OAS Acts Against Trujillo Ike comments on Cuban crisis: meeting in Costa Rica, the organization of American states takes the unprecedented step of imposing economic and diplomatic sanctions against the Dominican republic, following charges that Trujillo ordered an assassination attempt on the president of Venezuela. The next topic, soviet infiltration of Cuba, provokes an explosive reaction from Castro, and as the Cuban Crisis seems to worsen, President Eisenhower at his white house press conference keeps open the door for conciliation between Cuba and the other hemisphere states.
