...DIED. Giulio Natta, 76, co-winner of the 1963 Nobel Prize in Chemistry; of complications following surgery for a fractured femur; in Bergamo, Italy. In 1954, Natta revolutionized plastics technology by developing a method of catalyzing propylene gas into highly ordered chains of molecules that proved useful in the manufacture of fabrics, film, auto parts, detergents and countless other products...
...attack on Rome's Communist municipal administration. Whoever did the deed, the blast was only part of a surge in mayhem that has paralleled the campaigning for the June election that is to produce Italy's 42nd postFascist government. Since early April, after Christian Democratic Premier Giulio Andreotti's attempt to form another Cabinet was stillborn because the Communists refused to support it, Italy has been racked by new violence...

Having in a few weeks time derailed a crippling strike, guarded his nation's access to continued oil shipments and committed his monetary policy to the new European plan. Andreotti is being sternly tested once again. Already under attack from within his parliamentary coalition and even from fellow Christian Democrats, he will soon face a crucial vote on his new economic program. If he loses, Italy's fragile coalition government, which relies on the Communists for support, could...
