Before Amintore Fanfani,
Secretary General Of the Ital-
ian Christian Demorctic Party,
left 10 visit the United States
he was told by various Euro
pean politicians to regard the
American political conventions
as something of a spectacle.
After spending the last two
weeks watching the events in
Chicago and San Francisco.
Signor Fanfani finds our con-
ventions more than just a good
show.
According to one of his aides,
Signor Fanfani was greatly i'm
pressed by the degree to which
the American people-all of
them-are able to participate
in a convention. This, the aide
added. does not happen in the
congresses of political parties
in Europe which are smaller
and more closed.
Signor Fanfani, who arrived
in Washington Sunday was
guest of honor yesterday at a
party at the italian embassy
given by the Charge d'affaires,
Egidio Ortona.
Through an interpreter, he
told guests he thought the
United States conventions were
"marvelouS-very original and
very interesting"
+. Although urged by reporters
to say more, Mr.. Fanfani would
not elaborate. One reporter
said he must have been a dip
lomat.
That reminds me of my

said. Fifteen days after I
