President Asks
Iruji||o Sugar
Allotment Cut
Foreign Ministers
Condemnation of
Dominicons Noted
By the Associated Press


President Eisenhower today
asked Congress for legislation
giving him power to take away
from the Dominican Republic
an allotment of $4,000 tons of
sugar for the United States
market.
The Presidents action fol-
lowed condemnation of the Do
minican regime of strong man
Rafael l.. Trujillo by the for
eign ministers of the American
republics meeting at San Jose,
Costa Rica.
When Congress in July au-
thorized Mr.. Eisenhower to re-
duce Cuba's sugar allotment by
10000 tons it provided that
322, 900 tons of this reduction
go to the Dominican Republic.
Ministers Action Cited
Citing the action of the for
eign ministers in condemning
Dominican acts of aggression
against Venezuela and calling
for a break in diplomatic rela-
tionS with the Dominican Re
public, Mr.. Eisenhower said:
In view of the foregoing
considerations. the Government
should have discretion to pur-
chase elsewhere the quantity
apportioned to the Dominican
Republic pursuant to the July
amendment to the Sugar Act.
Il therefore request legisla-
ton providing that amounts
which would be purchased in
the Dominican Republic pur-
suant to the July amendment
need not be purchased there
but may be purchased from
any foreign countries without
regard to ALLEGATION.
Mr.. Eisenhower noted that
actual imports of sugar from
the Dominican Republic in 1859
amounted to only $4,000 tons.
He said the legislation giving
the Dominican Republic a
bonus of $4,000 tons over its
regular ALLEGATION would "seri-
ously embarrass the United
States in the conduct of our
foreign relations throughout
the hemisphere"
Quota Is 10000 Tons
The 322, ,000-ton ALLEGATION to
the Dominican Republic is in
addition to its regular 1860
quota. 10000 tons.
White House Press Secretary
James C. Haggerty said he did
not know how much of the
10000 tons had been con-
tracted for.
None of the 1922, ,000-ton allo-
cation has been bought.
Pressed to say whether sugar
still might come from the
Dominican Republic under the
earlier 130,000-ton allotment,
Mr.. Hagerty commented
Il wouldn't think there would
be much Dominican sugar in the
United States
In conjunction with his allot-
ment proposal, Mr.. Eisenhower
reminded Congress that the
present Sugar Act expires
March 81. only three months
after the reconvening Of Con-
gress in January, and called for
its extension.
Noting that it often takes as
much as one or two months
after purchases from distant
areas for sugar to reach United
States refineries, Mr.. Eisen-
hover said an extension of the
Sugar Act beyond its present
termination date "is necessary
at this session in order to pro-
tect consumers of the United
States against the possibility of
unreasonable prices for sugar
next February and March"

FTC Chairman Earl w. Kint-
ner revealed that the agency
has already begun inveStiga-
tions of many District firms.
He declined, however. to name
any of the companies.
We intend to cover every
business area where we detect
racketeering," he declared.
We've given notice to the busi-
nessmen of the District we in
tend to make Washington a

practices are concerned"

number of Investigations were

quiries into automobile f1nanc-
ing and home improvement

were the subject of series of
articles by The Stars Pulitzer
Prize-winning reporter, Miss
Miriam Gutenberg.
The chairman called the two
series "a signal public contri-
button to the public by a news
paper and a reporter"
He also disclosed that the
breakdown would be a contin-

cation. AS in the past. we will
continue to cooperate with the
Federal Trade Commission.
We recognize there are some
bad spots, but we think gen.
orally our picture in Washing
ton is not bad"
Model for Nation
Mr.. Kintner said the Wash
ington campaign was the re-
suit of conferences he has had
with business leaders through
out the country.
They told me: If you clean
up your own doorstep, it will
have a salutary effect on the
whole country and we'd be in
clined to improve our own prac-
tices,'" Mr.. Kintner said.
Thus, the Washington cam
paign will be a model for the
entire Nation, the chairman
declared. He observed that
there is no jurisdictional
problem here" -
Mr.. Kintner made it clear he
considers most businessmen
honest. They, like the public,
he said, need to be protected
from the racketeers.
Cooperation Cited
washington businessmen
are no different from business
men around the country" the
chairman said. They want a
vigorous program in the hands
of this agency"
He said the FTC has enjoyed
"the enthusiastic cooperation
Of the Washington Better Bus
iness Bureau, the Advertising
Club and the Connecticut Ave-
nue. Businessmen's Associa-
ton" in its past work.
The official added that re-
suits of the Investigations may
not be made public for some
time. But in general. he said.
the FTC will act against errant
companies in this way: Make
an investigation of suspected
irregularities. issue a complaint
if the evidence is sufficient and
file a ceaSe-and-desist order If
the record warrants such &C
tion.

he has a vested interest. Better
results are sometimes achieved
when the plea for funds GENES

he said.
But I have not heard that

The superintendent specifi-
cally asked that $946,0O0 for
employing more teachers at the

Fund Restoration
Unless we do something about

in danger of producing "a crop
Of illiterate and angry young

DR.. Hansen also called for
restoration of $791, 900 in capi-
tai outlay funds which the

ent declared, "but it was cut"
He indicated that unless the

will never get it.
