Tehran, Dec. 18-CUP)-'The Gov ernment of Iran charged today that the Azerbaijan uprising was fo- mented by a member of the Baku Communist party and that Russian forces in North Iran hamStrung Tehran's efforts to crush the rebel lion.
 An official statement by the gov- ernment charged that 8 Soviet For eign Affairs memorandum to the United States concerning the imme- diate withdrawal of Allied troops from Iran "by no means is consist ent with the actual facts, which by now are well known throughout the world.'
 Government forces, the statement said, would have been able to stamp out the subversive activity had they enjoyed freedom of action. But, it added, the Russian commander re- peatedly denied Teheran requests to send in troops tp deal with tbe autonomous. movement.
 The leaders of the uprising now have proclaimed Azerbaijan a re public,' and authorities in Teheran have conceded that the northern province is lost to Iran.
 The Government issued long statement today outlining it's posi- ton and it's version of the events in Azerbaijan.

 All shipping in the English Chan mel and other waters around South ern England was paralyzed by the storm this morning. Winds running up to 70 miles an hour were re- ported along the Channel coast and authorities warned that there was danger of German mines being

Marseille's
 Redeploying Nears Close

Marseille, Dec. 18-(UP)-Rede ployment through Marseille is drawing to a close. Officials be- lieved today that the next month to six weeks will see most of the task finished.
 Two of Marseille's three staging areas-Arles, capacity 100000, and Saint Victoret, ,000-already are closed. Calas the only remaining area in operation, has only 10000 troops, 30,000 short of its capacity.
 Forty-seven thousand troops .were scheduled to leave between Dec. 10 and 20, and 37,000 between Dec. 20 and 31. The average stay of seven days at the camp may be reduced to five days, according to Col. Roy P. Gerfen of San Antonio, Texas, Delta base chief of staff.
 The men now being shipped are in the 65-70 point class, and the processing of those in the high sos is expected to start late this month. In operation since November, 1914, Calas alone has redeployed more than 500,000 troops.

Cold Waue
 Unchanged
(By United Press)

Continued bitter cold for the next two days was in prospect today for most of the U. S., with heavly snow anticipated in the Ohio Valley and north into Illinois and Indiana.
 The weatherman predicted slight and shortlived relief for shivering residents in the eastern half of the nation, where temperatures were due to rise slowly to between 10 and 20 degrees today before dropping again in the wake of a second cold wave.
 By Thursday, the forester warn- ed, the country would be in the throes of another cold front sweep ing down from Canada.
 A white Christmas was assured for most of the United States. New snow was expected throughout the midwest, and chilling temperatures elsewhere prevented possible thaw.
 The southern end of the frigid zone warned slightly today, al- though subfreezing temperatures continued as far south as Arkansas and the northern portions of Ala bama, Georgia and Tennessee. Sub zero readings extended east from Montana to the Great Lakes region and south to Northern Indiana and Illinois.
 Buffalo, N. Y, buried under snow 48 inches deep during the weekend had light snows last night after a 21-hour respite.
 Coldest spot in the nation was Wilmar, Minn., where the mercury dropped to 20 degrees below zero. Bemidji, Minn., and Grand Forks, N. D., both had temperatures of 19 below.
 On the other end of the scale! Los Angeles, San Diego, Cal, and Miami vied for honors among the Winter playground cities. All three vacation spots had a high of 70 degrees, but Brownville, Tex. recorded 76 degrees.

 City Boards May Retire
 Veteran Public Workers

Retirement of several firemen and policemen. including members of high rank, will take place tomorrow afternoon at regular meetings of the Boards of Fire and Police Commis- sioners. While some secrecy sur rounds the contemplated actions of the boards, it was generally hinted that all veteran policemen and fire men with 25 continuous years of service to their credit and who are suffering from any disability will be permitted to be retired. Other veterans for the time being must carry on until "replacements' are found or the courts rule in their favor.
 Capt. Andrew OLeary of the East Main and Orange Streets station tops the list of fire-fighters sched- uled to turn in his badge. Favorable action also is reported for Capt James E. Cavanaugh, a veteran of 40 years. Pvt. Thomas Dougherty who was appointed on June Is, 1919 the same day Captain OLeary join ed the department, is listed also as one of the several eligibles who will be permitted to step onto the side lines for a needed rest.

