Names Not Revealed
The Pope died without re-
vealing their names. But there
was some speculation that he
left their names In a document
to be opened by his successor.
The new Pope then could hold
a public consistory to confirm
them or he could take no ac-
ton, In which case they would
not become princes Of the
church.
Catholic and non-Catholic
alike mourned Pope Johns
passing.
Mourning masses with spe.
cial prayers for the dead were
ordered for all Roman Catholic
churches by the vatican's Con-
gregation of Rites.
From around the world -
including Communist countries
came a chorus of sorrow for
the Pope who made the theme
Of his reign a call for all men
to live in harmony together.
His death brought profound
sadness everywhere. but also
relief that his awful suffering
was over.
He died as he had predicted
after sunset.
MY time will come at night, {"
he once said. by day I have
church business"

The great bell in the dome
of st. Peters suddenly began
to toll. The great bronze doors
at the entrance to the Vatican
