When a foreigner makes a rare visit to a Japanese home, the wife stays in the background, quietly serving tea and cakes.

When the visitor asks if the woman can join the group, typically both husband and wife appear stunned "There is," Enoki said in an interview, "a lot of consciousness-raising to be done here." To do this, Enoki's "Pink Panthers," women in white military style uniforms with pink helmets marched, held sit-ins and protest rallies. Such confrontations, not normally prized in Japan focused on demands for women's rights to abortion. and easier access to contraceptive -pills, which in Japan can only be dispensed as medicine, not as birth control aids by doctors, most of -whom are men. But Enoki's reform proposals have seemed increasingly radical to many of late, calling not for female equality but for female supremacy in a future matriarchy. This split the feminine ranks between the conservative, middle-aged and elderly supporters and a more militant band of younger single women.

General support appeared to wane, too. and criticism of her leadership grew. children Only in recent years has it hecome less embarrassing for a husband to have a working wife, but only as long as there are no children at home Japanese wives rarely go out with their husbands. Vacations are often taken separately with friends of the same sex. When asked if they ever share their work or worries with their wives, males Japanese politicians, who hold 740 of Parliament's Foreign minister of India praises Carter policy goals "the stirring words of President Carter" in his foreign policy speech at Notre Dame University in South Bend, on May 22, "when he spoke about bridging the great divide between the rich and the poor." Vajpayee, whose official title is minister of external affairs, added that India is ready to contribute to U.S.

initiatives to restrain foreign arms sales, halt nuclear weapons proliferation and end military rivalry in the Indian Ocean. "I would like to dispel the notion that India's nonalignment would inhibit such cooperation." Vajpayee continued. "On the contrary, the aims of nonalignment will be easier to realize if all powers, great or small, work towards the noble objectives such as those which President Carter has outlined," he said. New York Times News Service TOKYO Japan's women's liberation movement has folded. After enduring five years of frustrating struggle and ridicule, which can be immensely powerful in group-conscious Japan, the only major women's liberation group and its affiliates, have shuttered their offices and admitted defeat at the hands of an overpowering male chauvinism and a wide generation gap among women seeking to change their social status.

"1 am afraid the cause of women's liberation in Japan is finished," said Miswo Enoki. Enoki, a 32-year-old pharmacist, led a fight to legalize birth control pills in 1972 that ignited the modern women's movement in this land where change comes slowly. The drive for women's rights in Japan may be revived some day if the maturing generation of young women breaks sufficiently with strong family ties to make the social soil more fertile for change. But without Enoki, who has become a symbol to many through Japan's pervasive mass media, the women's liberation movement here is expected to virtually disappear for the foreseeable future. Enoki, who uses her maiden name and is married to a physician named Natsuo Kiuchi, said she planned to spend the next few months in a hospital principally recovering from exhaustion.

Then, as part of a bargain she struck with her husband when he lent her $38,000 to help finance her party's recent political campaign, she will return to doing the housework in their suburban Tokyo apartment. Her 36-year-old husband, who said he had gained a new appreciation for the rigors of homemaking during his wife's absence, has agreed to write off $2,670 of the loan for each month's housework. At that, noki will be among the highest paid females in a male-dominated country where women did not have the right to vote until 1946 (and then only at the insistence of American occupation authorities). Now they are a majority of the electorate. According to Japanese magazines, books, television, men and parents, a woman's place is to make tea and babies not a career or waves.

After high school and, for some, college, a Japanese woman typically works in an office, factory or bank until perhaps her mid-20s, when she comes under the most intense parental pressure to marry and have children. It is a rare woman who resists for long. Even the militant Enoki felt compelled, as a sign of respect for her elderly parents' wishes, to get married eight years ago at age 24. After marriage, the typical woman's life revolves almost totally AP wlrphoto Soviet artisan uses a microscope in restoring an ancient icon Russians restoring religious art works NEW DELHI, India (AP) The foreign minister of India, the largest nation of the Third World, said Saturday that President Carter has set foreign policy goals worthy of support by "all powers, great or small" including the nonaligned camp.

Vajpayee made the statement in a toast to visiting U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Warren Christopher. The statement later was issued as an official government press release In a significant departure from past Indian criticism of U.S. policy, Vajpayee said he recommends some of Carter's goals to India's friends in the Third World. Christopher told reporters later, "We are on the verge of a new era of close and friendly relations between the United States and India." In the toast, Vajpayee said India noted with approval Ethiopia wins round in fighting guerrillas NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) Ethiopian troops and militia, backed by planes and armor, apparently have won the first round in a battle to regain control of the eastern Ogaden region from Somali-supported secessionist guerrillas, diplomatic sources in Addis Ababa reported Saturday.

Reached in the Ethiopian capital by telephone from Nairobi, the sources said that the Ethiopians apparently recaptured one town and severed infiltration routes used by the Western Somali Liberation Front fWSLF) in widespread fighting in the last two weeks. They added that while the fighting appears to have died down, reports of skirmishing around the southern town of Kebri Dehar continue to reach Addis Ababa. The Front has said it controls 60 per cent of the Ogaden region, which neighboring Somalia has claimed since its independence from Britain in 1960. Ogaden is a barren, semi-desert region that makes up almost a third of Ethiopia's territory and is inhabited almost entirely by nomads of Somali origin. Fighting centered mainly around cities controlling the strategic all-weather road that runs from the railroad city of Dire Dawe in the north of Ogaden to Kebri Dehar and Beyong in the south.

Since the 1950s, restorers have been able to slip off the paint of newer icon only in separate patches, a method that irreparably damages it, he said in an interview. Spending sometimes as much as three years on a single icon, Filatov first spreads it with an organic compound covered with a compress. When the painting has become soft, he slowly starts to lift the top layer away with a scalpel. When the newer icon has been slipped onto a board, both layers may need a thorough cleaning and brightening to bring out faded col ors.

I Come Seel MOSCOW (AP) Restorers are hard at work trying to save some of Russia's greatest art works religious icons hidden under layers of paint on the walls of churches, museums and even the Kremlin. Some of the icons haven't been seen in centuries, and were discovered by specialists using infrared light, and rays. Some are hidden under icons painted by later artists. The restoration has become a major project as the Soviet government begins to treat Russia's pre-revolu-tion history with greater respect. A new and much-publicized law protects historical monuments, including churches, and Soviets are becoming aware of the attraction icons and old churches hold for foreigners.

Specialists in restoration have discovered the priceless ancient works of art elaborate depictions of Christian themes in the stylized forms of old Russia using the infrared light and rays. As the icons of the early masters faded or went out of style over the centuries, later artists painted over them. Today restorers are working to save the older icons, considered more valuable than the newer works. But there are cases where both the older and newer icons are priceless, so the restorers await technological developments that will allow them to save both. Technology for saving both Icons is advancing, however, and some experiments are under way on how to save both layers.
