the Dominican Republic.
Shortly after the White
House announcement, the Ag-
riculture Department fixed 1861
sugar requirements at 10 mil
lion tons and set quotas for the
first quarter Of 1861 which
omitted Cuba.
In addition to Mr.. Castro's
hostility, Mr.. Eisenhower said
the fact that Cuba is increasing
commitments to sell sugar to
Communist countries makes it
an unreliable supplier for the
United States. This country
normally has bought about q
third Of its sugar needs from
Cuba, usually paying a pre-
MUM.
Dominican Republic Hit
AS for the Dominican Repub-
lie. the President said that
country's government - bossed
for 80 years by Dictator Rafael
Trujillo-was condemned unan-
imously by hemisphere nations
for violating the peace In Latin

requirement Of buying from the
Dominican Republic part Of the
sugar he cut OF from Cuba.

High Heels Exoneroted

shoes that one group wears and
the other doesn't be at fault?"
''Pick the heel heights most

ing and walking" DR.. Turchin
advised. Avoid the ones that
cause aches and cramps in the
legs"
There are times, he said,
when especially built shoes may
be therapeutic. But, he added,
they must be contoured for the
individual foot. 1.-THE Federal
Trade Commission, itself, pro-
hibits any commercial shoe
manufacturer from advertising
its shoes as orthopedic or cor
rective."
And, even women with foot
ailments don't have to wear
"old ladies Shoes" DR.. Turchin
declared. 1T is possible to buy
pretty footwear that both hu-
mors her feet and fiatters their
appearance without damaging
them"
DR.. Turchin said children
should not wear flat-heeled
shoes such as ballet slippers,
however. "The use of fiat heels
tends to enlarge the ankles and
throw the whole body out of
balance"
In general, DR.. Turchin said,
common sense and comfort
should be used to pick an in
dividual's shoes. Not the podi-
artist, nor other doctors and

facturers' advertisements"

High heels, low heels or mid
dle-sized heels; they don't nee
essarily harm a woman's feet as
long as she feels comfortable,
a Washington foot doctor be-
lieves.
In fact, he says. there never
has been any scientific study to
see what heel height, if any,
is best or the worst. The talk,
he adds, is all theory at best.
DR.. Charles Turchin, Washing :
ton podiatrist, declares it is the
hard ground and the relative
ability of a foot to bend prop
erly that may hurt the foot. It
isn't usually the shoe. And so,
he added, a woman may prop
erly choose her own size heel to
wear as long as she is COM
Portable on it.
Blaming foot ills on shoes or
high heels, he says is like
blaming headaches on hats.
"You can't cure a headache by
removing most hats nor can
you cure a footache by remov-
ing most shoes"
DR.. Turchin addressed the
regional convention of the
American Podiatry Association
where more than 200 foot doc
tors are meeting at the Shore
ham Hotel.
For example, he said, there
are millions OF Indians and
Chinese who don't wear shoes
at all. "They have exactly the

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. IL
(AP).-State segregation lead
ers prepared today for an 11th-
hour attempt to prevent public
school integration here on
Monday while the National AS
sociaiton for the Advancement

Thrurgood Marshall, chief
counsel for the NAACP, arrived
here from New York to file
another plea for injunction
against State officers. The aim
was to keep State authorities
from disobeying a Federal court
order to desegregate schools.
At the same time Represent

supersede the Orleans Parish
County school board, said
schools will be open Monday
but limited broadly that the

when Texas returned to the
Democratic fold, if only by a
