POPE UNLIKELY TO NAME
NEW CARDINALS NOW
Consistory for Purpose Probable in
May-United States Not to Get
Additional Members.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, March 5.-Calculations in
Vatican circles lead to the conclusion
that Pope Plus does not intend to hold
a consistory before Easter, because it
would be impossible to comply with
the custom of giving the new cardi-
nails three weeks notice. 1t also Is
customary to hold secret and public
consistories on Monday and Thursday,
respectively, and. since such Ceremo-
MES cannot be held in Easter week. the
latest date before Easter for that pur-
pose would he March 90 and March 25.
necessitating the notification of the
new cardinals March l.
Therefore. 1t is believed that the
Pope has decided to postpone the con-
sistory until May, unless he held one
prior to Easter without creating new
cardinals.
II generally is admitted. however
that the pontiff will raise to the pur-
pie the new foreign archbishops in
important sees just vacated, notably
Malines. the seat of the late Archbish-
op Mercier. This VIII render more
unlikely the addition of a new Ameri-
can cardinal, the United States already
having four members in the Sacred
College.
