INTERVIEW WITH DIR. LAPPONI
Explains the Situation, and Shows the
POpes IndsfatigabIe Energy.

Rome, July THE correspondent of
the Associated Press interviewed DR.
Lapponi during his brief absence from
the Vatican. 1t was easy to read in
the pale face the signs of anxious days
and nights spent watching his august
patient, while his words proved I'M
mistakably how deep an affection he
bears for Pope Leo. unfortunately"
said DIR. Lapponi, Il cannot give you
any really cOnsoling news. 1 cannot
share the optimism which is spreading
today, which is not owing to a definite
change for the better but to the spir-
It of the pope, who is giving further
proof that his interchangeable energy
continues.
"The truth is that the pontiff's con-
dition is stationary which means that
it is very grave. l will go so far as
to say that although he may live for
several days it would be cherishing an
illusion to think he may recover, I'M
less some unforeseen crisis occurred.
His pulse has become, to use medi-
cal term, evaneScent. which means
almost imperceptible. The pope, except
during short periods of uneasiness,
when his cough is troublesome, is gen
orally bright and IN good spirit, and
displays great force of character.
This morning. again, at his Cwn
wish, he left his bed and seated him
self in his arm chair, as he finds u
sitting posture more comfortable than
being recumbent. What surprises all
who approach him is that there has
been no change in the lucidity of his
intellect, which disease has not af-
fected For instance, not a single de-
tail of the ceremony of the last COM
munion escaped the pope's observation.
He spoke of it with great interest, re-
calling each parsonage who partici-
pated.
''The worst symptom. apart from
the feebleness of the pOntiff's pulse, is
his low temperature. which is station
ary at 81 centigrade. He continues
to take nourishment at short intervals,
but not in such quantities as his weak
ness requires or his docto:s wish. Moth
ing medical science can suggest and
his organism can stand has been left
untried; for instance, oxygen, cutan-
eous revulsives. digitalis and caffeine,
which have also been injected to pro
duce more rapid effect The disease
is senile pneumonia in a torpid form,
which is now at its maximum intensi-
ty, but which may have begun unob-
served before the pope complained OF
any feeling of illness"
