Advice Is Ignored
That the new pope has decided
to exercise his full authority was
shown when some cardinals, at
tached to what has become known
as the "irreconcllables," attempt
ed to persuade him not to appear
on the outside balcony. He lis
tened to the arguments and then
said:
"Remember I am no longer a
cardinal. I am now the supreme
pontiff."
The diplomatic corps and papal
aristocracy Were received in the
Vatican this afternoon. His holi
ness passed along the loggias, ac
companied by his entourage and
escorted by noble guards in their

Swiss guards in mediaeval cos
tumes.
As the pontiff moved slowly
along, all knelt. He offered his
hand and It was reverently kiss
ed; then he proceeded to Clemen

the papal benediction.
