She visited the places
where the dolls counterparts
had lived.
"Since many of the dolls
are Kabuki theater charac-

and cute parasols underwent

She Changed Our Image Abroad
BY RUTH BAILEY
Star SPECIAL Writer

One reads and hears a
great deal these days about
the American image abroad.
Unfortunately, much Of what
Is written and voiced gives a
negative picture of the Amer
lean in foreign lands. The
American wife, especially,
has been a target of some
critics.
1t is refreshing, therefore,
and reaSsuring. to meet Sue
Lucas Abston. one of the
Washington areas youngest
authors.
When her husband, Oliver
G. Abston was assigned three
years ago to the American
Embassy in Tokyo. Sue set
out for Japan. knowing only
one word in japanese. "Sayo-
nara" She is now the author
Of a book published in Japan
last summer, has another
due off the presses early In
1864. and has completed re-
search for a third. An inter-
eSting thing about these
books is that they all deal
with various cultural aspects
of Japan and the second
book is written in Japanese.
That's quite a jump from
"Sayonara."
Won Friends
1t would appear that while
Mr.. Abston was employed at
the embassy, Sue was finding
the way not only to win
friends in a foreign country,
but to influence them as
we'll.
Yoshiko Uchioki, a former
teacher of Mrs. Abston's en-
joying an extended visit to
the United States, was over
heard recently saying:
"All the Japanese people
who know Sue love her"
A glance at her three years
In Japan would indicate that

nance sewer facilities for the
Bayou CaSotte area.
"Unless he withdrawS his OBJ
jections, you can forget about
the sewer SYSTEM" Holleman
said.
He told the group that it was
just a matter of time until the
area was annexed, 1866 at the
latest, and that the question
was not whether or not they
were annexed, but how.
"All we should be concerned
with at this point is making the
best deal, and I believe that &C.
cepting the present proposal is
the best path for the people of
Bayou CaSotte."
The proposal offered by the
city Monday would place the
areas containing the Bel Air
Shopping Center and the L and
N Railroad right of way on the
city tax rolls Immediately, but
would exempt the residential
sections until 1865, with first
city taxes due from the resi-
dents in 1867.

The minister, brandishing a
sub-machinegun, ran into the
street in his pajamaS to return
the fire, but the assailants fled
in an automobile. No one was
injured, and damage from the
attack was minor.
The governments tough
warning to the rebel miners was
issued by Defense Minister
Gen. Luis Bidagain.
Foreign Minister Jose Vel
arde said, meanwhile, the gov
eminent appreciated a US. aid
offer but did not need help
neither arms or munitions and
much less, personnel"
However, threat of an immi-
nent armed clash between the
army and the rebellious miners
dissipated somewhat with an
nouncement Of a truce" be-
tween the opposing factions.
The army command at Oru-
no. where the government has
been massing troops, said
forces sent out to cut off the
rebel elements at Catavi,
where the hostages are being
held, had been withdrawn. In
exchange, rebellious miners
called off a ''show Of strength
among peasant supporters in
the Bolivian highlands and
agreed to resume work at I'M
affected mines.
The rebels seized the hos
tages, including the Americans,
last Friday to force the govern
ment to release three Commun-
mist labor leaders being held on
murder and fraud charges in
La PaZ.
Correspondents who were al
lowed to visit the hostages in
nearby Catavi found them in
good spirits and generally well
treated despite some discomfort
and the unmistakable danger Of
their situation.
The Americans, with a Dutch
man and a German, have been
since Friday in a l2-by-18-
foot room in a mine-union IL
brary in Catavi. They sleep two
or three to a mattress on mat
treSSes thrown on the floor.
Their captors apparently are
feeding them well-dinner Tues

steak with mashed potatoes,
salad and coffee - and they
have chessmen, checkers and
