Pope John Holds General Audience

VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Pope John XXIII spoke calmly today of his illness and said he might still be Pope a year from now -- "or there will be another."

Still a bit pale, the 81-year-old Roman Catholic ruler seemed cheerful at his first general audience since becoming seriously ill Nov. 27.

His mood spread to the 1,000 persons admitted to the audience in the Clementine Hall of the Vatican. They laughed as he spoke of his health and age. He smiled.

His audience was one more step toward full resumption of his normal activities.
