Propaganda War Is Going In Egypt for AMI'S By tcmVAftt) COWAN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. it A survey of realtors in 218 cities Shows that last year's demand for housing "will carry over into 3958 with increased urgency" and with unabated emphasis on quality. Conducted by the National Association of Real Estate Boards, the survey found that home buyers have been rejecting poorly maintained properties and that the price of such properties has been Slipping in an otherwise stable market. For good-quality houses, prices Will continue at current levels in a majority of areas during the first half of the year, the report said.

Choice Relatively Limited Discussing the findings, NAREB president Kenneth S. Keyes of Miami noted that many persons who are already home owners and who might have bought better homes last year did not do so because of relatively limited choice. This development, he said, has retarded the "filtration process" and held in the "occupied" category many deficient or dilapida- units that, in a more active market, would have been pushed By LAKRY COLLINS United Press Staff Correspondent CAIRO (UP) States and the Soviet Union aro fighting a propaganda war In Egypt today with the country's bookstalls and box offices for battlefields. This year the United States will spend $500,000 on its information program here, the Soviet Union considerably more. The money goes Into books, magazines, movies, cocktail parties and exchange visits anything that can affect the way 22 million Egyptians think about the two countries, or win some at their goodwill and sympathy.

Die choir rungs as his eyes swept up and down the chessboard. A chess authority in the crowd of spectators whispered in awe "If he wins the title, It will be the greatest miracle in all chess history," Across the narrow room, in another final-round game of the tournament for the coveted U.S. chess championship, sat the great Samuel Reshevsky, an al grandmaster and long regarded as one of the world's greatest players.

U.S. At A Disadvantage The United States starts off with a disadvantage. First, U.S. policy gets an almost daily roasting in the press.

Rightly or wrongly, U.S. policy is read by Egyptians as supporting her two biggest enemies, Israel and Western colonialism. "We could spend all the money in Ft. Knox here and not overcome the psychological success the Russians scored with the Sputnik," said a United States Information Service official. But on the other hand, the United States has one enormous advantage: American films, books and magazines have a following here the Soviets have not been able to crack.

The Soviet offerings suffer from one universal shortcoming their propaganda value is high, but the entertainment value is low. Russian publications range from dense Marxist ideology to soya bean raising and the care and feeding of babies. Soviet Cheaper Their biggest advantage is their price. Most are practically given away for one, two or five platers (three, six or 15 cents), a fraction of what Western publications such as Life and Newsweek sell for. But they are dull as yesterday's dishwater and after splashy starts, follow up editions usually gather dust on the newsstands.

The USIS official answer to the Russian output includes a weekly paper in Arabic mailed free to 50,000 people, and newsletters on economics, science, military affairs and current events going to some 70,000 people each month. But they suffer, though to a lesser degree, from that same disease: dullness. WPH!

Rental fiernrtticl Nation-wide vacancy rates in rented units of all types have changed only slightly since 195fi, the report said. Last year the rate was less than 2, per cent in most parts oi the country.

"This continuation of rental demand in a market that has absorbed some eight million sales units since 1950 testifies to the general strength of demand and the unwillingness of most families to live in inadequate housing If any practical choice is available to them," the report added. It said vacancies predominate in housing that is "poorly maintained or Inadequately equipped," or located in deteriorating neighborhoods.
