Pennsyl-
vania avenue after he sold out
to his brother, the major. A
younger brother. Caleb. was the
owner of the Old Ebbitt house
where the National Press Build
ing now stands.
Charles Dickens, who was at
the hotel in 1842 before the ar
rival of the Willards, was not at
all impressed with the service.
Dickens wrote that his window
looked out upon a common yard
in which hangs a great triangle.
Whenever a servant is wanted
somebody beats upon that tri-
angle from one note up to seven,
according to the number of the
house in which his presence is
required; as all servants are al
ways being wanted. and none Of

engine is in full performance
the whole day through.
Clothes are drying in this
same yard: female slaves. with
cotton handkerchiefs twisted
around their heads, are running
to and fro on the hotel business;
two great dogs are playing on
a mound of loose bricks in the
center of the little square, a pig
is turning UP his stomach to the
sun and grunting that's COM
fortable!' and neither the men,
nor women, nor the dog. nor the
pig, nor any created creature
takes the slightest notice of the
triangle, which is tingling madly
all the time"
William Howard Russell. cor
respondent for the London Times,
who came to cover the Civil War,
wrote that he heard a man order
this breakfast:
BLACK tea and toast, scram-
bled eggs, fresh spring shad, wild
pigeon. two robins on toast,
oysters and quantity of breads
and cakes of various denomina-
tions."
There was no extra charge
for such eating. 1t all came
within the room and board rate
of 81 a day.
