White (Associated Press Staff Writer) SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. lMVOrdinarily , man'g religion is his personal affair, but it was world news nearly 20 years ago when China's Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek became a Methodist. Now there la talk in China that he may be approaching a second conversion this time to the Catholic church. Thus far this has been mere speculation, but speculation increased greatly this week after the young, vigorous archbishop of. Nanking, Paul Yu Pin, was asked at a Nan king press conference if the gen eralissimo was becoming interest ed in the Catholic religion. "I hope so," replied the arch bishop. ' It is not at all clear whether Archbishop Yu is merely express ing a hope or speaks with fore knowledge of Chiang's intentions, says special dispatch by Asso ciated Press Correspondent Spen cer Moosa in Shanghai. Important Figure The young archbishop is an im portant figure in China. At 45 he is next to Cardinal Thomas Tien in the Chinese Catholic hierarchy. He also is a delegate in the na tional assembly for the communist-held Manchurian province of Heilungkiang. Moosa recalls that for some years he has been on close terms with the generalis simo, and this relationship has not deteriorated as the govern ment's relations with the commu nists have grown worse since V-J day. The rumors that Chiang might be interested in Catholicism as a personal faith began in Chung king in 1943, recalls Moosa. Since then the generalissimo has edited a new translation of the new tes tament psalms by a Chinese Cath olic whose personal history lends color to the rumors. This man is the famous jurist, John C. H. Wu. who formerly was a Protestant but embraced Catholicism in 1937. Chiang recently named him Chi- minister to the Vatican. Lack e-f Unity Nate In a book dealing with he, con version, Wu criticizes what he calls the ' appalling lack of unity and certainty" in Protestant the ology. Moos a says that it is not known whether Wu has influenced Chi ang, and points out that Chiang became a Methodist only after ex tended study of the life and teach ings of Christ. CARS CRASH.
