virtual wage freeze and other austerity measures as a way out
of Italy's troubles.
Rumor's cabinet, based on the same coalition of Christian
Democrats, Social Democrats and SocialiSts that has run Italy:
since 1962, has been laboring under its own inefficiency,
divisions and scandals.
Mario Tanassi, the Social Democratic party president and
finance minister, added the last straw Tuesday by accusing
the Socialists of double-dealing and trying to bring the
Communists into the government.
The Vatican joined the United States in expressing concern
that the situation in Italy could get out of hand.
"There is no time to !use in government crises or in elections
ahead of schedule," the Vatican magazine L'Osservatore
della Domenica said.
It said reports of right-wing plots for a coup d'etat added to
the seriousness of the situation, marked 'by a 21 per cent
yearly inflation rate and growing unemployment.
Diplomatic sources reported Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger voiced similar fears during Leone's Washington
visit last week as guest of President Ford.
Coalition effort
fails in Turkey
ANKARA (UPI) Premier-designate Suleyman Demirel
yesterday failed to form a center-right coalition government.
The Democratic party, a prospective government partner,
refused its support, accusing _ Demirel of having a
"premiership complex."
Democratic party chairman Ferruh Bozbeyli said he saw no
objections to a center-right coalition but could not accept
Demirel as premier.
"One must accept the reality that it is not possible to agree
with Demirel on a jar of pickles, let alone a coalition," said
-5 - .30
Necdet Evliyagil, a Democratic party leader. "A coalition
would only become possible if Demirel shed his premiership
complexr•
"We Can say yes to a coalition of the Justice party,
Democratic party and National Salvation party only under the
leadership of an independent premier," Bozbeyli said. •
Demirel, leader of the conservative Justice party, won
support Wednesday from the far right, Moslem-oriented
National Salvation party, but their combined votes do not
have a Majority in the national assembly.
The twii parties need help from the Democratic party, a
Justice party splinter group.
Politicians said Demirel, a former premier who was toppled
by the military in a 1971 bloodless coup, was trying to exploit
his prestige as premier -designate to retain control of his own
party, which starts its convention Oct. 21.
