ggaaa GENERAL pp USEFUL -lN,FOPifLif1 ION The local communist newspaper is Land og Folk CNation and Peoplel. Previous attempts at demonstrations by local commies during visits of NATO ships have been effectively throttled by the efficient Danish police. Every lozal pre- caution will be taken to ensure like procedures on the occasion of other visits. All hands should be instructed to ignore completely any would-be hecklers in the event of an attempted demonstration at dockside or elsewhere. nlncidents of any nature should be reported promptly to the Naval Attache. The Danes are quite touchy about sovereignty over Greenland. A new treaty providing for U.S. use of bases there has just been concluded. It is suggested that the subject of Greenland be avoided in conversation with Danish Nationals when possible. If such conversation is forced, Americans should emphasize the recognition by the United States of Denmark's prerogatives in the Island.
