Wish of Patient
BY FRANK GERVAsI

VATICAN CITY, Dec. 80 G.N.s)
The first hopeful bulletin on the
condition of Pope Plus since he be-
came gravely ill about 10 days ago
was issued semi-officially at the
Vatican today.
Partially dispelling the deep
gloom which had fallen over the
Vatican during the past few days,
the bulletin stated there were in
dications the secondary system of
veins in the Pope's painfully
stricken left leg had begun to
function.
This has partly restored circula-
ton in the limb, the bulletin said,
and hopes rose that the regions in
which thrombosis has appeared
would return to normal without
developing gangrene.
Still In Danger
However, the bulletin frankly
stated circulation had been re-
stored in only one of several veins
affected, and it was clear the
Pope'S condition remained acute.
There was no indication the Pom.
tiff was suffering less pain, and
no mention of Improvement in his
numerous other ailments.
At the same time it was dis
