Mossadegh Hints Iran May Submit Oil Squabble To A Court Settlement

TERRAIN, Iran, R - Premier Mohammed Mossadegh flatly re- jected last night the British Am erican offer to solve the Anglo Iranian oil squabble, but hinted Iran might agree to,a court settle ment of the muddled issue.
 Blasting the recent Truman Churchill proposal as the worst yet made in the dragged-Cut nego- tiations, Mossadegh told newsmen "the solution proposed in this message is not only altogether in- equitable, but more severe and impracticable than earlier pro- posals."
 Mossadegh's statement was an expansion of his off-the-cuff re- jection Aug. 30, when the joint offer was made. He has called a special parliamentary session Wednesday to frame a formal re- ply to Britain and the United States. Observers believe parlia- ment will echo the premier's $ stand.
 However, some quarters pinned hope negotiations might continue on Mossadegh's reference Ia fl night to court settlement. The premier said it was possible Iran and the Anglo-Iranian company could agree to submit the com pensation issue to mutually az reed upon court.
