Dr.

Mossadeq is accused ot having defied the Shah and of having tried to overthrow the regime. He faces the death sentence if found guilty. The trial opened yesterday. Dr. Mossadeq was arrested on August 20, after General Zahedi's coup.

The speech was the second part of his submission on the competence of the court to hear evidence and pass judgment. Under Persian Army law the first phase of his trial turns on this issue. If the court declares it is competent to deal with Dr.

Mossadeq the chief prosecutor will proceed to an Indictment. Attacks Britain Later, Dr. Mossadeq, still attacking Britain, said: "My rival (Britain) first tried to overthrow me in the Maills. "I was not afraid when he lost hope of defeating me In the Majlis and turned his attention to the Mullahs (Persian holy men and religious leaders). "The British didn't want to strip me of my property.

They wanted to kill me," he added. The president of the court warned him: "I hope your next speech be on the subject," but Dr. Mossadeq went on: "It Isn't a new thing for Persia to be under British Influence. It's been going on for 200 years." Meat Works for Review of Building The Government has appointed a panel of six men to revise Victoria's uniform building regulations.
