Pope Plus III Health
Forces New Curb on
His Holy Year Duties
By George Weller
Foreign Correspondent Of The stor and
the Chicago Daily News

VATICAN CITY, Dec. 28.-Pope
Plus KITS program Of Holy Year
duties was slashed for the second
time in two days today in order TO
spare him outdoor exposure.
Heavy duties plus ailments are
taking an unmistakable toll from
the 73-year- Odds pontiff's health.
The Pope had been scheduled
to visit two of the three special
pilgrimage churches. Santa Mag
giore and st. John Lateran, today.
Yesterday he had expected to bless
st. Paul Outside the Walls, the
third of the obligatory pilgrims
basilicas. The Holy doors in all
three basilicas were hammered
open on Saturday by eminent car
dinals while the Pope was open
ing st. Peters. The three basil
icas belonging to the Vatican
State, but outside its limits,
awaited the pontiff's Holy Year
Inauguration.
Sees Diplomatic Staff Only.
Instead. quietly and without
reference to the Pope's health,
this entire program was Cancelled.
Today Pope Plus saw only his
diplomatic corps in the Vatican's
consistorial hall. 49,"
The Pope is suffering from
acute headaches and eyestrain,
partly chronic and partly aggra-
waited by overwork. The medical
diagnosis is maxillary sinusitis
and asthmatic bronchitis. BY
treating the bronchitis carefully
the Pope has been able to keep
1t restricted to q light cough. But
no effective cure has been found
for the devastating headaches
which strike the pontiff due to
the sinus condition.
Headaches assail Pope Piux i'm

wintry basillicas with their drafty
vaults.
Appeared to Be in Pain.
The pontiff's downcast appear
ance at the opening of the Holy
Door In st. Peters chilly portico
suggested to many observers that
His Holiness was not only in
prayer, but in pain,
To keep the pontiff his viva
cious, charming self at indoor
audiences which he prizes dearly.
medical advisers are firmly cur
failing all his appearances in the
basilicas and out Of doors. His
scheduled march around st. Pet
er's Square on Saturday was can
celed for this reason, though the
day proved bright and warm.
Wherever there Is sunlight the
Pope still can take his regularly |
clicked Commute daily walk in
the garden. But since Italy's
winter is unpredictable. his out
door ceremonies will be cut to
almost nothing until Easter
warmth strikes the piazzas and
moderates the basilicas' damp
ness.
Physicians Are Worried.
The Pope's physicians are wor-
ried also about strain on his eye
sight provoking sinus headaches.
They intend to shave his work
ing hours, which now stretch from
before dawn often until 1880 in
the morning.
Indoor audiences for pilgrims
never will be curtailed until the
Pope shows actual signs Of in
trinity. tuberculosis suffered In
youth keeps his figure sim thin
and barely robust enough to carry
the heavy robes and mitre neces-
sary to ceremonial functions.
The pontiff's. doctors now rule
that chills, plus fatigue, are too
much.
