Tehran Students Riot Over Mossadegh Trial
Tehran, Iran—(U.P.)—Troops and riot police today fired into mobs of rioting students who swarmed through Tehran's streets protesting the treason trial of ousted Premier Mohammed Mossadegh.
One student was reported killed and another wounded by the gunfire.
Police said the shots were fired when Tudeh (Commist) party students of Tehran University attempted to organize a street parade.
The student who was reported killed was said to have been shot in the stomach. The wounded student struck in the leg by a rifle bullet.
The government took vigorous measures to prevent rioting mobs from attempting to carry the trial of the aged premier to the streets.
Until today the city had beer tense but quiet as Mossadeggh threw the five-man military court into repeated disorder with his tears, fainting spells, shouted arguments to the police and bound himself to hear him angry denunciations of his own court-appointed defense attorney.
Tanks and troops had been stationed at all principal street intersections since last night when Communists circulated pamphlets demanding a halt to the trial and describing Mossadegh as the "legal premier."
Today's gunfire exploded near the Tehran University when students attempted to form a pro-Mossadgeh parade and lead it through the streets where only three months ago the people revolted against Mossadgeh's leadership.
The military governor had issued orders to troops and police to put down any disorders with force, including bullets, if necessary.
As the fifth day of the trial opened, Mossadegh resumed his tactics of wrangling with the five-member military court trying him for attempting to overthrow Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi and inciting riots.
