VATICAN CITY, May 4 (AP)
Pope John XIII will travel
to the Benedictine monastery
of Montecassino on May 20 to
consecrate q new altar in the
once bomb-destroyed abbey,
Vatican sources said tonight.
The trip of 70 miles south
east Of Rome has been timed to
coincide with Ascension Thurs
day, solemn feastday commem-
Grating Christ's ascent into
Heaven. wellSinformed Vatican
sources said.
It would be the longest trip
for the 81-year-old Roman
Catholic Pontiff since his his
toric pilgrimage by train across
Italy to the shrines at Loreto
and Assist one week before the
Vatican Ecumenical Council
opened last october IL.
The famous Montecassino
abbey near Frosinone is con-
Sidered the cradle Of Western
monasticism. st. Benedict or
ganized his community of men
there and wrote the rule for
Benedictine monks at the hill
top monastery before his death
In SAT.
The abbey, within the Ger
man lines, overhung Casino,
one Of the fiercest battlefronts
Of World War II. After with
holding fire, Allied air and
ground forces finally bonn
barded Montecassino.
The ancient buildings Of the
abbey, mostly dating from the
18th century, disappeared In
smoke and rubble. Montecas-
sino was rebuilt after the war
and the monks moved back.
The basilica at the abbey
took longest to reconstruct.

again. But he probably could
not hold the job after July.
Mr.. Kennedy is due here at
the end Of June. If he has to

The new parliament, with
the center weakened and the
anti -Fanfani liberals Of the

Before then Mr.. Fanfani
must resign the center-left
government with which he has
ruled for IS months with Marx

Antonio Segni will pick a pre-

Mr.. Fanfani probably will get
the nod, because despite his

Chances are fading for any
action by Congress this year
to overhaul and modernize the
Governments dual compensa-
ton laws governing Federal
employment Of retired military
personnel.
The main reason is the Budg-
ct Bureaus action thus far in
holding up clearance Of the
Civil Service Commissions
suggested legislative proposals
ito Congress.
Until the Budget Bureaus
approval can be secured. the
legislation can't be sent TO
Capitol Hill. And csc Off
cials are becoming pessimistic
that 1t will, or that 1t will be
sent in time TO have any hopes
for action.
The csc has worked out
compromise legislation which
II hopes will satisfy all groups
concerned - retired military
and reserve officers organiza-
tions, veterans groups. Govern
tnent employe unions and
others.
Under the cSC's proposals,
more retired military men
would be eligible for civil serv-
ice Jobs. However, those Sc
curing such Jobs would not get
veterans preference and Job re-
tention over present Federal
employees as is presently often
the case.
Budget Bureaus inaction on
the proposal Is not based on
money reasons-the bill in
wolves little or no cost. Rather,
there seems TO be some feeling
that the suggested changes
would really satisfy no group
and would lead 10 greater con-
troversy.

workers are concerned, he feels
there are adequate ways of sep
arating them from the Govern
ment service. But as long as
an employe is retained on the
payroll and given a satisfac-
tory rating, that is enough
prima facie evidence to justify
his getting his regular Within
grade pay raises, Mr.. Ramspeck
believes.
AS a result Of the criticisms
Of Mr.. Ramspeck's, who, Incl
dentally. formerly was a csc
chairman. plus other criticism
from the press and Congress,
the csc may take action to
liberalize its Interpretation OF
the new provision. II 1t doesn't
there's a good chance that Con-
