CURB ON NAMES
 IN CHINA NEAR

Shanghai =, (UP) = The use of several names and half dozen aliases is not confined to movie stars and fugitives in China. Here it has been common practice for Chinese to have as many names as they please, chaging them as their ambitions or state of mind change, but complications which arise in official records have led to a movement for restriction. The Ministry of Interior has requested revision of the Chinese Civil Code to limit each person to two names, an ordinary name and courtesy name.
 One of the most serious difficult ties resulting from spur -of-the- moment name-changing arises at election time. With elections to the Peoples Assembly approaching >the Ministry of Interior is espe- cially anxious to eliminate the many-name system and assure a "clean" poll.
 Court Summons Refused
 Anotner cOmpucatlOn, Wnlcn ulS- rupts Chinese judicial affairs, is the refusal of 8 Chinese to accept court summons issued in one of his names, which he VOWS is neither his family nor courtesy name. Many educated Chinese have as many as four or five names, plus number of literary pseudonyms. Government officials also adopt sev- eral names, as in the case of Gen. eral Chiang Kai-chek, the nations strong man," who also is addressed as Chung g-chen" by friends who wish to show respect for his posi- tion as president of the Executive Yuan. The late Dr. Sun Yat-sen, founder of the Chinese republic, still is referred to by the honorific Chung Shan"
 Custom Centuries Old
 The practice of using several names is an ancient custom in China. At birth a Chinese may be named after an animal or bird. or according to his weight, or the order

of his arrival in the family. When he enters school he is given another name, his school name," and few years later, he may adopt some such name as "Tseng Kuan" (Conquest of the World), or "Kuo Liang" (Pillar of the Nation). In maturity and old age his philosophy changes, and so again does his name.
 But all this will be changed short ly if the Ministry of Interior is suc- cessful in having the Civil Code revised. WesternerS in the Orient, encouraged by the ministry's pro- posal, now anxiously anticipate a movement to confine the spelling of each Chinese name to on more than two different ways.
