REPORT PROM U.S. Senator ■RLt HELMS WASHINGTON —Sometime back, I ran across a report which offered an interesting commentary on how the leaders of a labor union spend the untold millions of dollars paid in dues by members of the union. The information was contained in a brief filed in a fed eral court case. It included the fact that the average annual dues paid by union members is $lB5 —and that, of the $lB5, Only $3 is spent by the union on collective bargaining. Much of the rest goes for political purposes. Union lead ers acknowledge that in 1976 they spent "at least" $lO million on behalf of Democratic Party candidates. The actual political expenditures by the unions are believed to be far greater than that. WORKERS —It doesn't matter whether the dues-paying union members happen to agree with the political choices of their leaders. The workers have no say-so. I heard a prominent union leader acknowledge on television the other day that a great many of the members of his union favor Governor Reagan for President. No matter. The leadership of the union does not favor Reagan; therefore the union is endorsing President Carter. A recent poll by Opinion Research Corporation showed that 71 per cent of the American people—including 65 per cent of the Nation's union members —are opposed to the use of union dues in political campaigns. I feel that it is time to call a halt to such excessive polit ical power as is now being exercised by union leaders. I have introduced a bill (S. 2325) which, if enacted, will make it un lawful for union leaders to force their members to finance the campaigns of candidates whom the workers do not favor. FAIR —The union bosses have already declared that my legislation is "anti-union." It is no such thing. It proposes only that an element of fair play be restored to the political process. I am not opposed to labor unions. But I feel that no American ought to be forced to join a union in order to get a job, or keep one. Nor do I believe that any worker ought to be forced to pay dues to support political activities which he or she opposes. ERA —We live in an era when the inordinate political clout of a few labor union bosses has almost become an accepted fact of life. I do not feel that any segment of society ought to be conceded the right to dictate the political process. This is true of the instance of other political groups, as well. A week or so ago, for example, I received a letter from a self-proclaimed "black leader" in North Carolina. The letter threatened me with political retaliation if I did not support a judicial nominee about whom I have raised some questions. I felt obliged to reply to the "black leader" that if he knew me, he would know that I do not yield to political threats. I would rather go home to North Carolina than to remain in a job which required me to knuckle under to any pressure group. I realize that the political process will never be made perfect But thare are many adjustments that we can and should r " alFO | i ftfTf|Hlff across the poetical spectrum are ex ercisiSiJ foi'-too mukh power today—and, frankly, too many Members of Congress cast their votes in response to the de mands of these pressure groups. And that's the wrong way to achieve good government.

BMk?o&Sfdi^gs Letter To The Herald Editor: Pubic Hazard To the Editor: As doctors, we wish to express our concern about the public health hazard caused by the large amounts of smoke in our air in this region. The burning of large pieces of land is causing blankets of smoke over homes and highways. The smoke contains large amounts of particulate matter; this is harmful to the lungs as well as creating dangerous highway con ditions (such as along busy Highway 17), These are direct threats to public safety. We hope to bring this concern to public attention, and request the assistance of appropriate officials to correct this situation. Sincerely, Candace N. Corson, M.D. George Knowles, M.D, David O.
