 The Council meets at 8 p. m, EST, after long Easter weekend with the Iranian question first on its agenda and then Australia's s proposal for on Investigating conn mission for Franco Spain.
 But few delegates expected a final vote on the Iranian question today. Most of them looked for more pro- longed debate and wrongling with the linority-RuSsia, Poland and France-possibly using new tactical rnaneuvers to avoid being voted down.
 Russla's Demand Only Issue
 Despite the many things that have happened in Iran since the Council first started on the case here in New York, the only question before the members now is Soviet Russia's demand that the issue be wiped off the agenda immediately S-befSre the May date on which Red Army troops are supposed to be out of Iran.
 The United States and Britain, supported by six other Council members, are adamantly opposed to abandoning jurisdiction until the Russians have fulfilled their new evacuation promise. The Russians broke the March 2 treaty evacua- ton date.
 There were four documents before the Council on the 1ranian case:
 CD Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Gronyko'S letter asking the Coun- ell to drop the case in the light of the Soviet -Iranian agreement on oil, AzerbaiJan and troop evacua- ton; C2) Iranian Ambassador Hus- sein Alas withdrawal of the Tram ian charges against Russia on inc Structions from his government and under circumstances that indicate Soviet pressure was used; (3) sec- retary General Trygve Lies inemo- randum suggesting that retention of the case on the agenda after both sides formally requested that 1t be dropped might be illegal: (D an eight to three report by the Councils Committee of Experts that Lies opinion was not sound.
 Spanish Case Focused
 Most of the informal discussions among Council members were con- centrated on the spanish case with every prospect that the Australian Investigation motion would carry, although possibly with slight modi- fications.

It was the first expression of major opposition to any of the eight bills on the AsSembly's agenda. The Special Session is scheduled to get underway May 2, at the State Cap itol.

 Enclosed Is cash. check or money order equal to the whole, or one half, of the tax shown on the within tax bill of the undersigned, pur- ported to be levied on the Grand List of 1945. Due to the questioned validity of such list and of the tax itself. this payment is made invol- untarily and under protest. in order that any penalties which might arise from non-payment may be avoided, and on condition that this payment be credited only to such legal tax as may become due from the undersigned to the City of Wa tCrbuy on or after May 1. l046."
