Automation In Kitchen Washington Mosque Indicates Growth of Asia Religions NEW YORK U) Automation entered the kitchen today and showed how a housewife can cook a party dinner without deserting her guests. At a demonstration, a model pushed a button with her pretty little hands and then walked away to let a new experimental General Electric Co. freezer-cooker take over. Dishes, previously prepared and stored in the combination freezer- cooker, were pushed out automatically, shifted to the oven, thawed and cooked electronically.

Each dish entered the oven on its own time schedule so that it would be finished with the others. Thirty-five minutes later, soft chimes rang and the cooked meal emerged on a tray on the "dining room side" of the freezer- cooker. The menu was roast beef, peas, whipped potatoes, mushroom gravy, hot rolls and hot apple pie. "The XPC-1 'experimental programming cooker) is not for sale and we do not plan to market it," explained Arthur N. Becvar, industrial design manager of GE's appliance division.

"We built it to see if automation could help get the housewife out of the kitchen at party time." After today's demonstration, the XPC-1 will go to the National Housing Center in Washington. D.C. It will be on display there for six weeks. Gallery Offers Peck Paintings Some 40 of the "finest paintings of the late distinguished San Francisco painter, Orrin M. Peck, will be auctioned publicly April 29 and 30 and May 1 and 2 at Leon Seville's World's Arts Auction gallery, 314 Sutler street.

Therein hangs a tale, rather unusual. Although these pictures were painted about 40 years ago, they were never offered for sale before. This was due to the fact that every time Painter Peck's sister. Miss Janet M. Peck, took a fancy to any of his paintings, he would give it to her instead of placing it on the market.

Now that all the personal belongings of the late Miss Peck are to be sold as a part of settling her large estate, her private collection of her brother's works are included, she having kept them in her home most of her lifetime. Among these are portraits of notables of the 1920's as well as landscapes and character studies. A Switch RIVER FALLS. events at the annual winter carnival of River Falls State college was called off in favor of swimming party in the college pool. The reason--no snow.

A I In this city of famous sights, a sound is the newest tourist attraction. It is the wailing sound of a muzzin's voice 'issuing from a loudspeaker in the minaret of a mosque. Five times a day it calls Washington's Moslems to prayer with the sing-song Arabic words: "La ilah ilia Allah, Muhammed rasulu Allah" (there is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet.) The prayer calls were heard for the first time this month, at the start of the Moslem holy season of Ramadan. They will continue year-round in the future, as a regular part of worship at the Islamic Center now nearing completion on fashionable Massachusetts Avenue here. Asia Religions Grow of this beautiful white mosque in the heart of the U.

S. capital has brought home to American Christians a fact which their missionaries in Asia have been reporting, with mounting concern, for the past several years. The major Asian religions, after centuries of decline and decadence, are again showing vigorous signs of life. The strong spirit of nationalistic pride sweeping Asia has sparked a resurgence of loyalty to "native" faiths, such as Mohammedanism, Buddhism and Hinduism. And it has raised formidable new barriers to the further spread of Christianity, which many Asians associate i "Western colonialism." Dr.

Tracey K. Jones executive secretary of the Methodist Board of Missions, told a recent conference of Christian leaders that the Asian religions have now begun to "look upon the United States itself as a fertile ground for their missionary efforts." "They are gaining converts and building temples in this country," he said. Limited Scale A United Press survey, prompted by Dr. Jones' remarks, indicates that this "reverse missioff- ary" effort is still on an extremely limited scale in America. A spokesman for the Islamic Center said are about 100,000 Moslems in the United States, of whom the vast majority are immigrants from Arab countries or the children of immigrants.

The biggest Moslem communities are in New York, Detroit and Toledo, Ohio. The Washington mosque serves about 500 local Moslems, nearly all of whom are assigned to embassies of Arab nations here. "We have gained some converts among native-born Americans, especially those of the colored races," said the Moslem spokesman. "We have no precise figures on these, but the total probably doesn't exceed 3,000. Most of them are in Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Chicago." The attraction of the Moslem faith to some American Negroes may be due in part to its emphasis, on elimination of any distinctions of race or color within the "Brotherhood of Islam." Moslem missionaries have made this point with telling effect in Africa, where Christian missions are seriously handicapped by the widespread knowledge that most of America's churches are racially segregated.

The only other Asian religion which has a substantial following in America is the Judo Shin sect of Buddhims, organized in this country under the name of Buddhist Churches of America. It has 48 churches, of which 34 are in California. These churches have a total of about members, most of them Americans of Japanese descent. Intellectual Movement Hitoshi Tsufura, spokesman for the church at its San Francisco headquarters, told the United Press that there has been a "small but steady flow" of white converts into Buddhism in recent years. Most of these converts, he said, are university professors and students who find intellectual satisfaction in Buddhist philosophy.

Dr. M. S. Sundaram, cultural attache of the Indian embassy, said there are "at most" 4,000 Hindus in the United States, most of them natives of India who are here on diplomatic or other business. "It is sheer rubbish to say that Hindus are conducting a missionary effort in the United States," he said.

"Hindus wiE not even accept converts, let alone seek them. The only way you can become a Hindu is to be born into the faith." Some Americans of Chinese descent are followers of Confucianism and Taoism. But these religions have no formal organization and no membership estimate is possible. Despite the resurgence of native religions in Asia, Christianity still has far more adherents than any other faith. There are about 800 million Christians in the world, compared to about 321 million Moslems, 309 million Hindus, 300 million Confucians, 150 million Buddhists, 50 million Taoists and 12 million Jews.
