'Ailing Pope
Still Weak;
Rests Well
VATICAN CITY I Pope Pius
private physician said today the
Pontiff rested well last night and
bis "improvement continues."
It was the third straight day
that Dr. Riccardo Galeazzi-Usi
had cited at least some improve
ment In the condition of the ailing
head of. the Roman Catholic
Church.
But the brief words and the pre
vious hopeful reports did not quell
the fears that have arisen for the
health of the frail Pontifl, now 77.
For the past 15 days the Pope
has been secluded in his Vatican
Palace apartment, confined to his
bed with a stomach ailment of un
disclosed nature which has great
ly enfeebled him. He is able to re
tain only a little liquid food.
Prayers for the Pontiff's health
were repeated in Roman Catholic
churches " throughout the world
Thousands of letters and messages
poured Into the Vatican from far
points expressing hope for his re.
covery. .
Galeazzl-Llsi's report this morn
ing was' terse: "The Pope rested
well and his improvement continues."
niLCI il, WIG IClt
the Vatican to go shopping in
downtown Rome an indication
that perhaps slightly less concern
was felt for his patient's condition
today. ' ...
The Pope Is also being treated
by a Swiss glandular and internal
specialist, Dr. Paul Niehans. For
the past several days, one or the
other has been in attendance at
all times at the Pope's simple
apartment. - -
Yesterday's communique was the
most heartening since the Pontiff
was stricken. It said: "The Pope
last (Saturday) night slept rather
well. Signs of improvement are
noted In the condition of the stom
ach, which is quieter and less dis
turbed. However, In hU general
condition there continues to be con
siderable weakness." f ..
Last night the Vatlefiri announced
the Pope's ailment is glandular,
but his Inability to hold down fluids
given to patients for X-ray tests
has apparently kept his doctors
from learning the speciflo nature
of the Illness. V
