Castro Cabinet Eyes Eisenhower Cut in Cuban Sugar Tax
Washington sources say a presidential cut could trim Cuban sugar exports by 700000 tons, tightening U S purchases 600000 tons below the level needed for compensation fund payments. The decree imposes a premium price on sugar before American creditors are repaid and may be retroactive, with no appeal possible. The Cuban Electric Co figures as a likely target, being half American owned of its 300 million dollar valuation.
