ROME. The hotly dis
puted election of Antonio
Segni, the aScetic and ideal
istic Italian foreign minister,
as president was greeted with
relief by most European dip
lomats. And strangely enough,
despite the apathy Of the av-
erage Italian on political
matters. 1t was also a relief
to the general public. During
several days Of the nine bal
lotings Italians seemed to be
more interested in a horse
show at the Villa Borghese
than in the politicians in the
Chamber of Deputies.
Americans can find many
similarities between their
conventions and the Italian
parliamentary election. With
the exception Of fist fights.
the overall methods are about
the same. While the Italian
public could view the voting
and listen to the speeches,
the real decisions were made
in smoke-filled rooms in the
Montecitori Palace where the
Chamber meets.
The Italian parliamentar-
ians may not be offered

uty.
There was no pandemo-
mum. such as in American
conventions after the final
ballot and Mr.. Segni's elec-
ton as the third President of
the Italian republic was an
nounced. No bands paraded
through the Chamber nor
were hats thrown in the air
with shouts Of Joy. The con-
fusion was reserved for the
balloting. Instead, there was
applause and a good deal Of
kissing between the lucky
candidate and his unlucky
opponent. Socialist leader
Saragat. Prime Minister
Fanfani. who was also kissed
on the cheek, had been at

President Kennedy has re-
ceived assurances from key
Senators that the Foreign
Relations Committees cut in
aid to India can and win be

ministration wishes. The

asked not to try to speed the

The dissenting Senators

Minister Jawaharlal Nehru

would like to be sure that he
hears it. loud and clear.
The nature Of that mes
sage Is no secret. Opinion in
Washington, which is not
allowed expression by the
Executive Branch. is that
Mr.. Nehru has been severely
provocative Of American
public opinion and deserves
the unpopularity to which
the cut in aid gave voice.

best lukewarm toward the
Segni election.
Photos the next day in an
illustrated magazine showed
the Prime Minister rather
downcast and sitting on his
hands when the rest of the
cabinet applauded their COL
leagues success.
There is no doubt that the
left-of-center policies of the
Fanfani government will be
somewhat slowed by the
election Of such a political
man as Mr.. Segni. The TO
year-old foreign minister has
had an uncompromiSing ca
feer through the years he has
been in politics. He is a de-
vout Christian as well as q
convinced Democrat. He be-
ieveS in the conservation of
his country's traditions and
history within the frame Of
methodical and orderly social
progress. From this political
philosophy he has refused
stubbornly to deviate.
In the heat Of the ballot
ing Mr.. Segni was told that
he should make some sort of
left-of-center declaration in
order to win the new FROM
tiersmen in his own Christian
Democrat Party. He refused
to do so. even at the risk Of
losing the election.
OF course, the powers Of
the president Of Italy are
limited. Outside Of opening
new hospitals and roads and
receiving foreign heads of
state. his influence in politics
is as limited as that of the
British sovereign. All the
same, a strong and dedicated
man like Mr.. Segni can exer-
else an influence on the
cabinet and parliament
through the support of public
opinion.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Segni, New President of Italy

The new president is on
record as an opponent of the
opening to the left" brought
about by Prime Minister
Fanfani a short time ago. 1t
is for this reason that he was
opposed bitterly up to the
last minute in an unprece-
dented nine-ballot election by
the Socialists. Communists,
and the leftwingers of his own
as well as the splinter parties.
Socialist Saragat-his main
opponent-offered to with
draw his name If Mr.: Segni
did the same, making room
for a more pliable Christian
Democrat.
But the white haired, quiet
politician who mas more
stamina than many of his
clustering colleagues in the
Chamber refused to bulge.
1t was not his personality
which worried those who
want to lead Italy to the
socialist-neutraliSt camp. 1t
was his stubbornness to live
up to the principles and to
the commitments Of his coun-
try to her allies which raised
gooSeflesh on the leftwingers
and Communists.
Your reporter asked one of
Pietro Nenni's associates why
this bitter fight over the elec-
ton Of an almost powerless
head OF state. "He may be
conStitutionally powerless,"
was the answer, but he
knows how to use his prestige
to influence the people"

Unnecessarily in the Estes Case

these tactics against the other
party Is no justification for
similar tactics now.
There Is the case, for In
stance, Of Jerry r. Holleman,
who has Just resigned as As
siStant Secretary Of Labor.
He has known Mr.. Estes for
10 years. and they were close
friends, both attending the
Church Of Christ in Austin,
Texas, where Mr.. Holleman
taught a Sunday school class.
The latter was assistant di-
rector Of the 1850 national
political campaign in his
home State. Did he feel he
knew Mr.. Estes well enough
to consider that. by accepting
a gift, he would not be COM
promised? There is only one
kind Of operation in which
the Department Of Labor
could play q part favorable
to the Texas cotton man. and
this has to do with migratory
la Dor. Representative Jim
Wright Of Texas, Democrat,
in a public statement says
Mr.. Holleman took q position
opposite to that Of Mr.. Estes
on this question.
This writer doesn't know
Mr.. Holleman, but believes
he may be receiving q pun
ishment that Is not deserved.
He resigned, of course, to
avoid political embarrassment
to the administration, but If
he really did nothing wrong,
then should not the resigna-
ton have been declined? Now
will he carry a blemish the
rest Of his life?
Mr.. Holleman has been ac-
tiveAin politics for q long time.
He was president Of the Fed
Grafton Of Labor in Texas.
Unhappily, the ways Of poll
tics develop customs which
are condoned but which have
their roots In q jaundiced
view Of what Is ethical or
unethical. Thus, Mr.. Holle-
man apparently saw nothing
wrong in the suggestion that

in honor Of Vice President

suspicion does not neces-
sarily mean guilt. Yet an en-
phasis on the improprieties
committed by an official here
and there in the Kennedy
administration in connection
with the operations of Billie
Sol Estes, q Texas business
man, has cast q cloud on the
reputation Of various persons
who may be entirely innocent
OF any crime or wrongdoing.
Guilt by association" has
long been condemned as un-
fair. The fundamental prin-
ciple written into the law Of
the land Is that a person,
even If charged with a crime,
shall be considered innocent
until actually proven guilty.
Yet, too often that same
principle Is disregarded by
the tendency Of politicians to
argue cases in the press by
Inference or innuendo.
This writer called attention
% this tendency to rely on
suspicion rather than evi-
dence when the name Of
Harry Vaughan was In the
headlines during the Truman
administration, because of his
part In collecting contribu-
tionS during the 1948 cam
paign and his acceptance
later Of the gift Of a deep

also when Sherman Adams,
personal assistant to Presi-
dent Eisenhower, was SINH
larly criticized because he
took some gifts and accepted
favors from an old friend
who was trying to obtain
governmental benefits.
Yet there has never been
any evidence that either
Harry Vaughan or Sherman
Adams really violated any
law. A defense Of both men
was made in these dispatches
at the time. on the same
basis, the public today may
be asked to withhold tudg-
ment before it assumes that
the administration itself is
generally tainted with scam

cials occasionally overstep
