TEHERAN, Sept. ≈ (Reuter)-At an ordinary session of the Medless (Parliament), the Prime Minister Mr. Farughi intermed the Deputies that conversations are proceeding satisfactorily and that the situation was becoming clearer. He hoped that matters would be settled in a day or two.

Referring to various rumours circulating in Teheran, the Prime Minister said that he regretted that the people were in such a nervous state that some were even quitting the capital, and he assured the House that there was absolutely no danger to the population, the Government or anybody else.
