THE FACT that the sugar
industry 10 years ago spurned
his ideas for telling the world
about their product did not
sour him. He had hoped at
least he could get free sugar
to pass out.
"But not one pound" he
says, sadly. He finances his
trip with dollars from the
sale of his cab and other cars,
and from rents on properties
in Cuba.
The economy of Cuba, he
points out, is tied up with
sugar.
IF we don't sell sugar." he
says, there will be no pros
perity in Cuba.
DO you know, ne adds, in
a confidential tone, that SIS
million Americans don't use
sugar? Propaganda by the
antisugar propagandiStS."
And even in the Mato
Crosse, there are those jungle
drums, telling stories to the
natives,

MIR. ACOSTA is pushing
sugar in high and low places.
He has sent President Eisen-
hover, by mail, a package
containing a fifth of Cuban
rum, a box of fine Cuban
cigars, a Cuban flag, and five
pounds of Cuban sugar.
President Ike is a very
sweet President" he said in
the letter that went with the
package.
Mr.. AcoSta carries pockets
full of small brown envelopes
containing sugar samples, and
from his belt dangle two large
sugar dispensers. On the
street, in stores, and at special
events-wherever he gets the
chance-he hands out sweet
samples.
The envelopes are printed
with his picture, his name
and his titles" Sugar AM
bassador of Cuba, "~"Cuban
Sugar Cane Advertiser" and
English Speaking Driver"
He says he has spent some
$4,000 of his own money in
the past dozen years, buying
sugar to pass around. He has
had a busy schedule. He has
visited 10000 special events,
and hopes, before his tour is
over, to visit $4,000 more.
His wife, not too sympa-
thetic about his trips, goes
along anyway, helping pass
out the sugar. Next year, he
may put the whole family to
work, including his twin
daughter and son, Rosario
and Luis, jr. Luis, jr,, already
is after him to be allowed to
help with the samples.

The
Rambler
Sugar Promoter
All Stirred Up
By JACK JONAS


Native drums of the Mato
Crosse may call Luis Rod
riguez AcoSta to Brazil.
THE drums tell the ma
tives," Mr.. Acosta says, "that
sugar makes their teeth fall
out.
A man of Mr.. AcoSta'S avo-
cation and dedication cannot
permit such things to happen,
even in the Mato Crosse,
1000 miles from Rio de
Janeiro.
He is something of a drum
beater himself, in the figura-
tive sense. He is the Self-Styled
Sugar Ambassador of Cuba"
and has been travelling Europe
and the Western Hemisphere,
promoting sugar.
He dropped by the office
the other day, looking more
like a Washington cab driver
than a sugar ambassador.
That may be because he was a
cab driver in Havana before
the missionary spirit struck
and he took up the ambas-
sador business.
But when he speaks, he is
every bit as understandable
as a Washington cab driver.
"The antisugar propagan-
dists," he said, with an in
dignant, fiery gaze, and a
flourish of his arms for en-
phasis, have reached even
into the Mato Crosse. They
warn the natives against
sugar"
He tapped the desktop
rapidly with the fingers of
both hands, initiating a jungle
drum spreading vile propa-
ganda.
