The pontiff's blood pressure dropped drastically, and sources at the Vatican said this could indicate weakening of the heart, whose resistance to death has confounded all medical expectations. A medical bulletin at noon (6 a.m., CDT) said the Pope no longer felt the agonizing pain that had scourged his body earlier.

Sedatives and pain killers no longer were necessary. His temperature rose. At 1:35 p.m. a communique reported that the Pope's blood pressure had tiropped to 95. Five-and- a-half hours earlier it had been 115.

FOR THE thousands in St. Peter's Square there was nothing to do but wait, as they had waited through long night and daytime vigils ever since the Pope's first grave crisis. About 10,000 were in the square at noon, waiting for news of the beloved Pope whose life was flickering away like the flame of a spent candle. Luigi Cardinal Traglia, the Pope's pro-vicar for Rome, said he would celebrate an outdoor mass in the square in front of the great St. Peter's Basilica, just after sunset.

"Prayer is all that can be done for him now," said Vatican radio. "Since this morning he has been sinking steadily deeper into coma. For this reason it is no longer necessary to give him pain killers." This was the text of the noon bulletin: "For some hours there has beenj increasing in the pointiff a state' of stupor and therefore it has no longer been necessary to use sedatives and analgesics a i killers). "The temperature has gone up again. "The cardio-circulatory condition remains, nevertheless, rather valid." The 1 p.m.

bulletin said: "There is nothing new to report. The slow course of the ailment is being contained by the still fairly strong functioning of the cardio- circulatory system." 2 Highland Men Killed On X-Way Auto Falls 50 Feet Onto Cline Avenue; Police Blame Speed BLACK OAK Two Highland men were killed Sunday, about 6:25 a.m., their auto plunged 50 feet from the Tri- State Highway onto Cline avenue.
