...election and the residue of ill-feeling it engendered endanger Prime Minister Amintore Fanfani's center-left coalition government, the much-publicized Christian Democratic "opening to the left."

...considerable misgiving: a plan to create 15 regional governments with autonomy in such matters as roadbuilding, vocational education, control of local police. Four such regions* were formed years ago, but since then the scheme was shelved by the Christian Democrats, who feared that Communists, alone or allied with the Nenni Socialists, would build up powerful grass-roots political machines. 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...
