Vatican Says

VATICAN CITY R-Pope Plus
XII shows symptoms of a very
slight improvement, but ''the state
of general weakness persists" his
private doctor announced today.
The doctor, Prof. Ricardo
Galeassi-LiSi, said the Pope passed
"a moderately fair" night.
A Vatican spokesman, Msgr.
Angelo Dell'acqua of the secretary
of states office, said there was
hope the enfeebled pontiff, n.
might be able better to take some
nourishment.
The Pope's trouble keeping down
food has caused anxiety. To help
maintain his strength, he has been
fed intravenously.
The Rome newspaper II Tempo
said the Pope, the spiritual leader
of 400 million Roman Catholics
throughout the world, had not left
his bed in his third floor apartment
in the Vatican Palace since he
was stricken Jan. Is. He tried to
rise once or twice, the newspaper
said, but was too feeble to do So

possible soon to repeat particular
x-ray examinations" of the stom-

Prof. Galeazzi-Lisi hurried to the

I'm all for it, he added. "I'm

The lease also calls for q five
year tax exemption on the pro-
perry and a provision that If the
ferry line grows to the point where
it requires larger facilities, the
company would be allowed to OPP
crate other business at the site,
giving the city rs per cent of the
profit.
City manager Victor Lang also
told of another company which has
been studying the possibility Of

Docket
Forces Delay In
Roosevelt Case
Pre.Trial Hearing
Is Recessed After
Improper Questioning

PASADENA. Calf. R-The sep
arate maintenance suit against
James Roosevelt, in which his wife
accuses him of adultery with IL
women, won't go to trial for six
or eight months, a judge said
today.
A crowded calendar will delay
the case. said Superior Judge
Kurtz Kaufman, who recessed a
pre-trial hearing yesterday after a
lawyer tried to question Roosevelt
about one of the women.
Kaufman ruled such questions
will be proper only when Mrs.
Romelle Schneider Roosevelts
suit for $500 monthly support
actually is tried.
Intimate details of Roosevelt's
complex financial affairs and his
family's lavish standard of life
were recited in the day-long court
session. Opposing counsel will
delve further into these matters
when the temporary support hear
ing is resumed Feb. Is.
Mrs. Roosevelt's complaint
names three women as eorrespon-
dents and Incorporates a letter,
signed by Roosevelt. in which he
admits infidelities with nine other
women. Since her suit was filed.
Roosevelt has denied misconduct
with any of the IL.
The question about one Of the
correspondents, Gladys l r n e
Owens, came just after Roosevelt
had related from the witness stand
that he went to Mexico last Dec.
% and returned early in January,
on a trip partly for business and
partly for pleasure.
Were you accompanied by any,
one on this trip?" asked Arthur
Schifferman, one of Mrs. Roose-
velt's lawyers.
The court sustained an objection
by Samuel Picone, Roosevelt's
counsel.
"Were you accompanied by
Gladys Irene Owens?" persisted
Schifferman.
The day-long hearing, during
which Roosevelt glared at his wife
and she on occasion burst into
tears, brought testimony ranging
from the price of her dresses to
Roosevelt's assertion that he built
up a deficit of $12O, 900 in four and
a half years. Some of the high
lights:
Mrs. Roosevelt said her husband
sold, for one dollar, his one-fourth
share in business interests worth
four million. The sale, she said.
took place one week after he asked
her for divorce.
"Mr. Roosevelt's financial pic
ture began to change after he said
he wanted a divorce" she re-
marked.
Roosevelt, an insurance man,
referred to the business interests
sold for one dollar as worthless"
and observed:
Il want to leave some of my
money, if / ever have any left now,
to my children. | guess I'm getting
poorer by the minute"
Introduced in evidence was a
statement showing Roosevelt's re-
ceipts from Jan. /, 194S, to July
81, 1852, were $217,034 while his
expenditures were $685., 684.36.
Mrs. Roosevelt said her estimate
of monthly needs was based on
1.-The manner in which we have
lived for the past IL years" In
that period, she said, her dresses
cost $500 apiece, she and Roosevelt
often dined out at $50 for the two
of them, they occupied $50 a day
hotel suites when they Travelled.
Household expenses, she said, in
Icluded s465 monthly for servants
and $3.50 for food.
Roosevelt said his monthly ex-
penses included 500 for clothing,
SIS for taxis, $500 for insurance,
