Rightist Leads Italy Race for Presidency
Rome Vice Premier Luigi Einaudi led as the front runner for the presidency of the new Italian republic. On the third ballot of the joint Senate and Chamber of Deputies, he gained a majority of the 900 votes, supported by the Christian Democratic Party after Foreign Minister Carlo Sforza withdrew. The Communist led Popular Front had formed with less than the needed margin. The constitution allows a fourth ballot if the first three fail. Christian Democrats shifted their support to Einaudi, who had started with scattered votes. The left attacked him for a perceived stance on unemployment relief.
