...Premier Alcide de Gasperi. The Monarchists and neo-Fascists stuck stonily to their decision to throw all their votes against him. His long-time allies of the center, the Liberals, Social Democrats and Republicans, would not give him even one of their 38 votes. The Red Socialists of Pietro Nenni and their friends the Communists sat in the Chamber of Deputies behind smug smiles of triumph. "Italy." said owlish Communist Boss Palmiro Togliatti placidly, "will certainly and inevitably pass through the Communist experience...
...With Pietro Nenni, clever leader of the fellow-traveling Socialists (75 seats), De Gasperi had his longest talk. The two spoke with the intimate second-person "tu" a reminder of the days they spent together as wartime anti-Fascist refugees in the Vatican. Of course, said Nenni, he did not expect De Gasperi to denounce the North Atlantic pact, but was it necessary to show such "excessive zeal" in promoting it?

Palmiro Togliatti's Communists and Pietro Nenni's fellow-traveling Socialists had been expected only to hold their own. In the last days of the campaign, a U.S. Senate committee hearing 4,000 miles away gave the leftists effective ammunition for crumbling one of the pillars of De Gasperi's campaign-his ability to keep U.S. aid flowing to Italy. Communist newspapers and orators recited...
...Social Democrats, headed by Giuseppe Saragat, who chose democracy when Pietro Nenni led the rest of the Socialists into alliance with the Communists. Saragat has some 2,000,000 followers, mostly in the industrial north...
