The Evening Star reported that Secretary of State Dean Acheson cautioned against resorting to war after Dominican President Rafael Trujillo requested congressional authority to declare war on nations harboring anti-Trujillo invasion forces. Acheson stressed that established inter-American procedures existed to resolve disputes peacefully without military conflict.
