...parliamentary form. Before the Italian Chamber was an uninspired piece of legislation aimed at modifying an old Fascist law which gave extensive authority to military courts. For support of the mild proposed modification, the Christian Democrats depended on the votes of Italy's Monarchist and neo-Fascist right...
...army of nearly 900 candidates ranged the countryside last week in competition for the regional assembly's 90 seats. (Current division: Demo-Christians 30, the Communist and left-wing Socialist "bloc of the people" 30, neo-Fascist M.S.I, II , Monarchists 10, others 9).

Scelba is regarded...
Violation of Sanctuary. Next day, there was another clash between police and demonstrators, mostly students (but including some neo-Fascist toughs). This time the police used fire hoses and tear gas. They chased some of the rioters into the famous old Church of San Antonio, and in a surprising violation of the traditional right of sanctuary, continued to swing their clubs inside...
