17 A-17 BER3H.PASSACHL!ISC CCuMiES, kW JERSEY THE RECORD. THURSDAY. MAY 21. 1931 CLOSEOUT SLEEPKSBASS Pope shows speedy improvement, begins eating For lunch yesterday, the pope ate a thin soup and a mashed boiled pear, one of his doctors, Francesco Cru-citti, told reporters. A dozen of the pope's 26 stitches were removed, be added.

John Paul's prognosis is still "guarded." which means doctors are not ready to predict a full recovery. Dr. Luigi Candia, director of Gemelli Policlinico, the hospital treating the pope, said the "guarded" prognosis might be lifted today, but he cautioned, "It is not something you can make a firm prediction on." Yesterday's medical bulletin from the hospital said the pope was continuing to recover normally. "Yesterday morning and afternoon, the holy father took a few steps and he rested in an armchair for a short time," the bulletin said. One of the bullets that hit the pope tore through his intestines, and doctors performed a temporary colostomy.

Another operation will be needed to return the ROME (AP) Pope John Paul II is improving rapidly, eating some soft food and taking a few steps around his hospital room. But investigators questioning Mehmet Ali Agca, the man accused of shooting the pontiff, are more baffled than ever. "The further we go, the more mysterious he gets," said a police official. "It's possible he did it for the reasons he said, by himself. It's also possible someone paid him to do it" 3 in tL intestine to its normal place, the doctors say.

Doctors also had encouraging news about the two American women injured with the pope in the spray of bullets May 13 in St Peter's Square. Ann Odre, 58, of Buffalo, wounded in the chest in the attack, was "feeling really comfortable" yesterday, said Robert Zapfel, a seminarian in Rome who has been acting as her interpreter at the Santo Spirito Hospital near the Vatican. Rose Hall, 21, a resident of Wuerzenburg, West Germany, who was shot in the left elbow, will be released from the Santo Spirito hospital over the weekend, her chief Italian physician. Dr. Federico Menegh-ini, said.

Prosecutors interrogating Agca, charged with attempting to murder the pope and the two women, say they are still unable to fix the motive. "He's not cray, that's sure. He's not a schizophrenic. But all of his statements confuse us. We haven't been able to figure out who this man is," a police source said.

Turkish police believe Agca, who was convicted in absentia in April 1980 of murdering a journalist in Turkey, has links wRh various Moslem right-wing groups. They believe someone helped him escape from jail in November 1979 and helped him get the false passport he used to travel around Europe for 18 months before the papal shooting. Sources said Agca told police, "I shot the pope because I consider him responsible for the reaction of the West against Islam and the head of the crusade that is being conducted against my faith." Agca claims he acted alone in shooting the pope, getting money for his travels by extortion, the sources report Leader pleads guilty in Dominica invasion NEW ORLEANS (AP) The alleged ringleader of an aborted invasion of the Caribbean island of Dominica unexpectedly appeared in federal court yesterday and pleaded guilty. The development came as the result of a plea-bargaining agreement between Michael Perdue, 32, of Houston and government prosecutors. U.S.

District Judge Lansing Mitchell ordered the details of the agreement sealed. Sentencing was set for June 17. Perdue pleaded guilty to the second count of an indictment, acknowledging that he was involved in the planning and financing of the invasion force. "I had paid for it," he told the judge during the brief appearance. U.S.

Attorney John Volz said the plea bargaining agreement included a plan for the government to ask the judge to dismiss all other charges against Perdue. Perdue and nine other men six of whom have been linked to the Ku Klux Klan were arrested at a Louisiana marina Apr. 27. Prosecutors said they were ready to launch a small invasion force to the tiny island, where they intended to overthrow the government and restore its deposed prime minister to power. The others, pleading innocent, remain in jail in lieu of bond.

According to the seven-count indictment in the case, Perdue was promised $150,000, control of gambling and tourism on the island, and a high government post by former Prime Minister Patrick John, who was defeated in the country's elections last year. The others six Americans and two Canadians were to be hired to help train a beef ed-up defense force in Dominica, the indictment said. The men were caught, the government said, when Perdue tried to get an undercover agent to charter a fishing boat for the mercenaries. 190 VaiW bmiCnh, nanus uscem umnmumx rhMMMS-1550 1 95 W.
