There was a week of total isolation. The tension could be felt every time I saw one of the guards. Then, on Oct. 30, they broke their silence. Their leaders came into my room.

They asked me to come with them. My life was threatened, they said. "But who threatens me," I asked. "The mob," was all the AVO man would say. "I WONT GO." I answered him.

"If it is the will of God that I should die here, here I will die. But I will not move." The officers were puzzled. They spoke briefly among themselves. Then one of them asked almost timidly. "Would you to if we used force just token force? For example, we could touch your arms as a symbol of force? Then would you go?" "No." I answered them.

At this they hardened. They were afraid They grabbed at me and started to pull me from the chair. I resisted. They were still pulling at me when one of the guards downstairs rushed up to say that a Russian-style armored car was coming up the driveway to the house. The officers ran to the window.

A FEW MINUTES later, John Horvath. head of the Governments Office of Church Affairs, ran into my room. "Your life is not safe in this place." he almost shouted at me. "I have orders to move you!" "I will not go," I told him. "You have everything from me there is to take.

You can take nothing else." Horvath left the room. He went to the telephone and called his superiors in Budapest, asking for help. By this time they needed it, for the people of the village had been attracted by his car. First came the children and voung people, because they are always first in thee things.

BY JOSEF CARDINAL MINDSZENTY (As Told to Father Josef ecsey) The inquisitor from Budapest came often to see me at Felsopeteny.

He told me that I could improve my status if I would only co-operate. "Why are you so stubborn?" he asked me. He talked about the alleged increased standard of living: of the Hungarian people. He praised their leaders, telling; me the country was in the hands of experienced, excellent men. He tried to convince me the domestic situation couldn't be better.

Then one day 1 was told that George Par-rai, editor of Magyar Nemzet, would be ht to me. A Ions time ago he had been a Catholic journalist, hut since then had become a Communist stooge. I refused to see him.

The months of summer and early fall. 1056. dragged slowly on. But toward the end of October there came a sudden change. I heard on the radio that the workers and students had started demonstrations, but no details were given.

I was isolated ar.d of course did not know what was reahy happening. STILL THERE WAS a feeling in me that my country had arrived at a decisive turn. I began to fast and to pray extra prayers.
