Joseph Varga, 34-year-old merchant seaman who told police he had married seven women without divorce, was sentenced Tuesday in municipal court to one to two years in State prison on a charge of violating probation. The charge was based on a made in 1944 that he complaint, to support six children by a woman he called his common-law wife Helen Henderson- Milwaukee. Varga revealed that he was wanted in Wisconsin for abandonment while Detroit police were holding him on another charge of which he was cleared. He waived extradition. Obligingly, he handed Detective Edward Wolter a list of women he claimed to in several cities.
Authorities' confusion over Varga's was increased Tuesday when another man named Joseph Anthony Varga was brought into district court, also on an abandonment charge. Joseph Varga's wife, Elizabeth, charged that he had failed to provide for her and a daughter, Rose Marie, since Jan. 21, 1946. Varga said it was easy to win the affections of women. Iranian Foe of Rebels Arrested Tehran Former Iranian Chief of Staff Gen, Hassan Arta, whom rumors persistently have linked with rightist preparations to resist the rebels in Azerbaijan province, was arrested Tuesday on charges of "subversive activities against the government." The announcement coincided with disclosure that the Leftist Tudeh (Masses) party was preparing a request for the addition of a senate to the single-house Iranian parliament.
The party said this would be the "first step" in bringing the self-proclaimed autonomous Azerbaijan government "back into the framework of the Persian state." The Iranian newspaper Ettlaat said Tuesday night that Soviet troops had begun the evacuation of Tabriz, capital of Iranian Azerbaijan, and that the they left were being occupied, by troops of the autonomous Azerbaijan government. There have been rumors for several weeks that Arfa, who was removed as chief of staff after Ahmed Qavam became premier, was connected with what was called rightist organization moving arms and supplies to tribesmen in the north to oppose Azerbaijan forces. Bigger Wheat Crop Forecast Washington, D. -The agriculture department Wednesday forecast a 1946 winter wheat crop of 830,636,000 bushels, compared with 823,177,000 bushels last year, If, as seems likely, this year's spring wheat crop exceeds last year's, the nation's total wheat production in 1946 will top the billion-bushel mark for the third consecutive year. A of this size in the United States, the world's biggest wheat producer, would go far to ease the international food crisis.
Wednesday's report covered only the winter wheat crop. An estimate on the spring crop will not be forthcoming for another two months although present indications point to a crop of at least 260,000,000 bushels. The crop reporting board's new estimate on winter wheat output considerably exceeded prediction last the, December. The board revealed that 991,000 bushels of wheat from last year's crop were still being held on farms as of Apr. 1, compared with 238,386,000 bushels in farmers' hands a year ago.
This is the lowest farm reserve of wheat that has been recorded on 1 since 1941. Government officials are trying to get it moved to market in order to speed up shipments to hungry countries. Our 41st Year O' Keefe and Towne FUNERAL HOME 415 FRANKLIN Poland Rakes Franco; Asks Action by UN (Continued) tration of troops at the border of France. 3. Franco Spain is a haven for "the largest aggregation" of Nazi assets and personnel.
4. Franco Spain is a refuge to a "large number" of Nazi war criminals and leaders "who continue their activities from Spanish territory." 5. Franco Spain and promotes" scientific research by German scientists "engaged in devising new means of warfare." The Polish complaint did not indicate whether these scientists were working on atomic energy. contended that in view of Franco Spain's current activities, the situation in that country was not an affair but one of concern the United Nainternal, tions. Poland's formal complaint against Spain and request for security council action came shortly after the 11 members of the security council including Lange -agreed at a secret, meeting to postpone until afternoon consideration of Russia's demand for elimination of the Iranian case from the council agenda.
Cooling Off Period. The five day "cooling off" period-another attempt to eliminate the tension that has prevailed in the council for over two weekswas agreed upon another closed meeting in UN Secretray General Trygve Lie's office. The meeting was called to make plans not only for facing the new Soviet-Iranian crisis, but the forthcoming Spanish controversy and selection of a "permanent" interim site for the U. N. The official announcement made no mention of the Iranian crisis, but said the secret meeting was called for "an informal exchange of views regarding the question of selecting a temporary headquarters site." The announcement revealed no decision was taken on the site, and that it will be studied further by Lie and his staff.
When the council adjourned Tuesday night there was confusion about when it next would meet in public to consider Russia's latest demand in the Iranian case and Iran's objection to Russian proposal. The council decided Wednesday to meet at 3 p. Monday for that purpose- giving delegates a long period in which to plan their strategy. Most delegates were not hesitant in predicting that the Russians were headed for another major defeat if they press for elimination of the Iranian case from the agenda before May 6, the date the Russians have promised to have all troops out of Iran. Dispatches from Iran further confused the issue, however.