 Special watches were posted along the coasts for German mines which might be ripped from their moorings and cast ashore by the gale.
 Twenty ships were riding out the gale at anchor off Deal. They in- cluded two hospital ships, the B. 000-ton American vessel Wlsteria and the 800-ton British ship St. Julien. Other ships were sheltering in Dover fIarbor.
 A lifeboat last night battled huge seas and high winds in futile eff fort to locate the source of green distress flares bursting about 10 miles southeast of Deal. Coastal watchers were unable to determine whether the flares came from a plane or ship. The Air Ministry said none of its craft was missing or overdue.

 Denies Charges
 Of Negligence

Washington, Dec. 18- (UP) - Capt. Charles B. Mcvay, 3d, denied today at his court martial trial that he was guilty of negligence and in- efficiency in connection with the sinking of the cruiser Indianapolis.
 The cruiser sank with loss of 880 officers and men few minutes after 1t was struck by torpedoes fired by a Japanese. submarine in the Philippines Sea last July 30.
 Mcvay told the Navy court hear ing the charges that he did not believe it was necessary for the cruiser to follow & zig-zag course. He added that he ordered his crew to abandon ship approximately eight to ten minutes before the cruiser sank.
 Did Not Need Zig-Zag
 McVay is charged by the Navy with failing to direct the cruiser to follow a zig-zag rather than a straight course. He also is charged with failing to give timely aban- don ship" orders.
 McVay was asked by his defense counsel, Capt. John P. Cady, if he gave any instructions regarding zig zagging.
 T did not" McVay replied. Con- ditions were such that did not believe zig-zagging was necessary. The visibility was very poor and there was no moon"

 Bible by 'Kompf'. Cross with Swostiko

Nuremberg. Dec. is- fUP) The Naz leadership corps was accused in court today of trying to replace the Bible with Mei- Kampf. the Cross with the Swastika. and the appeal Of Christianity with a say- age racial pride in "Aryanism.
 Col. Robert G. Storey Of Dallas, Tex, assistant U. S. prosecutor, stung Hermann Goering into wildly signaled protests as he sketched the Nazi aim to wipe out Christianity. Goering pounded the rim Of the dock with a pencil, ripped off his earphones and glared at the War Crimes Tribunal.
 Storey took up today where he left off yesterday, amidst a docu- mented. damning indictment of the Nazi leadership corps. He had asked that the court hold the entire corps, comprising hundreds of thousands of NaZi, guilty of war crimes.
 Cut Newsprint
 Storey read documents showing that Martin Bormann. deputy Fuer- Ter and the Nazi party chancellery ordered Alfred Rosenberg to muzzle a general who wrote or the spirit ual needs of soldiers.
 The Nazis directed the party press leader to cut off the supply of news print for 5000 religious publications. Rosenberg was asked to abolish l8 theological faculties, and a sugges- tion was advanced that theological positions in German high schools be vacated in favor of racial, biological and like sciences.
 ''The authoritative aims and &C., tions of the leadership corps involv- ed efforts to replace the Bible with Mein Kampf, the Cross with the crooked Swastika, and substitute for the universal appeal of Christianity the call of the blood of the German racial group" Storey charged.
 Observing that among the sol- diers of the United Nations the proposition that there were no athe- ists in foxholes received wide and reverent attention" Storey added that Nad leadership corps in con- trast sought to screen the German

 Wilkinson, former chief of Naval Intelligence, was questioned by the Pearl Harbor Investigating Com mittee about the erroneous listings of the whereabouts of certain Jap aneSe Warships.
 Sen. Scott w. Lucas, O., Ill), called his attention to Dec. 1, 194l, intelligence report which listed in Japanese waters two battleships and six aircraft carriers which parti- cipated in the Dec. ' attack on Pearl Harbor.
