Blood immediately began pumping from his arms and through plastic tubes onto the flag. Kirsons spread his arms and said he was spilling blood "for all the oppressed people of the Soviet Union." New prayers get opposition LONDON ? The Church of England has published an alternative prayer book, and some traditionalists are j accusing the church of an unforgivable trespass against the poetry of the 318-year-old Book of Common Prayer. j The Alternative Service Book 1980, the use of which is not compulsory, changes "they" to "your," and shortens "give us this day" to "give us today." "Our trespasses" becomes "our sins," and "For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory" becomes "For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours." j Dr. Ronald Jasper, dean of York and head of the liturgical commission which adopted the new book, defended its modern English and pointed out the Book of Common Prayer can still be used if most of a congragation prefers it.

Bob Jones III, head of a large, very conservative private college in South Carolina, wants what he called "a lewd photograph of a woman's backside" removed from Atlanta's new airport. But city officials defended the picture as a work of art. "There is a photograph...that I find hiehlv ob jectionable. The photograph referred to is that of a black woman's backside." Jones, head of Bob Jones University in Greenville, wrote Airport Commissioner George Berry. 4'The figure that you refer to is not a black woman, but rather a white woman dancer in black leotards," Shirley C. Franklin, Atlanta's commissioner of cultural affairs, wrote back.

Decision could cost jobs DETROIT ? A "bitterly disappointed" United Auto Workers president says the union will ask President Carter to override a federal decision not to limit auto imports - a decision he says could cost more than 100,000 American jobs. Though conceding such predicitons were "awfully hazy," Douglas Fraser said, "You're talking about well over 100,000, minimal" lost jobs.

Ravenel says he has no regrets about being a Democrat, but he admits this year was not a good time to run in that party. Ravenel ran an unsuccessful race for Congress and lost in a close contest to Republican Tommy Hartnett. "It was a time not to be a Democrat, and a situation in i which the Dublic's aneer at thp wav thinac airo B 0 Uft V TT u J V VUIVU on Democrats." Ravenel said. "We knew that, but we didn't know the extent of it." The public's backlash against Democrats "started at the top (with Carter) and ran into Congress," he said in an interview published Monday in the Beaufort Gazette. "I have no regrets at all about being a Democrat," Ravenel continued. He said he believes the tables will turn again. But he is undecided about seeking office again. Workers won't cut beards^ NORTH CHARLESTON ? Some workers at Mauai Shipyard here are bristling at orders to shave their beards so their respirators will fit better. One, who declined to give his name, said he reluctantly shaved after years with a beard, including his entire married life. He said his wife wasn't happy with the way he looked so he's started growing it back. Shipyard spokesman Michael W. Shumake said 21 workers were told to bare their faces and by the end of last IweeK 10 had done so. He said the workers, mostly painters and welders, must use the respirators on the job and it had been determined the hair prevented the proper seal between the device and the skin. What will happen if the order isn't obeyed, according to Shumake, is 4 'something that nobody wants to comment on." An official of one union representing many of the shipyard's 7,000 employees said if he had a beard and were ordered to shave it, "I'd tell them to shove it." I a%. J ' ~~* L |h r" li:; . ' ""
