Castro blasts U S sugar quota cut as Cuba baits allies
Castro denounced the United States over a sugar quota reduction and warned Washington it would backfire. He accused the U S of complicit profiteering with Batista and urged markets like Brazil and the Philippines to supply sugar, while Mexico eyed cheaper U S imports and the Philippines and Philippines offered milder proposals. The Soviet Union named its first ambassador to Castro's government and backed Cuba against U S policy.

U S weighs new moves on Cuba
The United States weighs options against Castro’s Cuba after Eisenhower cuts 700 000 tons from the Cuban sugar quota, with total losses to Cuba around 35 million dollars. Sugar authorities note the cut rises to 856 000 tons including the extra 156 000 ton quota. Ezra Taft Benson orders purchases from other sources to cover the deficit as Castro is labeled hostile and unreliable for a major food supply.

Law School Grad Held in Girl Killing
John Wilbanks, 41, a Birmingham area resident and law-school graduate who has failed the bar three times, was held without bail on a first-degree murder charge in the rifle slaying of Barbara King, 9, Sunday night at the family summer cottage near Take Martin. Autopsy and lab tests tied a German Mauser rifle owned by Wilbanks to the fatal shot. Wilbanks denied guilt, deriding ballistics as unreliable.

Navy raises wreckage of blimp in search for survivors
The Navy began salvaging the crashed blimp and pursued survivors as wreckage was hoisted from the water. About 10 crewmen remained missing while rescued sailors include Donald L. Schaumier of Flint Michigan and Antonio Contreras of Geronimo Texas. A Navy board led by Klein investigated the incident and theories cited a possible helium line failure causing the blimp to deflate. One survivor recalled a sagging banana shape before the craft plunged into the sea near the Venus patrol area, the Doris May II aiding in rescue.
