LARGEST CONCLAVE NOW IN SESSION VATICAN CITY.—THE CONCLAVE OF CARDINALS TO ELECT A SUCCESSOR TO POPE JOHN XXIII BEGAN AT 6 P.M. ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, IN THE VATICAN'S SISTINE CHAPEL.
It is expected to be the largest conclave in the history of the Church, with 82 cardinals eligible to attend and vote. Microphones are being used for the first time at a c onclave. The Sistine Chapel has been wired for sound in much the same way as the Ecumenical Council hall, so that the cardinals and officials will not have to shout to be heard. The conclave date was set at the first general meeting of the cardinals following the death of Pope John. Church regulations require that a conclave open not less than 15 days and not more than 18 days after a Pope's death. Since the Pope died on June 3, the c ardinals could have chosen any date between June 18 and 21. On the morning of June 19 prior to entering into conclave, the cardinals received a formal reminder of the solemnity and weight of the duty they were to undertake. At a Mass of the Holy Spirit in St. Basilica, Monsignor Amleto Tondini, Secretary of Briefs to Princes —that is, the official translator of Latin documents at the Vatican —preached to the cardinals on the election.
* Nine Days The cardinals' first meeting on June 5 also decided that the "novemdiale," the official nine days of mournfling for the late Pope, was to begin on June 7, the day after his entombment in St. Peter's crypt, and run through to June 17. Two first-class feasts — Trinity Sunday (June 9) and Corpus Christi (June 13) —were not included in the mourning Period. Masses on the first six of the nine days were offered by members of the Papal Chapel, the group that officially attends the Pope at certain solemn functions such as consistories. The last three Masses, the most solemn, were celebrated by cardinals. The final Mass was a State occasion attended by representatives from over eighty countries throughout the World. The eulogy was delivered by Monsignor Giuseppe Del Ton, Secretary of Latin Letters. .The first meeting was presided over by Eugene Cardinal Tisserant, Dean of the College of Cardinals. It was attended by all cardinals of the Roman Curia, except Prancesco Cardinal Bracci and Carlo Cardinal Chiarlo.
R ing Broken
At their first meeting of the so-called interregnum— the period between the death of a Pope and the election of his successor— the cardinals present took t he interregnum oath, read documents left by Pope
John, set the date for the beginning of the mourning period and conclave, and destroyed Pope John's fisherman's ring. Cardinal Tisserant destroyed the ring with a hammer. The fisherman's ring is never worn by a Pope and is more accurately described as a seal bearing the reigning Pope's name which is impressed into the lead or wax seals of all his official documents. A seal is made for each Pope and is destroyed at his death. The cardinals' oath was taken in accordance with the laws governing an interregnum. It must be taken at the first general meeting by all cardinals present and by each cardinal arriving later so that all Would have taken it before entering the conclave. It requires cardinals to promise to obey all laws governing the interregnum, to defend the freedom of the Church during the interregnum, to preserve the secrecy of the conclave, and to proceed with the election of a new Pope according to
the best interests of the Church. At the second meeting, the cardinals received several documents from the sacred congregations of the Roman Curia and the die of the Papal Seal from the Apostolic Chancery. They also received the seal which is a copy of that on the fisherman's ring from the Office for Apostolic Briefs of the Papal Secretariat of State. The documents and seals were brought to the cardinals by Monsignor Federico Sargolini, a prelate of the Apostolic Chamber, acting on behalf of Benedetto Cardinal Aloisi Maseila, Chamberlain of the Holy Roman Church, who is in charge of the administration of the Church during the interregnum. The following day (June 7), the Vice-Chamberlain, Archbishop Luigi Centoz, also acting for Cardinal Aloisi Masella, took possession of the offices of the governor of Vatican City. Later in the day, Cardinal Aloisi Masella took possession of the Papal summer residence at Castalgandolfo.

Three "Died" With Pope , VATICAN CITY: THREE CHURCHMEN W H0M THE LATE POPE JOHN XXIII PICKED TO BECOME CARDINALS THREE YEARS AGO LOST THEIR PROSPECT OF JOINING THE COLLEGE OF CARDINALS WITH HIS DEATH. It was at the consistory of March 28, 1960, when he published the names of seven other new cardinals, that Pope John revealed he had also chosen three others "in petto." The term is an Italian one meaning "in the breast"—or secretly. If a Roman pontiff announces the creation of a cardinal, but reserves the name to himself for special reasons, the person thus promoted does not enjoy the rights and privileges of cardinals. But at the time the Pope does publish his
name, he takes seniority over other cardinals created after the time of the reservation in petto. In this case, however, the Pope tiied without publishing the names of the three in petto cardinals. Thus in effect their appointment to the College of Cardinals died with him.
