To Rebuild Monte liassino Monastery

__.._-

By JOHN TALBOT HOME, Jan. 20 - (Reuters) ... The historic monastery of Monte Casslno, dominating the heights for which thousands of men fought —and died-in one of the war’: most bitter battles, is to be com. plctely rebuilt.

Don Ildefonso Rea, Abbot of Monte Cassino, said the Allis-s are assisting in rebuilding the mon- astcry.

Arrangements have been pleted for 100 Roman Catholic Gor- man prisoners of war to start claim"! BWBy rubble and hugc blocks of masonry pre oratory to rebuilding. All the pr soners voi- unteered for the work.

"We wish we could rebuild the monastery Just as it was and where it was, for Monte Ciusino is the mother church of the Benedic- tine Order and has always contain- ed the tomb of the founder of our order, St. Benedict," the Abbot said.

"Both the tomb and the body of St. Benedict was ‘untouched by the tremendous air raids on the monastery, but. they are buried un- der tons of fallen masonry."

The monastery, founded 5N A. D. by St. Benedict, became the ccn- tre of a great controversy (luring the Italian campaign when the Al- lies maintained that the Germans svcre using it as an observation post. Despite denials from both Italian and German sources the Allied High Commands were con- vinced that the monastery was he'- im: put to such use. In February, 1944, fleets of Allied bombers re- duced the huize building to rubble in a series of concentrated raids.

_.-q- By ROBERT C. WILSON

PARIS, Jan. 20 — (AP) - Gen. Charles de Gaulle resigned tonight as interim president of France in a dispute with left-wing cabinet members over the size of his coun- try's armed forces.

The announcement was made by Gen. de Gaul1e’s secretary, who said the Generals decision was “irrevocablefi

Communists and Socialists had demanded an additional 20 r cent cut in the budget for rance's army. Gen. dc Gaulle, Franco's first elected chief of state in iivo years, stepped down after 48 hours of conferences with party leaders.

Gen. de Gaulle will address the people by radio tomorrow night. when he is ex cted to state his case in the th rd French govern- ment crisis in two months.

Gen. de Gaulle strode abruptly from a turbulent cabinet session early in the day. A well-informed source said proposals to reduce the army budget were opposed by the President “because of the Interna- tional situation."

Foreign Minlster Georges Bid- ault, member of the Popular Re- publican Movement Party (MR9), and the Socialist Minister of.State. Vincent Aurlol, hastened back from the London meeting of the Unit- ed Natlons General Assembly be- cause of the gravity of the crisis within their government.

The cabinet session followed re- peated newspaper attacks on na- tional defense expenditures and on the administration of Army lVliniater Armand Michelet, a mem- bar of the MR1’. The situation became tense Saturday, and some well-informed persons were con- sidering the possibility that a Com- munlst-Socialist Government might be formed, headed by a Radical Socialist. Edouard Herriot. pre- war premier, is leader-e! thefiadi- cal Socialists.

Gen. de Gaulle was reported to have stated his position to the cabinet bluntly, on a take-it-or- leave-it basis, and then to have left the meeting before it was con- eluded.

The issues at stake were not made clear immediately. either by Gen. de Gaulle or by his coalition cabinet. which was born in the
