A Vatican medical bulletin said the four doctors attending the 70-year-old pontiff had examined him Wednesday and found him ready to face surgery. The recurrancc of fever that had interrupted his activities hue Saturday had subsided, the bulletin said, and the chemical tests had confirmed the renewal of the Pope's good condition. The operation, according to informed sources, will be for removal of the prostate gland, although medical bulletins issued since the first onset of the Pope's illness on Sept.

I have spoken only of a urinary tract infection. The four medical men inspected the recently modernized three-room surgical suite on the third floor of the Vatican palace and found it perfectly adequate by modern surgical standards, the bulletin said. Earlier Wednesday the Pope urged the faithful to "look upon the reality of our ultimate destinies." Speaking upon the occasion of the Roman Catholic all Saints Day and in commemoration of the Feast Day of the Dead Thursday, the Pope said the "modern mentality, entirely occupied with the fleeting scene of the moment, does not know and does not want to look upon" this reality. The Pope's midday address to the crowd in St. Peters from the window of his apartment was his first public appearance since a recurrance of fever from a kidney, blodder and urinary tract infection confined him to bed last Sunday.

In his brief speech the 70-year-old pontiff made no reference to his health but expressed his thanks to all those "who are taking an interest in it." His voice was slightly weaker than usual but his gestures were firm and sure. Joh By nson people were united rather divided. Ihan don't think they helped our Ma-I rin a whole lot up there on gram.

At an impromptu news conference, the President said that if the demonstrators knew about Communist propaganda based on the anti-war protests, they would see that they "have not contributed a great deal to the solution that we so eagerly seek."

W. APPLE JR. 1967 New York Times News Service SAIGON The next summit meeting of nations allied in the Vietnam War has been postponed until after Jan. 1, possibly until February or early March, authoritative sources disclosed Wednesday. The meeting had been tentatively scheduled for November or December, either in Seoul, South Korea, or Bangkok, Thailand.

As a result of the delay, the site is in doubt. "It suddenly became apparent that nobody really wanted a meeting very badly," one senior United States official said. "These things don" come off unless someone is pressing the point." Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, who concluded his visit to South Vietnam Wednesday, reportedly did not discuss the summit idea with either President Nguyen Van Thieu or Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky. But his visit convinced American officials of what they had suspected that there would be no meeting before 1968.

Following the Guam conference last March, at which President Johnson met with the South Vietnamese leaders, White House sources said the President intended to have a meeting, either with the Vietnamese alone or with all the allies, about every six months. According to that timetable, the next conference was due bst month. The conference was delayed for a number of reasons, but chiefly because it would have been difficult to interrupt the South Vietnamese electoral campaign which began early in August and ended, in a sense, 1 with Tuesday's inauguration of; President Thieu. i Arms Conference Panel Agrees In Principle To Stop Worldwide Program By June 30 Concessional Resolution On Troop Use Stymied WASHINGTON (AP) Disagreement within the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Wednesday clouded prospects of a resolution seeking a greater voice for Congress in committing U.

ers By JOE ZELLNER ATLANTA. Ga. (AP) A 17-year-old high school boy sent spiders on LSD "trips" through distorted webs and concluded that the controversial drug holds the clue to a cure for schizophrenia, a mental disorder. The experiments by Kenneth Healey, a senior at suburban Decatur High, represent a departure from the more widely publicized use of drugs by youths for psychedelic trips with themselves as guinea pigs. His research earned him a special plaque from the National Food and Drug Administration.

It will be presented by Commissioner James L. Goddard in ceremonies in Washington Thursday.

The first problem was to gain access to LSD then an experimental drug. After numerous efforts through governmental channels, he received nermission to go ahead under the supervision of an Emory University professor.

"I feel that the greatest value of my experiments lies in the field of mental disease, specifically schizophrenia." he said in his report. "The effects of LSD definitely resemble those of schizophrenia. This greatly infers that schizophrenia is caused by a chemical disorder rather than a mental one." Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder char-a i by the disintegration of personality. Thus, he concluded, 'schizophrenia may be as easy to cure as diabetes simply by administering a certain drug to the patient.
