Mossadegh

Stokes Hold Conference

Teheran, Aug. 5..

Iran's aged and ill premier, Dr. Mohamed Mossadegh, conferred today with the British ne- gotiator, Mr Richard Stokes, and then went before his Parliament to hear shouts of "Death to Mos- sadegh the traitor.”

Despite the clamour touched off among extremiste by Iran's decision to enter oil negotiations with Britain, Dr Moasadegh appeared to have won smushing approval in the Majlis for his compromise. Parliamentary sources said he was supported by "an overwhelming majority of deputies, who authorised him to carry on talks."
