Quarrel with Overtones. These odd encounters were the opening skirmishes in a conflict with deadly serious overtones. Iceland is a NATO member, and the U.S. airbase at Keflavik is a keystone in NATO defense. Yet in their anger at Britain, Icelanders, spurred on by Minister of Fisheries Ludvik Josepsson, a Communist, were muttering about withdrawing from NATO and closing down the U.S. airfield...
...British, their dander up, were convinced that hostile anglers are fishing in Iceland's troubled waters. Iceland's Fisheries and Trade Minister Ludvik Joseps-son is a Communist, and forced the twelve-mile limit through the country's coalition Cabinet against the objection of more NATO-minded ministers. The Soviet ambassador, who has signed agreements with Comrade Josepsson to buy about a third of Iceland's catch, was quick to proclaim Russian support of the new twelve-mile decree. The British Admiralty accordingly let it be known that four new frigates might shortly be added...

The wife of accused former Deputy Foreign Minister Arthur London wrote the court that she at first believed her husband innocent...
From Czechoslovakia last week came a reminder that marriage to the boss's daughter can benefit a rising young Communist as well as a rising young capitalist. Out of the post of Czech Minister of Defense went General Ludvik Svoboda, career soldier. Into the general's former office moved 40-year-old Dr. Alexei Cepicka, son-in-law of President Klement Gottwald. Little known before 1947, Cepicka had married Gottwald's daughter after the Communists took over the government in 1948. As Minister of Justice, the President's son-in-law had masterminded a relentless, successful...
