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. In buying S-train fare, ask for a Nbadebilletn which will then include a changingcabin at the beach which other wise costs kr. 0.50. Remember to keep the Ubadebilletn for the return trip to Copenhagen. Copenhagen is justifiably proud of the Royal Theater and many concerts that are available during the winter season.

LOCAL .C Uf5sT05f53 -SND .TllHDITlQIjIS There are no Danish customs, violations of which might create difficulties or ill will. The following items are mentioned purely as being of interest: USRAALU - The famous Danish ani Scandinavian custom of HSkaalingH has less rigid rules in Denmark than elsewhere. When sitting down at a table, however, it is courteous practice to first Uskaalu the lady immediately to your right. In general the hostess may Hskaaln any member of a group, but may not be toasted in return except when fewer than six guests are present. Junior officers do not Nskaaln their seniors but may return a Uskaaln after first bein? toasted by a senior. When invited to a Danish home for the first time, it is customary to send or bring flowers for the hostess. The smoking of cigars by women is quite a common practice in Denmark, particularly amona the older generation. Try to avoid staring at any cigar-smoking women you may see. Hat-tipping is quite a general practice for gentlemen in Denmark. Male acquaintances meetina on the street will customarily doff their hats to each other. General standards of Danish social practice and courtesy are identical with those the civilized world over. Followf ing normal American rules of social behavior and courtesy will result in general acceptance as a gentleman in Denmark.
