Italians To Form New Government

ROME. (AP)—Alcide de Gasperi, who resigned as Italy's Premier 11 days ago, announced Saturday that he had been asked to form a new government, his fourth since the end of the war.

Leaving provisional President Enrico de Nicolai's residence after an hour-long conference, the Christian Democratic party's leader told newsmen he would "reserve decision according to customary procedure."

That meant he would confer with leaders of other parties and of his own about the prospects of organizing a cabinet before giving a definite answer as to whether he would accept the post again.

"My program is well known to all," de Gasperi declared. "It consists in an appeal to everyone to collaborate in solving our economic problems for the salvation of our country."

He resigned because of criticism of his economic policies.
