XII called a major consultation at his bedside today in a new effort to identify his baffling stomach illness. . . Five ., doctors planned to-1 see the 78-year-old Pontiff today, a week after he lay apparently near death in a state of serious collapse. The Pope failed to record fur ther progress Wednesday night for the first time since his ill ness. Authoritative sources said he had a restless night. He still is seriously ill and weak, the sources said,' and the exertion of Wednesday when he walked in his apartment for 30 minutes tired him. But the sources emphasised there has been no relapse and there is no new cause for alarm. Authoritative sources said the doctors suspect the Pope has haematic gastritis. This is gas tritis with blood in the stomach and often ' points to an ulcer or tumor. The doctors believe it is an ulcer and have excluded a tumor on the basis of tests made so far, the sources said. Examining Doctors Listed The five doctors examing the Pope were: . ... Prof. Riccardo Galleazi-Lisi, Rome eye specialist and general practitioner who has attended the Pope for 25 years. Kaffaele Paplucci di Valmag- giore, war hero who sank an enemy battleship in World War I and won an American decora tion. He is a Monarchist senator, a cancer expert and a world au thority on surgery. Antouie Gasbarrini, 72, ex pert who has devoted his life to science and to study of the intestines. He is president of the European Society of Gastro-En-terology. , Swiss Specialist Called Luigi de Stefano, 37, one of Rome's "most promising sur geons. He studied under Gas barrini. Paul Niehans, "70, Swiss spe cialist who treated the Pope for 10 . months with animal hor mones, a treatment now aban doned on the advice of Italian specialists. Authoritative sources said the doctors' visit was aimed mainly at studying the Pope's progress and estimating when they- will be able to make important x-rays of his abdomen. POPE PIUS XII Doctors Seek To Identify Illness POPE SURPRISES THRONG Crowds gather before Basilica of St. Mary Major, highly decorated with special electric lights for ceremonies closing the Marian Year. Later, Pope Pius XII appeared at the window of his Vatican palace apartment and blessed cheering crowds in St. Peter's square. His unexpected appearance was a dramatic and graphic illustration of amazing recovery the 78-year-old pontiff has made from nearly fatal attack that struck him a week ago.

J Queen May Visit Canada; Margaret Wants US Journey London U.PJ Queen Eliza beth is expected to make her first visit to Canada as a sover eign next year. There's a possi bility,, too, that high-spirited Princess Margaret may talk her family into letting her visit the United States. Neither of the trips is "offic ially" on the royal calendar. But well-informed sources close to Britain's court say both of them are high on the list of possible events. Will Travel To Ottawa The prediction Is . that the queen and the Duke of Edin burgh will travel to Ottawa next September or October to in augurate the new Canadian bri gade of guards. Only the queen can accept the oath of allegiance from the bri gade which is her personal body guard in the dominion. Only she can commission the officers and present its colors. - It would be Elizabeth's first trip to Canada since she went there, as a princess in 1951. Whether she would cross the border into the United States isn't known. Margaret's Plans Hazy As for Margaret's travel plans, they are much hazier. ' But it would surprise no one" at the palace if the petite, 24-year-old princess visits both -the United States and Canada ' next year. She has been dreaming of a holi day in the new world for a long time, and as they say-at -Buckingham Palace "Margaret . al ways gets what she wants." ; . Margaret herself regards the trip as a "must.". Before she can go, however, she has : to receive formal - permission - from the queen and an invitation from President Eisenhower.
