By HENRY CATHCART Central Press Washington Correspondent Tv'7'ASHINGTON Congressional opponents of so called union security provisions in the postal reform bill are preparing for a full scale battle over what they say is an issue which threatens the "right to work" of federal employes.

Sen. Paul Fannin, is threatening to lead a Senate filibuster to kill the union security provisions National Advertising Representative Mathews, Shannon Cullen, Inc. 757 Third Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10017 v'4fW WINS LONG FIGHT Elliott Ashton Welsh talks on a phone in Los Angele3 after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in his favor on his appeal that he should, not ba drafted because he is a "non religious" conscientious objector.

He started his legal fight four years ago. and his supporters contend he has enough votes to maintain the filibuster indefinitely. Rep. David Henderson, N.C, plans to introduce what he calls a "freedom of choice" amendment to the postal reform plan. While a similar amendment was defeated by a 14 to 8 vote in the House Post Office Committee, right to work advocates have stepped up pressure on congressmen since that vote and they, now say the amendment has a good chance of passage.

At issue Is the right of individual postal workers to refuse to join or financially support a union. Federal executive orders now prohibit federal unions from negptiationg security agreements," which require workers to pay dues to unions to keep their jobs. "Right to work" laws in 19 states prohibit TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION By carrier service and by box mail through Kane Post Office pw week 60c by mail, other than box! holders, $2.00 per month; $5.50 for three months; $10.00 for six months and $19.00 per" year for papers going through the Kane Post Office to the rural routes and subscribers residing any place in the first and second postal zones.

It can now be added to the pollution of our air by smoke, the pollution of our rivers and lakes by oil and detergents, the pollution of our surround union securities for any industry, But should Congress approve the postal reform package as pro posed by the Nixon administration, postal unions could negotiate union security agreements, in the other 31 states. UNEXPECTED Postmaster General Winton Blount, the Alabama contractor who formerly headed the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, surprised congressional conservatives when he accepted the union security clause in the administration's postal reform measure.

Blount's defenders, however, point out that the threat of a national postal strike of even greater proportions than last spring's big city walkout forced him to accept the union demand. Blount also feared that the administration's postal corporation proposal would never emerge from committee if opposed by organized labor. A concession on the right to wprk issue was the price the administration paid for labor's support. Supporters of Fannin's amendment in the Senate and Henderson's amendment in the House are confident they have the votes to win, even though the right to work campaign was late in starting. Fannin supporters count 35 "sure" votes against shutting off debate on the "right to work" issue.

Another half dozen senators are thought to be supporters. (A two thirds vote of members present is required to invoke cloture in the Senate.) In the House, right to work supporters claim they have more than enough votes to assure the death of the controversial postal section. Henderson, a Democrat, notes with partisan sarcasm that his amendment will pass "if the Republican House members honor the pledge (to freedom of choice for federal employes) made in their 1968 platform."

Everyone who has a political axe to grind bombards all of us with rhetoric and words that carry political promises that are never achieved, are lost from MISTAKES AND ENEMIES INVENTS Happen so thick and fast these days that even some of general interest' tend to slip by without comment. One can go back, though, and catch up a bit.

We propose to do so with regard to something said not long ago by, New York's Mayor John V. Lindsay. He added to his credentials as a remarkable politician by admitting in public that he made a mistake when he seconded Spiro Agnew's nomination for vice president at the 1968 Republican convention. Republican or not, Lindsay now says that he disagrees with the vice president's approach to politics and thinks that Agnew appeals to "our lesser instincts" in his attacks on people. This spectacle of politician acknowledging error is rarely seen In most cases there is great reluctance to do anything of the sort, perhaps out of fear that admitting one mistake might lead constituents to look tnore diligently for others.

Yet only a stupid man would maintain that he has never erred. Another belief common' among politicians is the unwisdom of making enemies. Yet here again a caveat can be entered: a man without enemies seldom amounts to much. This brings to mind an incident in the career of Grover Cleveland, twice president. When, at the 1884 Democratic convention, he was attacked by a Tammany Hall delegate a Cleveland supporter found an effective retort.

Hesilenced the attacker and brought the convention to its feet when he exclaimed, "We love him for the enemies he as macje." It's a point for men in public life to ponder.

flashing lights, caused a collision on the way back from a false alarm. Since then, the American Ambulance Association has set down rigid rules about violations of traf fic rules by speeding ambu lances that, in most instances, can do more damage than good. Any doctor who "rode ambulance" in New York City as part of his internship will substantiate this dogmatic statement. It is almost impossible to tell the direction of a screaming siren. If you become confused and stop your automobile, you invite being hit from the back.

If you continue, the misleading siren wailing car may cross your path from a side street. In many people, the siren produces a momentary sense of panic that causes reflexes to be diminished and increases the chance of accident. Now, if you will, add this new experience that happened to me in the streets of New York City. Normal automobile traffic, which is at best slow, was herded off to the side by the persistent wail of a "dog ambulance" on its way to a life saving emergency. I do not deny the right of an animal to be spared by (emergency services.

But I do deny any ambulance driver the liberty to avoid the responsibility of sensible traffic laws because he has, been given a screeching siren. All lives, hu man and animal, must be spared not threatened. SPEAKING OF YOUR HEALTH: It still is a good rule to have your teeth examined twice a year.

Countless storytellers professed to have known him. Who? Why, Mike Fink, "king of the flat boatmen," and one spectacular companion of Davy Crockett in some actual and much fanciful folklore.

It is certain he was a keelboatman, that he was a remarkable rifle marksman, that Jn 1822 he joined a' party which ascended the Missouri River1 to its uppermost reaches to open up'trade with the Indians of the Northwest," says an authority. That was an epochal expedition organized by William H. Ashley for, the Hocky Mountain Fur Co.

From it came back' tales of Mike Fink riding a wild moosi, wrestling a bear, eating a whole buffalo.

His early books of non fiction included "Men on Ba taan" (1942) and "Into the Valley" (1943) and were direct reflections of his experiences as a war "Hiroshima." Man's inhumanity and his courage are also the themes of Hersey's most ambitious novel. "The Wall," the story of the extinction, of the Warsaw ghetto by the Germans. Among his later novels were "A Single Pebble" (1956), "The War Lover" (1959), "The Child Buyer" (1960).
