He said the renewed bombing of

Troubles,~
ROME (A)-President Giuseppe
Saragat stepped into Italy's gov-
ernment crisis yesterday in a last--
ditch effort to prevent total fail-
ure of attempts to form a new
cabinet. Failure could bring on
general elections.
For the second time since Pre-
mier Aldo Moro resigned Jan. 21,
Saragat started a round of con-
sultations with parliamentary
leaders. He acted after Moro re-
ported an impasse.
Collapse
Moro's negotiation in an at-
tempt to form a cabinet with
leaders of the four parties of his
center-left coalition have col-
lapsed.
This appeared to leave Saragat
with three choices-to ask Moro
to resume his efforts, to. send
Moro and his caretaker govern-
ment back to Parliament to seek
a vote of confidence or to dissolve
Parliament and call elections.
There was yet a fourth choice
-call on someone other than
Moro to try to form a government
-but this seemed unlikely. The
Christian. Democrats, Socialists,
Democratic Socialists and Repub-
licans in Moro's coalition support
a continuation of a center-left
government, but only with Moro
at its head. These parties gave
their support with strings at-
tached, however, and Moro has
tripped over them.
Rightist Support
The right wing in Moro's own.
A Christian Democrat party agreed
to support him again providing
its faction leader, former Premier
Mario Scelba, got a cabinet seat.
But the Socialists told Moro that
rather than accept Scelba they
would desert Moro. They' said

MADRID - Several hundred
Spanish demonstrators chanted
"Yankees no" and tried to move
on the United States Embassy
yesterday. Lines of police held
them back.
Their appearance, an aftermath
of the Jan. 17 crash of a U.S.
bomber carrying nuclear weapons
on Spain's southeast coast, result-

ranging from the underground
