"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.

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 31 Russians Baulk At Returning ilosio By DON DOANE BAD TOELZ, Germany, Jan. 20 -(APJ—Ten Russians who fought for the Gcimans on the Eastern Flront committed suicide and 21 cluers slashed themselves in u flaming pr soners’ barracks at Dachau Saturday when American soldiers tried to force them to re turn to Russia, United States 3rd Army Headquarters announced.
