INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Colleges and universities will be required to collect the two per cent state sales tax on textbooks, food and some housing accommodations under terms of a ruling made public today by the Indiana State Revenue Department. Revenue commissioner James C. Courtney said the ruling would become effective with the start of the second semester. The subject had been debated with many state institutions of higher learning taking the ...position that they should be exempt from collecting the tax from their students. However, the department said “all sales by college-owned and operated bookstores, including sales of textbooks and school supplies, shall be taxable in the same manner that sales by other retail merchants are taxable.” “All food sales; including the furnishing of regular meals to students in dining halls or other facilities, are taxable. Where room and board is furnished students, faculty or other personnel, that portion of the char ge representing meals...is taxable,” the ruling said. “Rental of rooms and other housing facilities to students, faculty and other personnel where such rooms are rented for periods of longer than 30 days are not taxable. Rental of rooms in student unions, motels, or other housing accommodations which are available to the general public or to visitors and where such rooms or accommodations are rented for periods of less than 30 days are taxable."

Plan Meeting In London On Cyprus Peace LONDON (UPI) — British, Turkish and Greek leaders will meet in London next Monday, Jan. 13, to seek a Cyprus peace compromise, authoritative diplomatic sources said today. The foreign ministers of Greece and Turkey, and British Commonwealth and Colonial Secretary Duncan Sandys will attend the meeting and prepare for a full dress conference with Greek and Cypriot representatives, the sources said. The full Cyprus conference was expected to open in London Wednesday, Jan. 15, the sources said. Britain was understood to be pressing for the speediest possible high level discussion of all parties concerned. The Turkish and Greek governments have notified Britain they will send their foreign ministers to London at the weekend.

The ministers will meet with Duncan Sandys Monday and ♦Tuesday to align the policy of the three powers which are responsible for Cyprus’s independence and the constitution settled by the agreements of 1959 and 1960. The full dress conference will include the Greek and Turkish Cypriot representatives. There was no official confirmation so far that Archbishop Makarios, president of Cyprus, will attend the conference. Nor was there any indication to date if a United Nations representative would participate the London conference. Makarios has informed U.N. Secretary General U Thant that he favors a U.N.- observer to be sent to Cyprus. Discussions are in progress on the choice of a special representative arid a group of advisers to assist him. Diplomatic sources said the U.N. observer, once appointed, may be asked to participate in the London talks, possibly at a later stage. Current plans envisage the setting up of a commission of Greek and Turkish Cypriot representatives under a British chairman. This commission would try to work out a compromise between the demands of Makarios
