...Rizzoli publishes Candido, a savagely satirical weekly edited by right-wing Novelist Giovanni (The Little World of Don Camillo) Guareschi; Oggi, a slightly milder weekly with Monarchist politics; L'Europeo, which leans slightly left of center. To round matters out, Rizzoli is a close personal friend of Pietro Nenni, fellow-traveling leader of Italy's Communist-captured Socialists, often entertains Nenni at his villa and aboard his yacht, and contributes heavily to the Red Socialists' treasury...
Standing before the Chamber of Deputies last week, Premier Mario Scelba said: "I have the honor to present . . . the law for the European Defense Community." A left-wing voice cried out: "You call that an honor?" and the Communists and Nenni (proCommunist) Socialists set up a chorus of hoots and jeers at Scelba...
...moviemaking and other strongholds, Scelba announced that as of mid-April, Communist and fellow-traveling organizations will have to get out of government-owned facilities or face eviction proceedings. The Communists, for example, print their official newspaper, L'Unità, in a government-controlled printing plant. Pietro Nenni's Red-affiliated Socialists were the first to get specific eviction notes. They were told they had three months to vacate their Milan headquarters, a building where Mussolini founded his Fascist fighting squads...
Close to half the Senators walked into the chamber firmly opposed to the new regime−the Communists and the neo-Fascists because they favor chaos and particularly hate the man who swung the policeman's billy so energetically against their riotmakers; the Nenni Socialists because, as one of their Senators confessed, the Socialist tie to the Communists "is becoming even greater;" the Monarchists because they dislike aspects of Scelba's mildly left-of-center political program...
Embarrassing Nenni. His Cabinet at last put together, Scelba turned to a program. First on his list: prompt ratification of the EDC treaty. A Trieste settlement was no longer a precondition to EDC approval, as it had been to Pella. The Monarchists, who are outside the government and much opposed to it, announced that they, too, would vote for EDC. Barring a long filibuster, this should assure its passage. Scelba also lined up a heavy public-works program and, with Saragat, mapped a campaign to lay down a steady succession of social-welfare projects that even Pietro Nenni would...
