Many have dreamed of winning lame and fortune by going over Niagara Falls In a barrel. Six people have done it. Three lived three were pounded to death by the waters. The only surviving victor of the falls now is Jean Lussier, who bounced and floated in a home made rubber ball over the Cana nian side of the cataract on July 4. 1928. He emergea uninjurea. Jean a rugged former carnival stunt man. now works as a ma chine operator In an industrial plant here. He will be 59 years old this year and next Sunday will attend t.ie baptism of his fourth child a five-weelc-old boy. Lussier, who has escaped the bid luck that caught up with other con querors of the Niagara, says be would like to go over the falls a second time. But with him it's strictly business. READY "Show me the dough, and I'll to." he said. "But it will have to be this year or next after that I'll be too old." Jean would like to become the first man to history to go over the American side of the falls, which is particularly hazardous because of the rocks beneath. He already has designed a three layer rubber ball to be built around an aluminum frame. He says all he needs now is a sponsor willing to put up $3,000 to construct the ball and the S10.000 fee he wants to make the voyage. "I'll go over any waterfall In the world in a rubber ball." h said. "If the fall is too high, I'll put wings on the ball." The first person to ride over Niagara Falls successfully was a rinuahtv laay scnooneacner. bits. Annie Edson Taylor. Her vehicle was a crude wooden barrel with Iron hasps. According to tradition at the last The expert advices from Peter Edson and other Washington cor respondents make it clear the real barrier to a steel settlement is not a wage boost but the union shop Issue. In fact, this question is now paramount not just in steel, but In several ouier major uiuu&uica. What Is s 'union shop" control? Tt is cuw under which a worker in an organized plant is given 30 oays after fairing to join the gov erning union. If he does not. he must either pay union dues any way, or face discharge from bis job. In the contrasting "closed shop," nobody can be hired by the em ployer unless he is already a member of the union. This ar rangement is now barred by law, but the union shop is not. Large segments of American management nevertheless stoutly oppose the union shop, largely on tne grounds that it amounts to violation of an individual worker's rights under the Constitution. , NO DECISION The Supreme Court never has passed on the constitutionality of compulsory unionization. But it has ruled that a worker may not be denied employment because of union membership. It seems far 1 etched to imagine it would co to the other extreme and insist upon I memoersnip as tne password to JOD. There is something foreign to me American tradition in compul sion carried, this far. Of course we must obey the laws and pay taxes and serve In the armed forces if called. But these are not the same as being compelled to attach one selffinancially or any other way to any particular organization, society or group. The basic union argument for the Spellers Seek U.S. Crown WASHINGTON Ufi The 25th an nual National Spelling Bee came up with an unprecedented number ol fancy spellers Thursday, and when the youngsters knocked off for lunch after eight rounds, there still were. 21 left in the contest. Only 30 fell by the wayside dur ing the opening rounds. Best proof of the fact that exper ience counts in spelling bees as everywhere cite: Six of the con testants have been here in previ ous years and all six were still going strong for the ninth round. The youngest speller here (and the judges say he may be the youngest ever to come to a spell ing bee final) went out In round eight. He was Raymond Sokolov. a sixth grade youngster from Hampton school In Detroit. Raymond is only ten. and so short his feet came nowhere near touching the floor when he sat down. He fell over a man-sized word, "assananre." ' Two others went out In rminrf ight. Freddy Oiusti, 14. of Logan, W. V., and Mary Runvan, 14, of Rockford, Ohio. Freddy missed "camellia" and Mary went out on "homily." BILL JENKINS Managing Editor (BoijJq moment she said "I don't want to go." But her backers reportedly noured her two water glares full of Scotch, closed the hatch, und pushed the barrel out into the current.

Leach had a rather unfortunate j ending for a stunt man. While touring new zeaiana v,in his iron barrel in 1926 he slipped on an orange peel and died. Lussier was the first man to do the job scientifically. He spent $7,000 and a year preparing. He constructed his rubber ball himself. He entered the ball at 3:05 in the afternoon, went over the 167-lout falls at 3.55. and came out of the ball at 4:33 SLOW JUMP How does H ieei going over me - annum muc uu ; hjicn to labor falls? i of public representaUves onlv. morf powfr "I kept bracing for a sharp Jar. ! hc board now can recommend ryJ" r " but it never came," recalled Lus-1 wavs of settling a union-manage-' So the labor members of WSB sier "It was like making a skijment dispute.

"Free riders" is the term laoor applies to non-Joiners. RIGHTS This is not the place to argue the psychology or justice of the non-joiner's position as against the union majority. But whether he is being fair or not. his freedom to choose what working and social associations he shall make ought not to be penalized. Put in the most brutal terms, a man In America must be free to be a heel If he wants to be. This is not said to grant labor's argu ment about non-joiners. It is iust a way of saying that our guaran tees of individual rights were not designed to prevent selfishness. They were framed to promote 'he maximum reasonable expression of the Individual self. In the same fashion, our crimi nal laws are aimed not primarily at catching all the guilty, but rather at protecting the innocent. ne practice justice on tne theory it is better for 10 guilty men to escape punishment than for one innocent man to be penalized. If we draft laws or countenance agreements to force unselfish be havior, we may soon be forcing other kinds of "wise and neces sary" behavior.

The tie meant that the ordinance proposing fast time was defeated ana urants rass IS to stay on standard time. Unless, that is. it changes its mind. Other Oregon city councils have done that, some going one way and some another. Others, like the one at Grants Pass, could not decide .which way to go. At Lebanon the council had three meetings before everybody conchvied that confusion would be official. There the downiown stores moved their clocks, neigh borhood stores ' did not nor did the city hall or schools. Some mills seemed confused with one having some shifts daylight and others standard. At McMinnville the council voted for standard time, then changed its mind and voted for daylight. The 8weet Home council which voted for daylight is being pressed by petition-circulators to go back to standard. Medford approved DST, then up held the mayor's veto of it.
