Giuseppe Sotgiu, 52, once a poor but very clever lad from Sardinia, had worked his way through school and taken a degree in jurisprudence with the highest honors. A onetime Socialist newspaperman and then a law professor, he emerged as a Communist lawyer after Mussolini's downfall, much honored for his anti-Fascist record.

In the dry, precise style of an economics professor (which he once was), 46-year-old Amintore Fanfani outlined a substantial program: more government housing, another 65,000 schoolrooms, stone-clearing projects in Sardinia and reforestation in the mountain districts, cheaper loans for farmers, wage boosts for workers, better tax enforcement. These measures reflected his leanings to the liberal wing of his Christian Democratic Party.
