June Treaty? But fortnight ago at Turin, De Gaulle won support for his proposal from Italy's Premier Amintore Fanfani. In return, De Gaulle conceded specifically that: 1) a unified Europe will seek to strengthen, not undermine, the Atlantic Alliance; 2) heads of government will have no authority over the Common Market's economic affairs; 3) other existing supranational institutions, such as Europe's Coal & Steel Community, will remain independent...
...risky reality. In effect, the Christian Democratic Party shed some of its right-wing allies in parliament and went into partnership with Pietro Nenni's left-wing Socialists, who had long been working closely with the Communists. Chief architect of the experiment is shrewd, scholarly Premier Amintore Fanfani, who believes that only through the Nenni alliance can he muster the votes needed for necessary domestic reforms (TIME, Feb. 9). But many left-wingers predict gloomily that Nenni will become a hostage of the right, while conservatives fear that Fanfani will become a hostage of the left. Rome...
Immediate Goals. Retaining his post as head of the new government, post-war Italy's 23rd, Fanfani reshuffled his previous Cabinet to eliminate Christian Democrats who opposed the controversial apertura.

Giovanni Malagodi, leader of the free-enterprising Liberals, who were dropped from Fanfani's coalition, warned that the rearrangement would make possible "a federation of little Red republics" in such Communist strongholds as Umbria, Tuscany and Emilia...
Immediately after last week's Christian Democratic congress, Fanfani offered his resignation as Premier to President Giovanni Gronchi, who will probably ask him to form a new government this week. Unlike the old, entirely Christian Democratic Cabinet, the new one will include other parties. Among the likely new members: Giuseppe Saragat, leader of the right-wing Socialists, who may be Foreign Minister; Ugo La Malfa, boss of the moderately leftist Republican Party, who may be Finance Minister. Not in the Cabinet but supporting the new government will be Pietro Nenni's left-wing Socialists, whose support Fanfani feels...
