Jones Associated Press Writer MEXICO CITY - One of the most unabashed and persistent salesmen in the world is undoubtedly the Mexican who chooses to peddle tickets for the national lottery drawings. You find him walking on the sidewalk beside you as you stroll, running in the street beside you as you drive, standing patiently beside you as you eat in a restaurant or drink at a bar. Sometimes he is on crutches. Sometimes he is young, and moves with surprising agiiilv l to keep up with the potent-abuyer who ignores him. Sometimes he is a woman.

The truth is that Finland is still paying off the 1918 loan, one of the oldest items in its budget, and the iast payment will not be made until 1984. The myth began in June, forked 1933, when Finland over $4S,592 as the first installment on an $8.99 million Hoover loan. All other nations of Europe defaulted.
