C Douglas Debe voise, whose

firm has extensive sugar interests

in the Dominican Republic, urged

Congress to reject President Ei

senhower's request that the Car

ribean country's sugar quota be

reduced.

Bebevoise said he feared eco

nomic chaos would result if the

bonus were withdrawn, thus enab

ling the Communists to take ove*

from dictator Rafael Trujillo.

His testimony before the House

Agriculture Committee put him at

direct odds with Undersecretary of

State Douglas Dillon. He said

Wednesday that giving the extra

sugar to the “inhuman” Trujillo

would further Communism in La

tin America.

Debevoise said he feared eco-

S. consumers would be forced to

pay higher sugar prices if the quo

ta were reduced Congress raised

the Dominican quota last month

to make up for a cut in Cuban

imports.

The United States, meanwhile,

was moving toward a break in dip

lomatic relations with, the Trujil

lo regime as decreed by the foreign

ministers of the Organization of

American States (OAS) in Costa

Rica this week.

Several Latin American coun

tries already have complied and

the United States will follow suit

very soon. But officials said it

will not simply walk out of the

Caribbean country cold.

Important U. S. affairs will be

placed in the hands of another

government-apparently Britain.

This country also probably will

leave a handful of consular offi

cials in the Dominican Republic

to handle visas, worry about fu

gitives from U. S. justice and look

after American business interests.
