Pope Pius's Health Weakens
CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy (M)
-The condition of Pope Pius XII
grew worse last night.
The 82-year-old head of the
Roman Catholic Church, had
rallied earlier from a coma and
partial paralysis that attended a
stroke Monday, but other symp-
toms recurred.
Then late last night a Vatican
official said flatly the Pontiff's
condition had taken -a turn for
the worse. Pressed to elaborate on
the degree of worsening, he replied
only: "I stick by what I said."
Worse Condition
A doctor close to. the situation
said the Pope was in worse condi-
tion than a medical bulletin issued
at 6 p.m. had indicated. This
source said the Pontiff actually
was still afflicted with partial
paralysis that affected his upper
body, face and speech.
There also were signs that the
Pope possibly was delirious.
Monsignor Angelo Dell 'Acqua,
Substitute Secretary of State,
visited the bedside and isaid the
Pope had asked "why the audi-
ences had been suspended."
No Audiences
The secretary indicated that he
had to insist to the Pope that
audiences were for the time being

PARIS (kP) - Premier Charles
de Gaulle's government yesterday
adopted for France an electoral
system like that of the United
States and set dates for two elec-
tions.
The old party list system was
junked.
A National Assembly for the
Fifth Republic will be chosen.Nov.

tricts where no candidate gets an
absolute majority on the first bal-

The election of France's first.
strong-executive president, to be
handled by an electoral college of
perhaps 100,000 persons including
members of Parliament, was set
for Dec. 14. A second ballot, if
necessary, 'will be held Dec. 21.
It is virtually certain that Pre-
mier de Gaulle will be a candi-
date. It is almost equally certain
that he will be elected on the first
ballot, when an absolute majority
will be required. A plurality suf-
fices on the second round.
In its first major decision since
the Fifth Republic was pro-
claimed, Premier de Gaulle's cab-.
inet reverted to the single-seat
constituency system used under
the Third Republic.

At Strike Plant
Detroit (a) - Paul D. Bagwell
was booed yesterday when he car-
ried his Republican campaign for
Governor to a strikebound auto
plant.
Bagwell, -rival of the Democrat-
ic incumbent Gov. G. Mennen
Williams, drove in his station wa-
gon to the East Jefferson Avenue
plant of Chrysler Corp..
Aides said the plan was to meet
workers on their change of shift
but instead 300, strife pickets of
the United Auto *Workers were
encountered.
A number of pickets ran toward
Bagwell's car, calling out boos. A
sound truck broke off playing the
union's "Solidarity Forever" song
and made noises in place of it.
After a short time Bagwell'
drove away. Later he joked about
it, saying: "This is the first time
I've been booed en masse."

Alcorn Says
Democrats Use
Appeasement
WASHINGTON (') - Meade
Alcorn, Republican National.
Chairman, yesterday accused the
Democrats of following a policy
of appeasement in the Formosa
crisis.
Alcorn made the charge in
commenting on aanew campaign
pamphlet issued by the GOP com-
mittee discussing the basic phil-,
osophies of the two parties. It hit
particularly at the Democrats on,
foreign policy, saying during Dem-
ocratic administrations "World
Communism has made its greatest
gains."
"Democrats, who are quick and
loud to criticize the conduct of
foreign affairs by! others," the
pamphlet said, "seek to cover up
their own tragic mistakes and
blunders.
"Besides involvement in three,
wars, they agreed to some of the
biggest giveaway deals in history
at foreign conference tables."
impossible. The Pope has received
millions of people in audience
during his 19-year reign.
Another indication that the
Pontiff's condition had become
more grave was the announcement
that the Vatican press office
planned to remain open through-
out the night.
A slight deterioration had been
reported in the Pope's condition
earlier in the evening.
Urinary Difficulty
Vatican sources said members
of the Papal household disclosed
the return of a urinary difficulty.
His physicians had reported it
cleared up this morning. i
Other indications of deteriora-
tion were a quickened pulse-a
beat of 102 per minute - and a
slight fever at a temperature of
99.5 degrees. Normal body tem-
perature is about 98.6.
The ,Pope's condition improved
markedly during the day.
Reserved Optimism
There was reserved optimism
over the rally shown by the 82-
year-old Pontiff. The Tuesday
morning medical bulletin said he
had come out of the coma, thrown
off the paralysis and taken some
nourishment.
The Tuesday evening medical
bulletin said his general condition
remained satisfactory but it re-
ported the high 'pulse and fever.
Doctors said a kidney block.had
been overcome. This urinary con-
dition set in Monday night, and
a urologist was summoned to help
relieve it. ,
Staf f Post
By Persons.
WASHINGTON (I)-Gen. Wil-
ton B. (Jerry) Persons took over
yesterday as President Dwight D.
Eisenhower's No. 1 assistant.
Sherman Adams, who resigned
the top White House staff job
under fire, is staying around for
a while to help out.
Adams solemnly looked on from
the back of the room as Attorney
General William Rogers adminis-
tered the oath of office to the
lean, . 62-year-old retired major
general. And Adams didn't stick
around to join thk line of well-
wishers congratulating Gen. Per-
sons after the ceremony.
President Eisenhower was at the
front of the White House confer-
ence room beside Gen. Persons.
After Rogers administered the
oatl, President Eisenhower hand-
ed Gen. Persons his commission,
smiled and said:
"Well Jerry, here is a new di-
ploma. This is one of the many
capacities in which we have been
together."
Gen. Persons, a long-time close
associate and personal friend of
President Eisenhower, served with
him in the army. A member of the
White House staff since President
Eisenhower took office in 1953,
he has been Deputy Assistant to
the President. -
The White House said Adams
will stay on until there has been
an orderly transition. Press Secre-
tary James C. Hagerty said be did
not know how long that would be.
Adams resigned the $22,500-a-
year role of right-hand man to

there was no letup of the con-
tinuing criticism of his relations
with Boston industrialist Bernard
Goldfine, the gift-giving million-
aire.*

