Newspaper Page TextItaly's Christian Party Summons Urgent Meeting Rome (U.R) Italy's pro-Western Christian Democratic party today called an urgent meeting of its leadership Friday to decide what to do about the deadlocked city councils in key Italian cities. Rose, Genoa, Florence and Venice headed the list of major cities where the Democratic cen ter parties scored gains but fail ed to win a majority big enough to govern. The local elections were held throughout Italy Sun day and Monday. In these cities and several smaller ones the only hope ap peared to be to accept support from either the extreme left, the Communists or fellow-travelling left-wins. (Fascist and Mon archist parties). Christian Democrat Premier Antonio Seeni said before the elections the center parties would accept no such support from the extremes. The silver-haired premier said he feared that such support would weaken the po sition of his own middle-of-the road government. In Rome and in many other city councils, the extreme right wing ron-Fascists (MSI) held the balance of power between the evenly-matched center parties and the leftists. Failing to find some sort of agreement in the deadlocked councils, the local prefect would have to appoint a commissioner to do the mayor's job. In such cases new elections within a few months would be inevitable. The loss of a solid majority In certain key cities resulted from a change in the electoral law. Formerly the leading party automatically received two- thirds of the seats on a county council; now seats are distrib uted on a percentage basis. It was the one big fly in the ointment in what government leaders considered an impressive political victory for the center parties in the first test of the Kremlin's new "policy of smiles." Seaton Urged To Aid Western Mining Washington U.R) Roy A. Hardy, president of the Nevada Mining association, urged Secre tary of Interior-designate Fred A.

Hardy, of Reno, Nev., said he dropped by to congratulate Sea ton on his new appointment. Russell, he said, conferred with Sherman Adams, President Eis enhower's assistant. Asked if he planned to dis cuss the government's tungsten purchasing program with Sea ton, Hardy replied that he want ed to offer his congratulations and to "talk about mining in general." He said he wanted to stress to Seaton the importance of "keep ing a good healthy mining in dustry in the West."
