Vatican City, Dec. 21 Pope Pius XI decided today to speak to the world on Christmas eve. The holy father, despite reiterat ed physicians’ orders for complete rest, ordered Father Soccorsi, the Vatican radio director, to prepare a broadcast from 12:30 p. m., Rome time, Thursday, (6:30 a. m. eastern standard time.) A microphone will be set up in the pope’s stiidy, next to his bed room. He will be carried to his desk and placed in an armchair for the talk. Vatican doctors expressed concern lest the pope overexert himself and impair his recovery from his slight attack of paralysis and his congest ed circulatory condition. But the pontiff, who was persuaded to can cel his traditional reception of car dinals on Christmas eve, was de termined on the broadcast. Usually he seizes the occasion of the reception to sum up his joys and sorrows of the year. In the lat ter category is the bloody Spanish war. The broadcast Thursday will give the holy father an opportunity to express his deep emotion over that conflict. An informed Vatican source said his holiness passed a very difficult night last night. He slept very little and his physician was summoned three times. o Three weeks after R. A.
