The Christian Democrats have

lack seven seats of a Senate ma

Mr.. Scelba got along by Or
ganizing a coalition government
with three minor center parties
the right-wing Socialists. Liberals
and Republicans-which to-
gether have 81 chamber seats.
But with a recent decline in the
popularity of these center parties
at the polls. both the right and
left wings of the Christian
Democrats clamored for a
change.
Mr.. Pella and his rightist sup

Christian Democrat government
which presumably would operate
with the unofficial support of
the 80 Monarchists in the
chamber. The leftists faction
urged q tieup with the rs Nenni
Socialists in the Lower House.
Mr.. Scelba's downfall was due
largely to the efforts Of Mr..
