Mosquitoes Taste
Deadly Poison
Many of Douglas County's mos
quito breeding grounds are being
treated with a new deadly ooison.
according to the Douglas County
Sanitarians Dept.
The new poison, dieldrin, was
tested last year, but is lo ne usea
on all standing water breeding
grounds which do not overflow into
fishing areas. The poison Is some
what more toxic to fish than DDT.
The poison will not be used, how
ever, until later in the season when
water runoffs have been stopped
by dry weather.
Meanwhile, the mosquito control
program has been underway since
April. County Sanitarian Horace
Miller related that coverage of
most of the breeding grounds of
the county will havo been complet
ed by the second week in July.
Tho poison used, however, is DDT
which docs not effect fish. Spray
ing has continued with DDT on log
ponds, cold decks, roadside ditch
es, some sloughs and other bodies
of standing water, he said.
The county will then be re-treated
with dieldrin.

WASHINGTON I - Sen. Spark
man (D-Ala) accused Republicans
today of trying to brand the Demo
crats as "traitors" and Sen. Fer
guson (R-Mich) retorted that the
Democrats are becoming "cry
babies." This claim of expressions came
amidst these political develop
ments likely to have an impact on
the November election battle for
control of Congress:
1. House Republican leaders
maneuvered for a compromise on
the Eisenhower administration's
flexible farm price support plan
while Democratic Leader Rayburn
of Texas claimed victory for rigid
supports in today's crucial house
vote.
2. 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

2 Portland Mills
Facing Closure
PORTLAND un Another Port
land sawmill is going out of bus
iness. It is the West Oregon Lum
ber Co. 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.
Oppenheimer Considers
Appeal To President
PRINCETON. N. J. Itf-Dr. J.
Robert Oppenheimer said yester
day "l don't dismiss" the possibil
ity of appealing to President Ei
senhower the Atomic Energy Com
mission's decision barring him ac
cess to secret atomic data.
The atomic pioneer said he was
surprised by the President's state
ment that he would be listened o
if he decided to appeal, and added
that the idea "never occurred to
me." '
In a telephone interview, Oppen
heimer said his present plans arc
to continue research in fundamen-
' tal physics although it will be "a
nuisance not having clearance to
many laboratories.
There are many private institu
tions, Oppenheimer said, at whjrh
experiment' are being conducted
for the government and where he
is "not welcome" any longer.
