PAIN GESTURES

 His Audiences
-(Acn,e Telephoto.)

Vatican City, Jan. 12.-(UP)--In- tensified pain in Pope Plus right leg again disturbed his rest, 1t was reported today. despite the adminis- tration of harmless sleep-induc- ing potion calculated not to affect his heart.
 Prof. Aminta Milani, Vatican and was reported to have said that physician, visited him Ut g:45 Q. m., his condition was stationary.
 This, however. was reported to concern only the general conditoin. A papal household official said that the Pope was restless part of the night, and another source said that except for some sleep early in the morning the Pope sent an agitated night owing to the persistence of newly developed pain in his right leg.
 Some reports were that the pains were as acute as those which the Pope suffered recently in his left leg. This, 1t was said. was because the varicose condition of the veins had reached climax. Bursting of the veins would relieve the pain, as was the case with the left leg.
 The Pope received Cardinal Pa- celli, his secretary of state, in audi encc as usual this morning. Then he saw Cardinal Mercati, the Vati- can librarian and discussed books with him.
 { Cardinal Mercati told intimates after the audience that the Pope appeared tired and pale but seemed not to be suffering.
 Prof. Milani. after his second visit at noon. said that the Pope's con- dition was stationary.

 History Making Session
 Yesterday afternoons session of the house and senate was history making one. Representative John D. Thonls of htis city was g new minor ity leader. That is, in his way of harnmering at the republicans. The agfTcssiveness he showed yesterday waS in direct contrast to his stand in 1895 session. It was undoubtedly due to the demands and threats at the house democratic caucus two weeks ago when Representative Joan J. Fitzgerald of AflSonia. and Benjamin Tonkonow of .Meridei1 declared that they woulds1iot follow him unless he showed more action.
 House starts Trouble
 The house early yesterday after- noon voted to organize separately and name separate committees after the senate had turned down the resolution of Representative Noah 6waync of Darien, republican leader of the house. calling for g.o.p. majority on all house committees. The senate upheld the Thonns house amendment providing for equal rep lcsentation on all joint committees with the senate chairman given the right to break ties. The senate chair man this year will be democratic 50 he would have two votes and break the tie in favor of the demo- crats. When the house receded and withdrew the joint resolution as amended by the senate both branches then proceeded to organize separ- ately. The house adopted house rules but the senate, although de- ciding to adopt separate rules, also. deferred action until next Monday.
