niEDnrao.oREfiOR
: Vatican City U.R) The
greatest team of doctors ever
assembled for Pope Pius . 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.

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.
