ACKSON Sen. Sparkman Fires Back At COP Accusations WASHINGTON I - Sen. Spark man (D-Ala) accused Republicans today of trying to brand the Demo crats as "traitors" and Sen.

Both sides claimed a political victory in an administration de feat of t Senate Democratic move to cut income taxes, after the Democrats had scutllcd a Repub lican plan for lesser cuts. 3. Democrats outnumbered Re publicans in voting Wednesday for passage or tne aaministration s tor eign aid bill, prompting Rayburn to remark that 'it looks to me like we need more Democrats in Congress to help the President get his program tnrougn." 4. President Eisenhower called for bipartisan cooperation on for. eign affairs, while declining to re- nudiate criticisms voiced by Vice President Nixon against policies of former secretary ot Stale Dean Acheson.

Trade sources said still another mill, the Inman-Poulsen Lumber Co., may follow suit. West Oregon, which has em ployed 150 men in recent months, announced its decision Wednesday. The mill has been closed by the lumber strike, but the strike was not blamed for the decision to shut down. Difficulty in getting logs was I blamed. Oificials said it was hard to find logs for sale, and costly to make increasingly longer hauls to the mill. The mill had no timber holdings of its own. Sale of the Inman-Poulsen mill to the Georgia-Pacific Plywood Co. was completed. Trade sources said the mill, which employs 300 men, probably will be closed since it does not "fit into Georgia-Pacific operations. The Inman Poulsen purchase gave Georgia-P a c i f i c much timber in Lincoln County, where Georgia-Pacific also has ac quired a big sawmill, the C. D. Johnson mill. Phone Installers Over Nation Stage Walkout (Continued from Pag One) bers were following their example elsewhere in the 44 states where they are employed. The strike was called after a breakdown in negotiations between the CWA's District 10, and the Western Electric Co., which is the manufacturing arm of the Ameri can Telephone and Telegraph Sys tem. The union is seeking a new work contract with various benefits, and the breakup in contract talks dashed hopes of a last-minute set tlement hinging on an Increased wage offer from Western Electric. The walkout could cripple the nation's telephone system. It at-, feels telephone operations in 44 states and the District of Colum bia. States not involved, a union spokesman said, are Maine, Ver mont, Now Hampshire and Wyo ming. l,at last night Western Elec tric, manufacturing arm of the Bell Telephone System, offered a general hourly pay boost of from 4 to 7 cents. The company's pre vious offer had been 4 to 6 cents. The union, whose contract ex pired May 2, has been demanding 6 to 8 cents more an hour. Cur rent wages average $1.86.
