ROME. - The. new cabinet
formed by Premier Giovanni
Leone is described by its OPP
ponents as the Kennedy
cabinet" For had 1t not been
for President Kennedy's visit,
the chances Of Italy now
having q government would
have been slight.
The new government may
not be to the liking Of Mr..
Kennedy since, unlike the
Fanfani administration, 1t
does not carry the image Of
the New Frontier. The
Premier and his % cabinet
associates are all hard-core
Christian Democrats with
leanings neither to the left
or to the right.
Gossip in Roman political
circles is that for this reason
Mr.. Kennedy has decided to
see Pietro Nenni, the lame
duck head Of the Marxist
Socialist Party, during his
visit. The fact that WASH
ington has not mentioned
whether the President will
see other heads Of the oppo-
sition, such as the veteran
head Of the conservative Lib
eral Party, Mr.. Malagodi, has
caused a good deal Of COM
ment, and questions are be-
ing asked If the President
wants to influence another
left Of center administration
here.
Italian political leaders
hope President Kennedy will
be sufficiently briefed to real
lie that despite the caretaker
character Of the Leone gov
eminent there is fair chance
that it may remain in office
considerably longer than Is
generally expected.
The reason is that the So
cialist Party Is badly split.

with the Socialist Democratic
Party which is not Marxist.)

where a person will 60 a block

hop in a car and apparently

The official response to the

is to post huge signs across the

First Step Is Taken
In Organization OF
County Planning Board

Groundwork for a County
Planning Board was laid at a
meeting in Sidney Tuesday
night.
About 25 persons represent
ing various segments of the
county were on hand for this
initial meeting.
1t was pointed out at the
meeting that similar programs
are now being conducted by at
least 20 counties in the state.
A planning body of this type
provides the opportunity for
exchange of ideas and the me-
chanism for examining care
fully what the resources of the
area and how they can best be
developed.
Some of the ideas that were
tossed out at the meeting FOR
a starter were: improved roads,
wildlife refuge, recreation de-
velopment, irrigation develop
mlent, improve rural schools,
high school buses and Junior
College development.
After a discussion on what
procedures should be followed
in selecting a central committee
it was suggested that an or
