On a purely local basis, the election may serve to break a stalemate caused after Inat November's voting, when opposing factions in the city council could not agree on a mayor. The government had to stop in finally and appoint career profect to run the city until a now election. Since the capital's affairs generally have strong national repercussions, however, the out- come might ensily reach all the way to the Council of. Ministers.

A clear-cut Leftist victory conceivably could influence de Gasperi's Christian Democrats to abandon their attempt to rule the country without the Communists, whom they excluded from the Government last May, and to return to a coalition regime.

Victory for the Christian Democrats, on the other hand, might persuade de Gasperi that his policy was bearing fruit and, consequently, to stick it out until the next national elections, ten- tatively set for the Spring.

This year, the voters will have a pick of 10 slates, with the People's Bloc, the Christian Democrats and the Qualun- quists still the major tickets.

The Left has been weaken- ed somewhat by a schism in the Socialist Party, which resulted in the formation of a moderate. Socialist group led by Giuseppe Sagarat, former Constituent Assembly president. This group is running alone.
