We Are
Beautiful
Americans
BY ISABELLE SHELTON
Star staff Writer

There aren't as many ugly
Americans" around as some
people seem to think.
In fact, there are "a lot of
beautiful Americans" many
Of them doing fine, and
sometimes unappreciated,
work overseas.
So says the American
widow of a Japanese diplo-
mat, who has lived abroad
for more than 20 years.
She is Mrs. Gwen TeraSaki,
an American girl born and
raised in johnson City, Tenn,
who met and married a Jap
anese diplomat here in Wash
ington in the early sos, re-
turned with him to Japan
when war broke out in 1941.

Theater
Mrs. TeraSaki and the
couples only child, Mariko
Mako, now q beautiful
statuesque brunette mother
Of three, were at a luncheon
given yesterday in the New
Senate Office Building by
Senator Estes Kefauver Of
Tennessee, an old friend Of
Mrs. TeraSaki's parents.
Actress Carol Baker, who
plays Gwen Terasaki in the
film, also was q guest at the
luncheon.
Miss Baker told the lunch
con group of the very NOV
ing emotional moment" when
she and Mrs. Terasaki fl
nally met in johnson City.
The movie had already been
completed before the two
met. They eyed each other
warily at the airport.
Il think Mrs. Terasaki
didn't know what to expect"
the actress said. Il gather
she visualized that scene in
La Dolce Vita where Anita
Eckberg, playing a movie
star, arrives"
Understood
The two women exchanged
glances, land all of a sudden
it was all right" Miss Baker
continued. I'VE threw our
arms around each other. We
had empathy. I think I can
say we were two women who
more or less understood each
other"
Then, the actress said, she
turned and saw Mako, stand
ing by her mothers side. I
had been working with two
children who played Mako at
S and 9.
Spontaneously said: oh.
she's all grown up. I feel just
like your mother"
Expanding after the lunch
con about her feelings on the
Ugly American" Mrs. Terra
Saki said:
I'm sure the men who
wrote the book had a point.
There are some Ugly Amer
leans But I feel so sorry on
behalf Of the State Depart
ment men. So many Of them
do an excellent job. We don't
have q monopoly on faults"

Amateur Press
lobbyists Pursue
Convention Fun

About Is members of the
American Amateur Press AsSo-
citation, more interested in fun
than business, are holding their
25th anniversary convention at
the Ambassador Hotel this week
end.
These are people who spend
eight hours a day at the office
and then go home and put in
another few hours preparing
their journals and pamphlets.
For the most part, the only
readers they have are others
like them.
This is a hobby and fra
ternal organization" jam e S
Lemon, the convention chair
man, explained yesterday. THE
publications have nothing to do
with the members daily Ewing:
it's an outlet for their desire
to write"
The main function of the
association is to serve as a
clearing house for the publica-
tions. Each member sends a
stack of his latest issues to
Hastings. Mimi. where a per-
son in charge of distribution
sorts the copies out and re-
turns a stack containing a
copy of every other publication.
The people who belong to
the organization love to write
but either can't or won't make
a living at it. Or they may be
like the publisher of the Ding
bat Gossip" who collects old
type and displays it in his
paper.

Higher Tax Bills
On Realty Go Out

The District Finance Office
has mailed out the annual real
estate tax bills, carrying the
higher levy voted recently by
the Commissioners.
About $4,000 bills have been
sent, calling for payments to-
falling about $58.1 million.
This is about $5.4 million
higher than last years figure.
Most of the increase reflects the
rise from $3.50 to $3.50 per Sl0O
of assessed valuation.
Also mailed out were the an
nual bills on business inven-
tories. Both of the taxes are
payable in two installments, the
first September 30 and second

Malnutrition and igno-
rance of correct dietary
habits were called major
world problems yesterday by
a group Of home economists
from various countries now
visiting the United States.
To cite three examples:
Argentinians eat a lot of
proteins but not Snough of
vitamins; Ghanians gener-
ally overlook their food. and
in the West Indies there is a
deficiency of vitaminS.
The 20 women in the group
will study home economics
on undergraduate and grad
uate levels in colleges all
over the United States. They
are here under auspices of
the International Co-opera-
ton Administration.
In Washington they are
taking an American orienta-
ton program at George
Washington University and
the Department of Agricul-
ture.
Movements Under Way
Mrs. Nora Wynn Soluble of
Argentina asserted her peo-
pie are just too fond of meat.
MY country is one of the
greatest meat producing
countries in the world. My
people get protein more than
they require but are starved
for vitamins.
Hence, a move is afoot to
make them eat more vege-
tables. fish and eggs, and ex-
port the meat thus saved" she
said.
Mrs. Soluble, who is a
teacher of home economics,
also observed that Argen-
tinian women need instruc-
ton in the proper way to
cook food, because they either
overlook or undertook their
dishes.
Emphasizing the need for
the same kind of instruction
in Ghana, Miss Hilda Tam
akloe. who is an assistant
in the Ministry of Agricul-
ture, said there is plenty of
food to go around, but that
its nutritional value is
spoiled through improper
cooking.
Mrs. Enid Lawrence, who
works as the supervisor of the
Social Welfare Commission
in Portland, Jamaica, said
that in the West Indies car
bohydrates and sugar are
high in the diet.
There's protein included in
their diet but there's a big
lack of vitamins.

Another bill to Eemorialize
the late President Franklin

Nations Capital has been in
troduced in the Senate.
Senator Douglas, Democrat
of Illinois. has offered a
proposal identical to one spon-
Sored in the House by Rep
reSentative Mcdowell, Demo-
crat of Delaware. The park
idea is an effort to avoid a
controversy over a monument
design.
Judges in a Roosevelt Com
mission competition sometime
ago selected a series of stark
marble slabs as an appropi-
ate memorial to the late
President in West Potomac
Park.
Raped by Critics
The slabs have been dubbed
by critics as useless book
ends" a monumental mock
cry" a "free-form Stolehenge"
and giant tombstones."
Senator Douglas asked what
was more appropriate as a
memorial to President Roose-
welt than the creation of a
garden spot on the Potomac? :?

ested in nature and cited these
words of the late President as
an eloquent description" of
his concern for the natural
beauty of the land.
