When he slipped into a coma about 11 p. m. Friday, his doctors said death was at most a few hours away. "He suffers no more," Vatican Radio quoted a doctor as saying.

"He is passing away." Talks of Life The Vatican press office quoted the Pope, 81, as saying during his period of consciousness: "I am the resurrection and the life. Jesus! Jesus!" The Pope, brought to the door of death by peritonitis, which aggravated stomach hemorrhaging, came out of he coma about 3 a. and recognized his three brothers and widowed sister. He also recognized prelates around him, a Vatican broad cast said, and blessed all those present. Calls Names The Vatican press office said he addressed those in the room by name, individually, and thanked his doctors.

He also sipped some coffee, the press office said. The press office said the Pope embraced each brother Pope's Life In Pictures: Page 3 and to each repeated the Latin words: "Ego sum resur-rectio et vita." (I am the resurrection and the life). A A iCW Life "With death a new life starts, the glorification of Christ, the Pope was quoted by the Vatican press office as telling a doctor. "He often kisses a crucifix with great devotion and piety, repeating prayers and Biblical phrases," the press office said. "Doctors have made known that such a rally is common in peritonitis cases.

"This therefore must not raise any illusions. The condition remains grave." "Strongest Pain" A Vatican Radio communique at 7 a. m. today said: "The Holy Father is still fully conscious. However, he is suffering strongest, pain.

C. The Soviet Union set off atmospheric nuclear tests yielding five times more energy than United States tests in 1962, according to government figures released Friday. The two nations doubled the amount of radioactive debris in the world with the 1962 tests and record levels of fallout should come to Earth this year.

As one result, Americans will have four times more strontium-90 in their total diet this year than last. However, the Federal Radiation Council, in releasing fallout figures, concluded that "the health risks from radioactivity in foods, now and over the next several years, are too small to justify counter-measures" to remove the fallout from the food. Russian, testing through mnrh nf iQfi? had hppn in the Soviet air tests, compared to 37 megatons from American air tests, the council reported. A megaton equals 1,000,000 tons of TNT. Dirty Fission Fusion reactions account for most of energy re- pidte in atomic doihus anu the trigger of hydrogen bombs, release most of the radioactive fallout.

Fission accounted for 60 megatons of the Russian total, or 33 per cent. It accounted for 16 megatons of the United States total or 43 per cent. Thus, the American tests mighXAbe, what dirt considered some- rtier than the Soviet experiments not nuantif in quality but not quantity. The Atomic Energy Commission has announced 39 tests by the Soviet Union last year, compared to 36 by the United States. This suggests that Russian blasts were much larger.

In 1961, the Soviet Union detonated 120 megatons of meKaiuns ui as nshiuii yield. The U. S. fired no atmospheric blasts that year. Thus, in the two years since the Russians ended the test moratorium, they have contributed more than five times more fallout than the U.

S. Measurements of strontium-90 in food supplies and total diet of Americans rose from a range of 4 to 8 Strontium Units in 1961 to 8 to 13 in 1962. The council predicted this will rise to 50 in 1963, about a four-fold increase. In Milk, Too Only one-fourth of the 50 Strontium Units will be incorporated into new bone being formed this year, a council spokesman said. This means that the strontium fallout is still one-fourth of a level set by the council as an acceptable amount in new bone.

Strontium-90 in milk will be twice the values observed last year, the council said. The council's predictions of fallout from 1962 tests will double the very small risk of genetic damage to unborn children. This risk was estimated in a previous council report as one in a million; it thus becomes one in 500,000. ing of a younger man. For the Pontiff was almost 77 years old.

But Pope John XXIII promptly tossed any such notion into the discard. This son of a poor Italian sharecropper started off by breaking precedents. He made lit plain that he was mapping his own course without being bound by customs.
