'Italy has been the country In
Western Europe where the Com
munist Party posed the biggest
threat to democratic rule. The
critical election : came In 1941
when control of the new republic
bung in the balance. Then it was
that the benefits of the Marshall
Plan proved effective. The Chris
tian Democrat party won, De Gas-
peri was installed as premier; and
Italy was saved to the West.
But the Communist Party re
mained powerful in Italy. It con
trolled many of the municipal of'
fices and had sufficient represen
tation In the chamber of deputies
to obstruct business at times and
precipitate tumult. What added
greatly to its strength was the
allegiance ef the left wing of the
Socialist Party under Pietro Nen-
Bi. Elsewhere Jhe - gulf between
Socialists and Communists re
mained -wide, their antagonisms
strong. The right-wing Socialists
la Italy, under leadership of Cui-
seppe SaragaL, held true to the
democratic philosophy generally
adopted by Socialists. Prom Italy
now comes the very important
news that Nenni is merging his
Socialist section with Saragat's
Social Democrats. If this is ac
complished the danger of a Com
munist take-over in Italy is te
moved for aa indefinite period.
What stirred Nenni to break
with the Communists was the fail

Farm Editor, The Statesman
New records were being made throughout Saturday ,
as the sun shone comfortably down upon a pleased and
happy opening-day Oregon State Fair crowd that topped
the 1955 attendance by 1,585.
The first Saturday count at 9 a.m. gave Leo Spitzbart,
fair manager, the fitters, but by 11 a.m. the figure had
crawled 260 above the IBM attendance at that hour, and con-
tinued its upward trend the remainder of the day. Final count
lor the 1956 opening day was 42,635 in contrast to the 1953
figure of 41,070. ,
A new .all-time high opening day horse racing handle of
$12 J, 721 compared to the 1955 handle (the previous all-time
high first day) of $116,678. Also a new first dsy record was

the grandstand attendance of 4,152. Last year this count was
3.616. Attendance at night entertainment this year, topped
last year's by 1,350. ' The night revue combined with tbe horse
show and rodeo drew crowds totaling 5,473. ,
There were two big disappointments on opening day, how-'
ever Because of too much breete, the balloon did not make
its scheduled ascension and the big roller coaster did not get
into action. Fair management expressed hopes that both will .
work on schedule Sunday, , - t '
The great and the smsli in the political world helped
swell (he attendance Saturday and with their ready handclasps
also helped give s wsrm homecoming feeling to many fair
goers jvho have little other opportunity to shake' hands with
U.S senators and governors. Rumors Saturday were that this
pleasure would extend through the week. .
Race Track Post Time Settled
The fair board, headed by Dr. E. B. Stewart, Roseburg, in' .
Salem for the entire week, held its annual opening day meet
ing, arranging for audiences for the remainder of the eight-day
fair run. One item settled by the board Saturday was that
in the 1956 races on Lone Osk track, post time would be post
time, and not 15 minutes later. Dr. Stewart said.' Cecil Ed
wards, race steward, said that there will be 25 minutes between ,
the posting of official results and the start of the next race.
Windows closed Saturday, as per instruction, at post time.
' Judging In a number of divisions got underway, with
Timberland Gardens; Lebanon, taking sweepstakes in gladioli,
ant Swan Island Gardens, Portland, sweeping to top places in
Dahlias. TuAlatin Garden Club came in first In the 39 garden
clubs exhibiting with Little Gaidcn Club of Salem Heights, see-'
onri and Hilltop Garden Club of Colton, third, .
. The Garden Mart which has much to offer garden shoppers ',
wjs doing a brisk business all day Ion, and Mart shopkeepers
promised' a good supply throughout the week.. ,
The first fnmily to enter the gate alter the official opening ...
was the Lule Whitsett famiW of Redmond, who included the
father and mother, and son, Doug, who is a 4 K club member
and daughter, Nera.
Judging of Entries Underway
Judging began early, and one ot the first announcements
made was the winner of the national crocheting contest. This
wss Mrs. Frank C. Hubka, Portland, who was also last year's
winr'er. Mrv. Hubka submitted an original luncheon cloth.
Youthful exhibitors got off to a full day in a full week of
Judging.' Four-K Club exhibitors .showed eonsidcrsble calm-,
nest. In their showmanship, however, as they had been working ..
at county fairs previously. ' -
"It takes time snd patience to educate a pig," was. the sage ;
comment of 14-year-old Donleo Schellenberg, Dallas, . after
judges acclaimed him the grand champion 4-H swine showman.
This- is one of the big contests in the 4-H livestock exhibits.
The Dallas youngster said he had been exerting his influ
