This was in honor of the new president of Italy, Antonio Segni. Hundreds of thousands cheered as he rode along in an open car to the Quirinal palace to take his oath of of fice. Escorting the president were the tall, glittering ar moured cuirassiers, riding black horses. (At one time these were the special guard of the kings of Italy). From the palace he rode to the Pi azza of Venetia-where Musso lini stood on the balcony at one time to harangue his people. Antonio Segni is 71 years old, a scholar and, they say, more interested in education, and agricultural advancement than in politics. He is a Chris tian Democrat. His election was a close one. In order to reach the majority of votes re quired, it was necessary to have II ballots. Elections here are by the parliament rather than by popular vote. As there are thirty political par ties in Italy, it presented prob lems. In the final voting the Fascists and the Monarchists turned for him. The Social ists and the Communists sol idly voted against him. During thte last balloting (which was carried on tele vision) insults were hurled, angry exchanges, and even a fist fight took place. Americans and other west ern states are happy about the election. Senor Segni immedi ately pledged allegiance to the North Atlantic treaty, and the European common market. He said, that throughout many years Italy had fought for freedom and that the North Atlantic treaty is a pledge to guarantee the liberty of all peoples. He said too that the Western nations can aid the new nations of the world who are aspiring towards liberty. The Communists and Social ists sat stony-faced through out the speech. It was just 20 years since R jme-by referendum-was de- cared a republic, and the king dethroned. Senor Segni is the third president. -4 Women Attend County Festival In Grants Pass A group of Jackson coun ty extension unit members were in Grants Pass last Wed nesday to attend the annual homemakers' festival of Jose phine county units.
