The same year the Association for the Improvement of Mental Health presented her its Adolph Meyer Award for a series on psychiatry. Professionals practicing in the field of mental health ordinarily are chosen for the honor rather than w'riters.

Pope John Sinks Into Deep Coma After Rallying VATICAN CITY UPI — Pope John XXIII sank back into the deep coma of the dying early today after dramatically regaining consciousness for five hours. Doctors held no hope his life. An official of the Vatican secretariat of state left the apartment of the 81-year-old pope at I 8:05 a.m. 3:05 a.m., EDT, and J said the pontiff once again had lost consciousness. "The Holy Father is struggling against the illness,” the Vatican press office announced. “But he appears to be quiet.” The Vatican said Pope John’s period of consciousness had brought renewed pain, and his surprised doctors emphasized there had been no real improvement. They said the Pope could die at any moment. Vatican Radio said at 10 a.m. 5 a.m., EDT, the Pope was being given oxygen and his “robust constitution is still resisting the advance of the exorable disease.” The Pope, who is suffereing from a stomach tumor that is believed to be cancer, came out of his first six-hour coma at 2:45 a.m. He sat up in bed, sipped coffee and talked with his relatives who arrived Friday after he lost consciousness. At 7 a.m., when the Pope still was conscious, a Vatican spokesman said "he is suffering very heavy pain. His pulse is good.” The first indication that the pontiff was slipping back into the coma came at 7:50 a.m., when the Vatican announced: “The Holy Father presently is in a state of drowsiness. The pains subsided a great deal but still can be felt. He is using an oxygen mask and his pulse is good.” Fifteen minutes later it w'as announced the Pope once more had lost consciousness. Outside in St. Peter's Square the crowd w'aiting for word on the Pope’s condition dwindled to about 100 persons at 3 a.m., but more people began to gather as dawn approached. Friday night, before the Pope regained consciousness, the throngs numbered in the thousands.
