Despite the anger of its rank & file, N.E.A. officials also did their best to smooth things over. Though the grumbling continued in private, the N.E.A. unanimously adopted a resolution "deploring" the Legion's article, recalling the cordial cooperation of the two organizations, and asking for space to defend itself in the Legion magazine...

...wave of cold anger swept across doggedly neutral Sweden, which stayed out of World Wars I and II and now refuses to join Norway and Denmark in NATO. The anger was aggravated by an event in Stockholm: the opening of a treason trial against seven Swedes who are accused of selling out the secrets of Sweden's entire northern defense system to Soviet espionage agents. On the streets and in the coffeehouses, Swedes muttered their indignation. Prime Minister Tage Erlander summoned Soviet Ambassador Konstantin Rodionov. As he left his own embassy, a crowd of Swedes jeered at the ambassador...
