POST-ELECTION 'i {Continued From Page One) ; parties lost ground in the elections —although De Gasperi’s Christian Democrats remained the nation’s strongest single party—while the Communists and Fascists gained. The premier is bitterly angry at the Monarchists for the “deviation” which he says effectively increased extremist strength, and ha is not likely to admit them formally to the government coalition. He probably will be willing, however, to accept their help on key The only major plank in the platform that established the Monarchists as Italy’s fourth strongest party was their demand for the return of exiled King Umberto to the throne. Party Leader Achille Lauro indicated today that his followers will support De Casperi in most other matters. If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad.
