JOHN XXl/1'S FULL TITLE VATICAN CITY, Oct. 28 (Reuters) - The full title ot the new pope is: "Bishop of Rome, Vicar o! Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of the Apos• ties, Supreme Pontif! o! the Unlversal Church, Pa- triarch of the West, Pri- mate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of t h e Roman Province, Sover- eign ot th~ Vatican City State."

The new spiritual leader of the world's halt billion Roman Catholics becomes the 262nd pope. His election ended a three-day deadlock in 'the c o n c l a v e of 51 cardinals sealed in the Sistine Chapel to select a successor to Pius xn, who died Oct. 9. Vatican sf)urces said the new pope probably would be crowned with the triple papal tiara at ceremonies in St. Peter's Basilica on Nov. 9.
