Italian election yields anti communist sweep in Rome
Returns from Italy's crucial elections show the anti communist front winning large margins in the senate and deputies.

The Communist Front trails with roughly 31 percent, while Giuseppe Saragat calls the result a birth of democracy in Europe and Western alignment for Italy.
