(CP)-pope
Pius
is
reported
to
have
spent
a
virtually
sleepless
night
although
he
Is
declared
to
have
improved
somewhat
today.
Despite
the
slight
improvement,
concern
continues
to
be
felt,
throughout
the
Vatican
where
it
Is
feared
the
end
may
come
momentarily.
The
Pontiff's
heart
action
was
reported
to
be
w-iviring
last
night
as
he
continued
to
suffer
from
numerous
complications
of
old
age.
Already
there
Is
discussion
as
to
the
successor
to
Plus
XI.
The
name
of
Cardinal
Hayes
of
the
United
States
Is
mentioned
but
his
selection
Is
unlikely
unless
there
should
be
a
deadlock
among
the
Italian
Cardinals
who
outnumber
all
others
37
to
29.
An
Italian
Is
the
more
