...from the so-called New Force on the far left and the Fanfanani (followers of former Premier Amintore Fanfani) to Rumor's own moderate rightists. The wildly fragmented Socialists picked up a total of nine ministries, including foreign affairs for veteran Socialist Leader Pietro Nenni, 77. The deputy premiership, too, went to a Socialist-Francesco de Martino, who is Nenni's subordinate in the party but has now become his superior in the government. Only the far-out leftists were unrepresented. The Republicans, third and smallest party in the coalition, picked up one ministry...
...Huong was upset when Peace Candidate Dzu was sentenced last month to five years at hard labor for advocating talks with the National Liberation Front. The Premier tried to change Thieu's mind, but he failed. Yet in less than three months in office, Huong has given the premiership-and with it, by extension, civilian government in South Viet Nam-an aura of respectability it had never attained under others. Huong's hope is that the aura will grow. As one of the Premier's associates put it last week: "We do not expect to last...

At their expense, gains were made by the small parties, notably the "clean government" Komeito Party (tour seats), which is backed by the Soka Gakkai sect of Buddhists, the Communist...
...accession is not likely to affect the government's firm public stance against any coalition with the Communists, nor make much difference to the talks that are going on in Paris. Far more important from the point of view of the U.S., which wholeheartedly endorses Huong's premiership, is that Huong is likely to replace the technicians of the outgoing Cabinet with civilian politicians like himself. If he does so, the government will be considerably strengthened in terms of popular support. It is likely to need all such support it can get in the trying days of talking...
