Long List Of Accusations

MAKES ALLEGED CONFESSION

Teheran, Oct. 4.

The former Prime Minister Dr Mohammed Mossadegh was today formally charged with dis- obeying the Shah's order of dismissal and with dissolving Parliament.

If found guilty the penalty is hanging. Dr Mossadegh has been under arrest since his regime was overthrown in August.

The charges, drawn up by the Army pro- secutor after 12 days of "investigation" of Mossadegh, said the Mossadegh's Government policy, "based on weakening the constitution and weakening the people's belief in the Islam religion," led the Shah to issue a decree dismissing the Pre- mier.

The charge sheet said Massadegh confirmed re- ceipt of the decree which was delivered to him at his Teheran home early on the morning of August 16.

The charges said he refused" to obey the decree

and encouraged the people to arm and rise against the dynasty.

The result "was the murder of a large number of people." (It is estimated that 300 died in the rising which swept Mossadegh-out-of power on August 19.)