Says Truce
Will Cause
Pressures
WASHINGTON (M)-The new
Commander of Allied Forces in
South Europe said yesterday he
expects renewed Communist pres-
sure in the Middle East if the
cease-fire continues in Formosa
Strait.
Vice Adm. Charles R. Brown,
Commander of the United States
6th Fleet in the Mediterranean the
past 26 months, made the predic-
tion at a National Press Club
luncheon.
He said United States military
leaders were not surprised at the
eruption of Communist violence
in the Far East last Aug. 23 after
tension began to ease in the Mid-
^dle East.
"When trouble quiets down in
the Far East," .Adr. Brown said,
"it is very liable to break out again
in the Middle East."
The Admiral said he does not
think an atomic war ever will
come except as some "last wild
act of despair by a desperate, tot-
tering dictatorship." But, he add-
ed, the free world must be ready
to strike back.
Meanwhile, Adm. Brown said,
the Communists will stir up
trouble which could lead to limited
non-nuclear warfare.
Adm. Brown said the 6th Fleet
is being maintained'in a state of
constant readiness to meet what-
ever threat may develop. He pre-
dicted it would remain in Medi-
terranean waters for a long time
to "encourage our friends and
dissuade our enemies."
Adm. Brown said the fast-mov-
ing 6th Fleet would be no sitting
duck in the face of an- atomic
attack. He said it is probably one
of the least vulnerable targets in
the world today.
'Chinese
Warn U.S.
TOKYO (da) - Red China said
today an absence of American
intrusions into its 12-mile ter-
ritorial waters and air space yes-
terday was worthy of notice.
Radio Peiping, however, broad-
cast a 24th so-called serious warn-
ing to the United States, charging
that seven American warships in-
vaded China's territorial waters
in the Amoy area, and United
States planes flew 26 sorties be-
tween 6 p.m. Oct. .6-first day of
the ceasefire-and 6 a.m. Oct. 7.
The warning with the worthy
of notice broadcast came more
than four hours later than usual.
Any enemy aircraft seeking out
the fleet for an atomic attack "is
going to have to run a terrible
gauntlet to find and get at the
particular ship he really wants,"
Adm. Brown said.
ALGERIAN QUESTION-Prof. Henry Bretton of the political
science department and Jean Carduner of the French department
contemplate the implications of the new French constitution
before speaking at a meeting of the Political Issues Club held last
night in the Union..
Vi e Algera As threat

By BARTON HUTHWAITE
Algeria was viewed as the major threat to the success of the
recently approved French Constitution at a meeting of the Political
Issues Club last night.
"As.long as the Algerian problem is not solved, the French political
scene will continue to be unstable," Jean Carduner of the French
department emphasized.
'Wait and See'
Carduner, a French citizen urged a policy of "wait and see" in
reference to the new constitution. "Do not hope that it is a miracle
for France . . . we shouldn't be
blinded by the overwhelming ,
vote," he said. h uA

TAIPEI, Formosa (M - Com-
munist planes swooped over Que-
moy and touched off a hail of
Nationalist antiaircraft fire yes-
terday, straining the Red-pro-
claimed cease-fire in Formosa
Strait.
The Nationalist firing was the
first since Red China proclaimed a
week-long halt in its artillery
pounding of the offshore island
effective early Monday. No further
clashes were reported, and the
Nationalists took advantage of the
truce to push in more supplies by
air and sea.
Eight planes in'three formations
approached Quemoy at 4:25 p.m.,
the Nationalist Defense Ministry
said. They streaked over the island,
then raced for the mainland with
antiaircraft shells bursting around
them and machine gun tracers
probing the sky.
The Red planes made two passes
through a high overcast but did
not open fire.
Maj. Gen. I Fu-En, Nationalist
Air Force Intelligemce Chief, said
both jets and propeller planes may
have been involved. This raised
speculation the slower propelled
craft may have taken photographs
while MIG fighters provided cover,
The Red flights did not neces-
sarily violate the truce pledge.
Peiping's original announcement
said only that artillery shelling
of Quemoy would be suspended for
seven days. One condition, how-
ever, was that the United States
cease convoying Nationalist sup-
ply ships -to Quemoy.
Air drops were carried 'out at
Quemoy Monday night and twice
yesterday: Six Nationalist cargo
planes landed in quick succession
yesterday evening. Part: of -the
United States escorted sea convoy
that appeared three miles off Que-
moy on Monday unloaded the rest
of its equipment. Kramer reported
from Quemoy that no supplies
came :in from the sea yesterday,.
The Communists also were re-
ported busy.
