Sebald, New U.S.. Aide in Japan,
Once Tossed Promising Naval Career
To Wed English Japanese Wife

WASHINGTON, DC, Sept 2s-
This country's new chief political
adviser In Japan, William J. Sebald
who now holds the personal rank
OF ambassador, once gave up his
career for the woman he loved, ac-
cording to Jim G. Lucas, Scripps-
Howard staff writer. Lucas adds
that Sebald's wife was niminally a
Japanese citizen.
A graduate of the Annapolis Ma
val academy in the class of 1922,
Bill Sebald had been an intercol-
legiate boxing champion and stood
high enthusiastically. Two years Ia
ter, a lieutenant jg., he was sent
to Japan by the Navy as lang
rage officer attached to the Ameri-
can embassy in Tokyo.

To Learn Language

His assignment was to learn the
Japanese language. In Japan he
was well liked In both the Ameri-
can. colony and the diplomatic
crowd. An eligible bachelor, he
was prominent in social life of the
capital.
Lieutenant Sebald seemed assur-
ed of successful Navy carren-
until he fell In love. 1t happened
at summer weekend party In the
mountains. There he met Edith
De Becker, daughter of an English
man and his Japanese wife. De-
Becker had taken out Japanese
citizenship and became a promin-
ent barrister In Kobe.
Miss De Becker had gone to the
summer resort that weekend ZEN.
gagged to a British army officer
She met Bill, and returned home
to tell her parents she was engag.
ed to two men-both officers.
Father Furious
De Becker was furious, hi.
daughter said later. It was point
ed on to young sebald that hi
was risking his career. that he
would be little good to the Navy
of a war ever came with Japan
and he was married to Japanese
wife.
De Becker Withdrew his objec-
tons, but the Navy remained skep.
teal. The love match persisted
and in 1927 Bill Sebald and Edith
De Becker were married.
For a few years he chung to his
career. Then In October, 1880, he
resigned and went into the Nava
Reserve. In 1894 he quit the Navy
altogether.
Sebald returned to the United
States, obtained a law degree from
Maryland university, and went
back to Jaan in 1888 to join the
law firm of De Becker, and De
Becker and Sebald. He practicetl
there until 1899 when the threat
of war drove him back to the Uni
ted States.
Woman without Country
Their marriage involved sacri-
fices for Sdih Sebald as well. In
marrying an American, she lost
her japanese citizenship. But this
country refused to recognize her,
Her fathers people, the British
would not take her In. De Becker
died several years before the war.
For 10 years, Edith Sebald was
a woman without a country. She
frequently accompanied her hus-
band on iris abroad, but always
with the fear that the japanese
would refuse TO let her return home.
Attempts to get her into the United
States under immigration laws
failed.
War came. and Bill Sebald was
welcomed back into the Navy on
Dec. 8. 1941. He went to the OFF,
ice of Naval Intelligence. where his
skill in the Japanese language was
needed. Bill Sebald served through
out the war, leaving the Navy with
the rank of captain in November
l945.
He went back to Tokyo as pol
itical adviser on the staff headed
by George Atcheson Jr. When
Atcheson was lost in plane crash
off Hawaii recently. sebald was
named to succeed him as chairman
Of the Allied Controy council for
Japan.
There's another happy ending tc
the story. On Aug. 4, 1916, Pres
ident Truman signed a special aci
Of Congress comforting American
citizenship on the girl Bill Sebalc
married, for whom he was willing
to give UP his career.
