Observers here said the government of Premier Rash ida Kawawa Is clearly show ing its determination to mak" full use of Its unique position as a democratic government without any opposition in parliament. The two labor bills were clearly Inspired by the wish to avoid neighboring Kenya's strike wave. In view of earlier vocifer ous opposition from Tangan yika's labor leaders, the easy passage of the two tabor mea sures caused surprise. Chapel In Home Can Double As Shelter Beevllle, Tex. - WPP - The South Texas Children's home, a Southern Baptist institution, has built a basement chapel that could double as a fall-out shelter in a nuclear attack. The school Is 90 miles southeast of San Antonio. Its shelter could house and pro tect more than 150 children and staff members for two weeks. It was seen as ..n Import ant factor In the present gov ernment drive for authority in the labor field that for mer Premier Julius Nyerere, expected to become the coun try's first president whole heartedly agreed with the new labor laws. He told a news conference the government was not pre pared to "allow the law of the jungle in industrial rela tions in Tanganyika."

After a rowdy rally in the Victoria lake region of the country, Kawawa issued a ban on all ANC meetings in that area. When he was asked at a recent news conference how long he wanted to continue the ban. he said it would be maintained "as long as is necessary." The ANC la said to have only a few thousand members Restless Sleep May Be Result of Fatigue Chicago - HTD - Snorts, gurgles and whistles disturb the sleep of one out of eight Americans. A report on snoring, pub lished in "Today's Health," said that enlarged tonsils or adenoids aren't the only causes. Other causes of snor ing cited included poor mus cle tone of the throat, fatigue, excessive smoking, obesity or general ill health. although it claims a much larger membership. Having failed to gain a single parlia mentary seat in the general elections, the party is not regarded as a possible alter native to the present govern ment, composed solely of Tanganyika African National Union (TANU) members. Local observers said they found it hard to understand why the government should take a tiny, ineffective minor ity party so seriously. They said that either the ANC was far more powerful than its small membership indicated or the government was moving the way of Ghana in eliminating all op position, however powerless.
