Ailing Pope Spurns Rest; Attends Rites, Greets Pilgrims VATICAN CITY. (AP) The ailing Pope Pius took part in special prayers in the chapel of his official apartment this morning, opening a week of spiritual devotions at the Vatican. The pontiff, who yesterday addressed an audience of pilgrims after walking to the throne from his sedan chair, was carried into the chapel in the chair. He prayed with cardinals and other prelates for a half hour, when the service was suspended for 30 minutes to resume at 11:30. The pope, as he did yesterday, sat alone.

in the sacristy of the chapel he could hear the Jesuit Father de Giovanni deliver two brief sermons of mediation. The pontiff, however, was not visible to the cardinals and prelates of his ecclesiastical court who attended the services. These annual spiritual exercises were instituted by the pope in an encyclical in the yearly days of his reign as an to the clergy to be assiduous example, Vatican authorities said. Altho audiences ordinarily are suspended during the week of spiritual ercises, they added, the pope again showed his unwillingness to rest. To Greet Newlyweds He decided.

he was helped to an arm chair where, after prayers, he devoted attention for a time to Vatican affairs, receiving the Vatican sceretary of state, Cardinal Pacelli, at 9:30 for an hour before the spiritual exercises began. The pontiff Sunday, with surprising strength talked for 10 minutes to 400 Hungarian pilgrims after he had seated himself unaided on the papal throne. One of the pilgrims said he was "very pale but he appeared the master of his strength and unhesitating in his He chatted afterwards for a few minutes with Justinian George Cardinal Seredi, archbishop of Strigonia, who led the pilgrims.

During the 11-year period, the association reported that $100.7000.000 in interest had been paid on bond issues of $135,571,110, noting that New Jersey's "school bond interest payments are corded as the highest per pupil in the United States." Most of the bonds were listed as issued between 1927 and 1930, "when an ambitious program of school construetion brought about extensive spending and borrowing." Its study, said the association, points "to the need for careful consideration by the taxpayers of any new construction with its resulting bonded debt." but does not "suggest curtailment beyond the point of necessity."