Iranian Ambassador Hussein Ala told the council Tuesday night that Iran on the agenda May 6. He insisted upon keeping, the case said he was "instructed" to make such a statement. But Wednesday Prince Mozaffar Firouz, official Iranian government spokesman, disavowed statement, saying no new instructions had been sent to the ambassador and that it is "no longer Iran's business" whether the case is kept on the agenda. Ala had no comment to make immediately. Before the Tehran arrived, he said his last letter to the council represented his government's "final and definite views." He cancelled his plans to return to Washington.
In addition to the council's problem of finding a new site with larger office facilities and the Soviet-Iranian dispute, it will be confronted when it meets on Monday with Poland's charge that Franco Spain threatens world peace, The Russians--back at the council table after a self-imposed exile of 12 days, 21 hours and 42 minutes -have virtually no support for their vexing proposal for avoiding a report to the council on their recent agreement with Iran and on eventual evacuation of their troops. Iran Resists Move. Soviet Ambassador Andrei A. Gromyko had been back at the council table less than three hours before he ran smack into Iran's insistence that the council retain jurisdiction over their case until the last Russian soldier has departed Iran. There was virtually no chance that the council will reverse its last week's decision--calling on both Iran and Russia to report to the council on May 6, the date by which the Russians have promised total evacuation of Iran.
Iranian Ambassador Hussein Ala, fu another letter to the council said: "I am instructed to state that it is the desire of my government that the matters referred by Iran to the security council remain on its agenda as provided by the resolution adopted 4 April, 1946." But the Americans and British their fingers crossed. They noted that Gromyko was in 10 hurry Tuesday to have his proposal discussed. He concluded Tuesday's council meeting with this statement on that subject: "If the council wishes to consider my letter on Friday, I shall be prepared to accept that decision. If the council prefers Saturday, 1 shall consent to that. If the council prefers another day, I shall also be in agreement." The Council President Dr.
Quo Tai-Chi tried three times to adjurn the meeting. Only the third one stuck and then members agreed to adjourn until called by the secretary general. 10 Indicted for Fraud at Pearl Harbor Honolulu- (P) -Two naval officers and 10 civilians were under federal grand jury indictment Wednesday on charges of conspiracy to defraud the government of tens of thousands of dollars during the war through irregular business transactions.

Small Vote in Illinois Primary Chicago- (P) Candidates backed by the regular Republican and Democratic, Tuesday organizations in one scored of the smallest and most colorless Illinois primary elections in several years. The vote in the state's first postwar primary election, on the basis of nearly complete returns, indicated a statewide total of about 1.250,000 out of an estimated Illinois registration of 400,000.
The light turnout in the off year primary was attributed to the lack of contests for the statewide and Cook county Democratic and to lack of opposition tickets, organization candidates of both parties in the district congressional and state legislature balloting. Also cited as reasons for the smallest vote since 1934 were the absence clearcut issues and of spirited can campaigning. Twenty-five of the 26 Illinois congressmen, many of whom unopposed, were renominated, including Adolph J. Sabath, 80-year-old dean of the house. The Chicago Democrat, first elected to congress 40 years ago, held a four to one margin over his nearest opponent.
The only incumbent representative not seeking reelection was Republican Jessie Sumner. Of the 26 now serving, 11 are Democrats and 15 Republicans. Must Keep Branch Running Washington, D.

Lenten Thoughts Matthew 26:40 "Could ye not watch with one hour?" In Gethsemane the sad prelude to the crime of the ages is about to begin. Aware that conspiracy and apostasy will spawn their vile brood very soon, Jesus seeks to strengthen his soul to face impending disaster. His spirit reaches up to God; his social nature craves the close sympathetic support of his friends. But it is late; and life-long habits are not easily overcome; his friends are sleepy, The incident, of course, was not staged to typify great human weakness; but it does just that. It was not the last time that the followers of Jesus failed to stay Another of a series of messages by sented Waterloo daily throughout clergymen, to Lent.
be pre- awake when treachery, betrayal and 1 catastrophe were imminent. Hardly a century had I passed before other more subtle and damaging betrayers seized and mutilated the magnificent truths which genius of Jesus had given the world. Compromise with Greek philosophy and mystery religions, absurd doctrines formulated into stultifying creeds, irrational credulity, revolting superstitions, beliefs in devils and hell, and insistence upon a faith in the impossible: all but extinguished the light of truth's brightest beacon. These corruptions of pure religion have persisted. Christians have waited for miracles to correct men's stupidity and failure to be watchfully aware of approaching evils.
There will be no miracles. Repeatedly righteous forces, awaking to the tragic reality of human corruption too late, are scattered and frustrated!
