Similar bills were voted on in other states at the last general election. Also on the fire are bills to re quire labor unions to open their books for regular financial inspec tion; to regulate strike ballots; to place financial responsibility for breaking labor contracts, and to regulate union election procedure. Closely aligned with this type of legislation are proposals to revise unemployment compensation laws. Employers want reductions in pay. roll taxes for unemployment pur poses and laws tightened requiring jobless claimants to be active in the labor market. There also are suggestions that the workmen's compensation rates be revised. Labor's Desires On the other hand unions want liberalization of unemployment and workmen's benefit laws; in creased weekly unemployment! pay; more rigid neaun ana safety laws for workers; changes in the Industrial Accident Commission's procedure.

The Veterans' Advisory Commit tee to the State Department of Veterans' Affairs has recommend' ed that amendments be enacted putting "more teeth" in the public employment preference law for veterans on public work jobs, making the hiring of veterans mandatory regardless of oreaniza. tion affiliations.

(U.B Ted Nelson has done for soaring enthusiasts what the ski lift in ventor did for skiers eliminated the tedious part of the sport and kept the fun. Launching soaring planes by towing with an auto, airplane or winch robbed the sport of much of its pleasure. Nelson felt. So he put a 50-pound. 25-horsepower engine on his glider. "The motor is powerful enough to lift my Dragonfly into the air and permit me to prowl for the thermals the rising air currents that give impetus to soaring," Nelson explained. He is going to make a non-stop flight to San Francisco on three gallons of gasoline just to prove it can be done and then he hopes to make a transcontinental trio. Nelson does not plug his glider as a means of transportation. It's for pleasure flying, with the dirty work removed, he tells friends; Chiang May Alter Faith Cotton duck got its name from tne fact that some of the early mills stamped the heavier weight canvas required for ship sails with a picture of a duck. In time all cotton canvas became known as "cotton duck" or just duck. Biblical references to "a day's journey" involve approximately twenty-three and one-fifth miles.

WHITE Associated Press Staff Writer SAN FRANCISCO (P) Or dinarily a man's 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 is 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 in creased greatly this week after the young, vigorous archbiship of i Nanking. Paul Yu Pin, was asked I at a Nanking press conference if the Generalissiml was becoming interested in the Catholic religion, j "I hope so," replied the arch-; bishop. Archbishop May B Hoping 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 a special dispatch by Associ ated Press Correspondent Spencer Moosa in Shanghai. The young archbishop is an im portant figure in China, At 45 he is next to Cardinal Thomas Tien in the Chinese Catholic heirarcby. He also is a delegate In the na tional assembly for the Commu- nise-held Manchurian province of Heilungkiang. Moosa recalls that for some years he. has been on close terms with the generalise simo, and this relationship has not deteriorated as the government's relations with the - Communists have grown worse since V-J day, Translates New Testament 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 Mew Testament psalms by a Chinese Catholic whose personal history lends color to the rumors. This man is the famous jurist, John C H. Wu, who formerly was Protestant but embraced Cath olicism in 1937. Chiang recently named him Chinese minister to the Vatican. In a book dealing with his con- version, Wu criticizes what he calls the "appalling lack of unity and certainty" in Protestant the' ology. . Moosa 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. After that he married Metho dist, American-trained Soong Mei-Ling, and Moosa adds that one of the more interesting items in the speculation today whether she would fnllnur r-M into the Catholic faith if he em braced it himself. Moosa concludes by saying that no one Dossiblv not even rMon himself knows whether he is go ing 10 Decome a latnouc, but that most of the speculation centers on the nossihle nnlitiea) pffo-tE , such a step, particularly in rela tion to wnangs long-standing differences with the Communists.
