Communist .China - Paracea Islands: Peiping's recent
"serious warnings"--numbers OT ~ and 52--protesting
"intrusions" of US naval aixcraft over the Paracel Islands
are the first regarding the South China Sea archipela.go~
which the Communists assert is part of Kwangtung Prov-
ince. The Chinese Communists apparently intend the warn-
ings to add weight to their claim to the islands--also claimed
by Saigon and Taipei--and. probably calculate that if the US
should suspend its flights this would imply a degree of recog-
nition of Peiping's claim. The warnings contain no threat that 25X1

India: The national leaders of the Indian Communist
party maintain that the Communist-dominated government
of .Kerala will not resign under opposition pressure and that
there is no need for- new elections. The high command of
Nehru.'s Congress party is still undecided on what c?urse of
action its. state organization should adopt, Kerala State Con-
gress leaders are determined to carry on their agitation in
an effort to bring about the fall of the Communist government--
apparently even to the point of disregarding the advice of the
national leadership--and are continuing their opposition actin-

Greece? Former Cypriot terrorist leader General George
Grivas is re orted to be planning to enter Greek politics with
the hope of becoming premier. The 60-year-old Grivas is anti-

Former Cypriot Terrorist Leader May Challenge Greek Premier
I ieutenant General George Grivas, the only political person-
ality in Greece with sufficient prestige to rival Premier Konstantin
Karamanlis, may enter Greek olitics this fall,
~n March, when he returned to Athens after successfully
leading the Cypriot terrorist organization, Grivas disclaimed
any intention of playing a political role either in Greece or Cyprus.
Now, however, by his sharp public criticism of the moderate Cyprus
policies being followed by Athens, Grivas has come into direct op-
position to the Karamanlis government. Since he is an austere,
patriotic individual who holds a very great. appeal.. for Greek
voters, many rightist and center Greek politicians would like to
use him as a rallying point for a new political movement to fill the
gap left by the decline of the non-Communist opposition to Karamanlis.

Conservatives Gain in Iceland. General Elections
The pro-NATO Conservatives and the rural Progressive
Party emerged as victors, in Iceland 28 June general elec-
tions. According to fairly complete returns, the Conserva-
tives gained one seat, and their Social Democratic partners
lost two in the 52-seat parliament. The Social Democratic
seats lost reportedly include that of Prime Minister Jonssony
but he is expected to remain in parliament in one of the sup-
plementary .seats awarded to his. party.
The Communists, who pushed hard on the popular issue
of the fishing limits dispute with Britain and the dormant is-
sue of US forces in Iceland, suffered a sharp setback, losing
some 25 percent of their popular support and one parliamentary
seat.
introduce a long-range economic s,tah~lization program.
The Conservatives and, the .~iocial Democrats probably will
attempt to form a temporary government for the purpose of ob-
taining the necessary second passage of the electoral reform
bill which provides for redetermining the constituencies. T':~.ey
must rely on Communist parliamentary support, however, i~o
assure its final passage. Under the existing law rural interests
are heavily overrepresented and. all parties9 except the Progres-
sives, support the proposed revision which must be passed by
two succeeding parliaments, .Elections based on the new system
probably will then be held in September or October,
The Conservatives are certain to gain further parliamentary
strength in these elections and with the support of the Social
Democrats, who are also likely to benefit, the two parties will
be in a position to form a viable coalition government. Barring
serious incidents with Britain in the fishing dispute, this gov-
ernment would work to strengthen Iceland's ties with NATO and
