New Psssporls Due Travelers Washington - IUPII - Ameri cans traveling abroad soon will be carrying a new, more colorful, less expensive, eas ier to clean, harder to coun terfeit passport. The new passports will be issued starting Jan. 1. Holders of existing passports will not have to get new ones until their present documents ex pire. The State department an nounced Monday that the new passport will have a plastic cover "impervious to almost all liquids, humidity, heal, cold, sunlight, and smudgy hands." It will be colored "horizon blue" instead of the current dull, sickly green. Passports issued to diploi mats will be black. Maroon passports will be issued to non-diplomatic U.S. officials. The ink on the green pass rort has a tendency to run in damp climates, sometimes coming off on clothing. The corners got dog-eared. All that is supposed to be elimi nated with the new passport, which is the result of 18 months of research. The de partment estimated the new passport would cost S59.000 less each year to make. Officials said the new pass port would be harder for spies to counterfeit. This is partly because of an imprinted eagle which appears sometimes frontwards and sometimes in reverse on different pages.
