Pope Insists That He
Must Work Despite
Failing Strength
By FRANK GERvASI

VATICAN CITY, Jan. 8 GN.SD.
Pope Plus, after relatively rest
full night" today renewed his in.
sistence that he resume work
activity which, in the opinion Of
doctors, would cut short the month
that they now feel is the maximum
the Pope can stave off death.
The Pontiff's condition, it was
learned at the Vatican, Is un-
changed.
DR.. Ananti Milani has managed
to convince the Pope that he must
remain in bed at least two or three
days longer before he can attempt
to sit in wheel chair and resume
some Of his work.
Clear in mind, the Pontiff is
himself aware of the gravity of
his condition, but he has often ex.
pressed his wish to die while
actually engaged in his duties.
The Pope will leave his be d
shortly for a specially constructed
bed chair to resume important au.
diences and perhaps hold con.
sistory for the creation Of four
additional cardinals.
Although the pain in the Pope's
legs has ceased, due to total pa.
ralysis Of the lower nervous syS.
tenn, there was a danger that the
multiple neuritis from which he
suffers may affect his heart and
lungs. If this should happen.
medical authorities said, it would
mean instant death.
So determined is Plus to return
to work that his personal physi.
clan, DR.. Milani, yielded to the
Pontiff's wishes at least for the
time being, it was learned, but
DR.. Milani has convinced the
Pope. he must remain in bed two
or three days longer before TAX
ing to his wheel chair.
But after that the Pope Is
determined to resume a great
measure of his previous activities.
despite his critical condition. Pub
lie audiences, however, will not be
resumed.
The most important danger
signals noted by DR.. Milani thus
far, it was learned, are severe
angina pains about the Pope'S
heart, indicating the heart is
succumbing to arterio scleroSis in
the higher cardiac muscles.

LONDON, Jan. 8 Q.N.SO.-Bri-
tiSh and French naval high COM
mands today made preparations
for an Anglo-French blockade Of
Spain, in case diplomats OF princi-
pal European powers decide to re-
sort to such measure.
Under the guise of replacement
operations" and annual maneu-
Vers," both navies are preparing
to mass powerful warship armadas
in the vicinity of Spanish waters.
Dismayed by the angry tone and
dilatory terms of the German and
Italian notes on Spanish noninter-
vention, and fearing that both
powers planned to rush more
troops to the aid of the Spanish
rebels, Britain openly announced
she would reinforce her Mediter-
ranean fleet of So warShips by dis
patching all 20 vessels of the home
fleet to Spanish waters this month.

The German and Italian notes
agreed to ban volunteers to Spain
if all other countries effectively
stopped the flow Of soldiers, and
If all other forms of direct and
indirect aid to either side in the
Spanish conflict were forbidden.
The notes suggested "beSt Solu-
ton for the problem of volunteers"
would be ELECTION from Spain of
all non-Spanish participants in
the Notwithstanding political
agitators."
Both notes felt an embargo now
would amount to aid for the loyal
lists, since fascist powers regarded
Russia and leftist France as hav.

tance to Madrid.
