ROME, (UP) - Premier Mario Scelba today turned in the resignation of the coalition government with which for 13 months he has battled Italian Communism and backed the West.
Even as Scelba was closeted with President Giovanni Gronchi in the Quirinale Palace, a communique from this morning's heated cabinet session said:
"The council of ministers agreed unanimously on the presentation to the president of the resignations of the entire cabinet."
"I have handed it in." he told reporters. "I have done my duty. I leave with perfect serenity."
He expressed his hope that "the crisis may now be soon resolved."
As usual, there was no immediate word whether Gronchi would accept the resignation.
Scelba's government came to a crisis last night when his own big Christian Democrat party walked out on his coalition and one of his rebelling minor party allies refused to return to the fold.
