United Nations, Oct. 14.

The Iranian vice-premier, Mr Hossein Fatemi, today flatly denied that the Iranian Prime Minis- ter, Dr Mohamed Mossadegh, would propose to the United Nations on Monday that an interna tional corporation be created to produce, refine and market Iranian oil.

Mr Fatemi told the United Press there were "no such plans afoot." He added that the Iranian engineer Abbas Mazda, who reportedly engineered the plan, was "acting in a private capacity" and he denied that Dr Mossadegh had accepted Mr Mazda's plan.
