New Reform Party Unites Italian Socialists for 1973 Aim
Italian socialists reunite to form a reform party led by Pietro Nenni, breaking with the Communists since 1947. The group backs NATO defense, the European Common Market, and social reforms while seeking power with Moro's Christian Democrats. Nenni remains vice premier. Saragat is president. In parliament the new party would have 96 deputies and 35 senators, behind the Communists and Christian Democrats. A San Antonio incident reports a rookie officer responding to a supposed gunman who turned out to be a meter-collection guard.
