Queen would be faced with the
alternative of backing down once

AbdicatiOn Not Unusual
1t could happen. In Holland,
for a ruling monarch to abdicate
the throne is good deal less
shocking than elsewhere. Juliana
herself inherited the crown on
the abdication of her mother,
Wilhelmina, who tired of her
crown in l947 and who has been
living in comfortable retirement
ever since.
Betting here. ever, is
against any such decision by
Juliana. Those who know the
Queen say that for all her demo-
cratic leanings (she frequently
pours drinks herself for visitors)
and habitual emphasis of the
fact that a Queens lot is not a
happy one, she is actually very
fond of her job. They believe
that If a showdown is finally
forced upon her-and the poll
ticians themselves are not in
clined to do the forcing-it is the
Queen who will give way.
And if it happens that Miss
Greet Hofmans and the other
members of ''the group" fade out
of the picture at that point, there
are not many prominent lead

Dutch Resent Intrusions
In Palace Feud on Healer
By CROSBY S. MOVES


European Correspondent Of The Star
THE HAGUE. Netherlands.
June 16.-The average Dutch
man is likely to look on his own
royal family as a strictly private
and jealousy guarded property.
More than In most countries,
he tries to draw q Arm line be-
tween the private and public
life Of his rulers. His first in
stinct is protective. And any in
trusions - particularly by OUT
siders-are likely to be fiercely
resented.
For this reason, 1t is hard to
predict the course Of the storm
which has broken around the
head Of Queen Juliana Of the
Netherlands. If the Queen is
In trouble with her government
If there is unhappiness within
the palace and criticism abroad
the first reaction Of the Dutch
people is to rally to her defense.
For the record, Prime Minister
Willem Drees has branded as
great lies the reports that
Queen Juliana might abdicate
the throne because Of the up
roar over her faith-healing
friend, Miss Greet Hofmans. He
was equally positive in denying
that there is any question of di-
vorce or separation between the
Queen and her consort. Prince
Bernhard. or any constitutional
problems facing the government
because of the affair.
Report Was Accurate
All of this, for the moment,
is true enough. But it does not
change the fact that the original
reports published in this months
issue of the German news mag
azine Der Spiegel, were accurate
In all essentials.
Most highly-informed sources
here confirm the story of a
bitter struggle within the palace.
And since this struggle is now
threatening to become a matter
of political concern the posi-
hility of a government crisis and
even abdication cannot be ruled
out altogether.
The main facts have been
whispered around government
offices and diplomatic teatables
for years. 1t started in 1947 with
the birth of Juliana's fourth
daughter. Princess Marie Chris
tine arijke" to all Holland
was born with cataracts on both
eyes as a result of case of Ger
man measles contracted by her
mother in pregnancy. Specialists
succeeded in partially removing
one Of them but offered little
hope that Marijke would ever see
normally.
Ironically. it was Prince Bern
hard himself who first suggested
the faith healer to the despair
ing queen in 1913. The country
at the time was talking about
a rather mysterious woman
named Greet HofmanS who after
a lifetime of work In a textile
factory had suddenly at 81 dis
covered within herself miracul-
Gus curative powers. After pray
ing briefly over the infant prin-
cess. she assured her parents
that within two years Marijke
would recover her sight. Queen
Juliana. filled with renewed hope
and gratitude. forthwith in
stalled Miss Hofmans in the
palace at Soestdijk where her
influence on the queen land her
public practice as a faith healer)
grew steadily.
Influence Questioned
There are good many people
In Holland who feel that this
influence has not been entirely
benign. Naturally inclined to-
ward a somewhat gloomy sort
of mysticism, the queens self
pity has reached almost alarm
ing proportions al times under
the inspiration OF Greet Hof-
mans. Some Of her recent
