No Modification Of Anglo-US Offer
Teheran, Sept. 2.
The Persian Premier, Dr Mohammed Mos- sadegh, was reported tonight to have conferred with financial and economic experts on the Truman-Churchill oil proposals.
At the same time Mr Kazem Hassibi, member of the Persian Mixed Oil Commission, who has many times in the past given the Government's views, made a statement in which he analysed in detail the Anglo-American offer.
He declared that acceptance of the offer would have meant revival of the 1933 oil agreement — which became null and void after nationalisation — providing for settlement of oil disputes between the parties by arbitration of The Hague International Court.

Thousands watching the Society of British Aircraft Constructors show were unaware of the faster than sound flight as Derry was too far away for the supersonic "bang" to be heard.
He began a divo eight miles above the carth and only his vapour trail could be seen. It was only after his fight was finished that the thousands watching the display, including the Dulce of Edinburgh, were told that he had exceeded the speed of sound.
