Iran Senate Defies Mossadegh Dictatorial Powers Bid
In Tehran the Iranian Senate refused to grant Premier Mohammed Mossadegh dictatorial powers. A nine-member delegation was sent to query his demands.

The chamber approved, however, a measure to confiscate property of multi millionaire Ahmed Qavani after the July riots that followed Mossadegh’s return to power.
