Extraordinary Move. In Paris, right-wing Deputies in the National Assembly acted as if history were reversible. "We will never abandon the idea of Algerie Française!" cried Deputy Jean-Marie Le Pen. Despite the fact that De Gaulle has overwhelmingly won two national referendums on his Algeria policy, the rightists filed a motion of censure against the government, but were sharply defeated.

Fanfani then released the 40-odd votes he controlled. As applause greeted the tally that clinched Segni's election, Fanfani stared sullenly into the television camera. Taking defeat more gracefully was Segni's closest open opponent, moderate Social Democrat Giuseppe Saragat, who, as a partner in the government coalition, may be named Foreign Minister to fill Segni's now vacant position...
