While this kind of selling apparently violates no city ordinance, the Chamber of Commerce has taken what stepn it could to discourage these telephone salesmen. “As the new year begins, we are employing a different method to screen undesirable peddlers. A committee consisting of the mayor, chief of police, retail merchants chairman, a DePauw dean and a membeu of the Chamber’s executive board has been formed. All applications to solicit will be acted on w:ithin three days and where it seems advisable to grant permits, solicitors will be registered at the police department and the Chamber of Commerce
office.
"We feel that this board can bring about more effective control, but full public cooperation will be necessary, it isn’t bad manners to ask a door-to-door salesman for his credentials. If he is a reputable person, he will wel-

Propaganda War Waged In Egypt CAIRO (UP)—The United States and the Soviet Union are fighting a propaganda war in ; Egypt today with the country’s bookstalls and box offices for battlefields. This year the United States will spend S500.000 on its information program here, the Soviet 1 Union considerably more. The money goes into books, magazines, movies, cocktail parties and exchange visits—anything that can affect the way 22 1 million Egyptians think about the two countries, or win some of their goodwill and sympathy. The propaganda war here is just one phase of the broadscale battle going on globally for the world's uncommitted millions: the people whose sentiments may eventually decide the East-West struggle. Prefers Jail To Relating Truth BLOOMINGTON (UP)—Mis. Alberta Mattews, 71, a former school teacher and administrator, vow'ed today she will go to jail rather than take a courtroom oath to tell the w'hole truth in a mortgage foreclosure suit. The su t was filed in 1954 on behalf of the French widow' and daughter of the late Henri Louis Bourdin, w T ho held a mortgage on an 80-acre Monroe Ccunty tract of land knowm as the “Lost Eighty” where Mrs. Matthew lives alone. » Mrs. Matthew' refused to take the truth oath in Monroe Circuit Court Wednesday afternoon when figures in the case appeared with attomeyfj for a pre-trial examination. The case w'as scheduled for trial Jan. 17. Mrs. Matthew said court procedure makes t impossible to tell the “whole truth” in court. She ( reached that decision after long study of law books, which also convinced her, she said, that the I plaintiffs in the suit are not legal heirs to Bourdin’s estate and that in the absence of legal heirs the mortgage should die rather than j revert to the estate. Court officials and Attorneys i wert studying what to' do now'. I
