Communist Election Gains in Italy

are we'll aware of the basic
economic factors that are
affecting politics. But there
is no agreement among the
leaders Of the various par
ties as to how to handle the
dilemma. The effort of Pre-
mier FAM in recent
months to move toward the
"left' didn't seem to hold in
line the voters who wanted
to go even further toward the
left, and hence embraced the
Communist Party. Mean
while, the Liberal" Party,
composed largely of conserv-
atives, gained a million votes.
So the middle of the road"
policies cost the Premier
votes from both radical and
non-radical supporters.
1t is not clear to the out
side world how much influ-
ence Moscow has welded in
recent months inside the Ital-
ian Communist Party. Not a
single Russian appears OPEN
ly. The same thing is true
in other countries where the
Communist Party is led by
native sons with a socialis-
tic or left-wing proclivity.
Communist political parties
in these countries are usual
ly composed of apparently
loyal citizens who, while they
may at times express a SYM
pathy with Moscow's aims in
ternationally, endeavor to
keep out of international af-
fairs and focus instead on
domestic factors Of discon-
tent.
Italy's election is a signifi-
cant development. 1t is a
warning to all Latin coun-
tries that the influence of the
Catholic Church will con-
tinue to be exerted effective
ly in personal religion, but it
will not be able by itself to
block the rising tides of dis
content due to domestic poll
tics and local economic fac
tors.

In a stern attack on the

Steel Firms Await Woqe Talks

after a worker has been on
the payroll for Is years.
The demands may go fur
ther than these sabbaticals,
even though average hourly
earnings in the steel industry
are now $4.l0 against $2.55
for all manufacturing indus
tries. The union settled for a
l0-cent package in 1862,
largely as the result Of in
tense pressures by Arthur
Goldberg. A total package Of
seven cents an hour, the aver
age for other industrial set
Elements this year, would be
an increase of 1.6 per cent.
After approving steel's Sc
lective price increases and
proposing a three per cent in
crease for Federal workers,
Mr.. Kennedy would find 1t
difficult to object to a mod
crate package on the grounds
of national interest. II the
demands are immoderate, on
the other hand, the President
would be restrained by his
own position from interven-
ing in behalf of the union in
a prolonged deadlock, as
Richard Nixon did in effect
in 1860 and Harry Truman
did in fact on several occa-
sions during his tenure.
After the contract is re-
opened, its terms provide that
80 days must pass before a
vote to strike and the strike
could be delayed another 30
days by a Taft-Hartley in
junction. Some union offic-
ials believe the companies
might welcome a strike in the
late summer to dissolve the
accumulated inventories and
sustain the new price levels.
The union, still bruised by
the 1l6-day ordeal of 1859
so, has no such appetite. But
matters have a tendency to
drift in disputes after a dead
line is set and the clock starts
ticking. No expert in the field
can deny the possibility Of a
strike in the emerging cir
cumstances.

votes (33 per cent of the to-
tall against his reelection in
1861. No strong challenger is
now on the scene but Mr.. Nc
Donald, at 81, cannot take
chances.
His own specialists oppose
Mr.. Kennedy's thesis that re-
straint will produce the an
swer to high unemployment in
the industry. Otto Brubaker,
director of research for the
Steelworkers, has publicly
maintained that even a large
increase in steel sales will not
restore previous employment
levels and that only Short
ening Of the work week will
do the job. The union is real
istic enough, however, to rec
ognize that this is not the
time to push for a 32-hour
week.
But the union officials are
anxious to ask now for an
extension of present vacation
allowances in order to create
more openings. A steelwork-
er gets three weeks Of paid
vacation after 10 years of en-
Payment and four weeks
after 25 years. The union
wants the industry to adopt

tice Of allowing 13-week paid
sabbaticals every five years

Rising Discomfort With the Economy

Why did the Communist
