Youth Is Served. The big man of the congress was not Ex-Premier Alcide de Gasperi, 73, now the party's secretary general, or Premier Mario Scelba, who has held the government together since February.

The vote: 427 to 75. In renouncing his own law and in joining with the Reds in repealing it, Scelba confessed a galling defeat but did himself no political harm. His government has now lasted four months in office and shows signs of staying power...
