Dan Bromley of Marriage knot difficult to untangle (c) 1976 Chicago Daily News CHICAGO-James Wolfe said that is he must, he will make a career out of ending his unhappy marriage. "I'll not stop until I win or I die, whichever comes first," he said bitterly. After his 64th court appearance, Wolfe found himself still legally married to the woman he has accused of cheating him into wedlock. Wolfe, 46, a- real estate broker, charged that his wife, Judith, had produced a phony death certificate for her first husband in order to marry him (Wolfe). The first husband, Thomas Haf fner, of Denver, is not only, living but testified against her during a jury trial last March.

The jury found her guilty of fraud and recommended the marriage annulled. Wolfe sought the an-. nullment because as a Roman Catholic he does not believe in divorce. However, Circuit Court Associate Judge Bernard Wolfe (no-relation) later -reversed the jury's" recommendation, saying fraud is not sufficient grounds for divorce. The judge now has 'reaffirmed his decision.

"I'm back wher I was," plaintiff Wolfe said, adding that he would appeal. Meanwhile, Wolfe said the 3-year-long case has ruined him financially and he does not know how much he owes in attorney's fees. "How can I make a living when I am practicing law here nine days a week?" he said outside the courtroom. His only consolation is that his wife, who now lives in Fremont, agreed to let their 10-year-old son spend the Thanksgiving holidays with him.

"It isn't our main thrust but I like it," said John Hardin, who this year-heads the league, which this year will make about 80 percent of all loans on single-family houses. "We need to work out something to help older people in our society whose only alternative is to sell' said Hardin, president of the First Federal Savings and Laon Association of Rock Hill, S.C. The new league president indicated, however, that the present regulatory climate would tend to inhibit development of the idea. He said the associations want flexibility to design mortgages to better fit the needs of borrowers but that the, mood of Congress, which oversees the work of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, limits them to fixed-term mortgages.

The associations also seek to experiment' with variable rate mortgages, with government-insured mortgages in "ring" neighborhoods on the edge of slums, and with mor-tages designed specifically for young home-buyers. Variable-rate mortgages are now offered by some state-chartered associations, in California especially, but not by federally chartered institutions. Rates under such plans rise and fall with money-market prices. CUSTOM PICTURE FRAMING Aggie Hardware Electric Co. 1205 Mora 6397761 ll w.
