Fanfanis Party Retains Strength ROME (Reuters) -- Premier Amintore Fanfan's big Chris- tian Democrat party kept its po- sition as Italy's strongest party 'In first parliamentary election returns announced today, hut/ the Communists made bigger gains than expected. The Christian Democrats dropped from their 1958 total of 41.2 per cent of 37.2 per cent of the vote in the final returns for the Senate elections. The Communists, Italy's second largest party, increased their share from 21.8 to 25.5 per cent. Unofficial partial returns showed the Christian Democrats in the lead for the Chamber of Deputies with 80 seats com- pared with 54 for the Commu- nists. Final results in the race for the seats in the Chamber of Deputies were not expected un- til tonight. In the Senate race the Chris- tian Democrats polled 10,205,- 902 votes and the Communists 6,990,441. The small right-wing Liberal party had 2,057,739 votes --taising its percentage from 3.9 in 1958 to 7.5 per cent. More than 31,000,000 persons voted. Communist Leader Palmiro Togliatti told his party newspa- per "our party has gained a great victory, beyond our. fore- casts and hopes." e said Communist gains re- futed "ridiculous lies" about a is in the party and its al- leged deterioration." "The Christian Democrats have been clearly defeated," Togliatti said. PARTNERS ALSO GAIN 'Gains were also made by Fanfani's coalition partners, the Sociai Democrats led by Giu. seppe Saragat, who had 6.3 per cent of the votes compared with only 4.4 per cent in 1958. Other party positions as re- flected in the partial Senate re- turns were: The Nenni Socialists, with 14.0 per cent of votes, marginally declined from 14.1 per cent. The Monarchists sank from 5.2 per cent to 1.6 per cent. The Neo - Fascists gained slightly, from 4.3 to 5.2 per cent. REDS SHOW GAIN The Christian Democrat losses were widely predicted. Less generally expected was the Communist gain, which was steady throughout the country and apparently often at the ex- pense of the Nenni Socialists. -| Two Men Hurt whole range of Laotian prob- 'These could include Pathet Lao demands for increased rep- Penang in Laos' shaky coal- government, which con- =" of neutralists, Pathet Lao and right-wing parties.

Power Balance Upset Danger Seen In India KARACHI, Pakistan (Reut- ers) ---President Mohammed Ayub Khan of Pakistan today waned the United States and Britain against upsetting the balance of power on the Indian sub-continent. He issued the warning at the opening here of @ two-day session of the Central Treaty Organization. Ayub received a sharp reply from U.S. State Secretary Dean Rusk, who said alliances such as Cento were the best 'instru- |ments for preventing war and as such were a factor in Amer- ican global strategy. They made possible U.S. in- terest and aid to member countries. Rusk said. Ayub said Pakistan was ques- tioning the value of its Centolj alliance in view of Western aid to India with whiich it is locked in a dispute over Kashmir. In Rusk said that Cento had "something to do" with American aid and investment in regional countries of the Alli- ance, Ayub said in his message opening the Cento session the big powers had a special re- sponsibility "not to aggravate' difficulties in the region of the jalliance--which consists of Pak- istan, Iran and Turkey, with |Britain as a full member. and |the U.S, as an "active" ob- server.
