Hulps vision for international

VATICAN CITY, Dec. T.
(UP).-Chapters of four major
papal baSilicaS today were asked
to give prayers for Pope Plus N,
a ritual that occurs only when
the pontiff's condition is believed
to be critical.
At a. M. an authorized spokeS-
man told the United Press that
his investigation at the Vatican
brought the information that "the
pope's condition is unchanged"
Police headquarters at the same
hour said that his holiness "waS
not faring any worse"
1t was understood that Eugcnio,
Cardinal Pacelli, Vatican sccre-
tary of state, visited the pope
again last evening and had a short
conversation. He said that the
holy father was maintaining his
early Improvement.
Heads of various religious in
Stitutions in Rome were under
stood to have ordered their MEM
bers to add extra prayers for his
holiness.
This apparent growing concern
over the condition of the aged and
cnfebled pope, who is suffering
from a complication of diseases,
conflicted with an announcement
last night that he was showing I'M
