up into five routeS-with five
more mapS-and turned the
valuable information over to his
route manager. David figured it
would take at least five men to
cover the territory. He used a
motor scooter with a side car.
Each map shows in detail the
quickest route and he's even
pointed out to his successors the
best points to cross the street.
David's logical successor is his
brother. Donald, IL, who has
helped carry the load from time
to time. He'll handle one of the
five routes.
David is headed for a career
in architectural engineering and
wants a masters degree in the
subject. He designs houses on

Mossadegh Claims
His Trial by Army
Violates Own Decree
Bx,h. A..oelo,ed Press

TEHERAN, Nov. 11.-Ex-Dic-
tator M o h m m d Mossadegh
claimed today he has been hailed
before an Iranian military court
on treason charges in violation
Of his own decree.
The 73-year-old former pre-
mier-def1antly maintaining he
still holds that post-told the
f1ve-man army tribunal he had
barred military courts from try
ing civilians in a decree issued
under the special dictatorial
powers granted him last year by
the Mails dover house of par
Iiament).
Mossadegh, ousted by an
army-backed revolt last August,
is accused of defying Shah Mo-
hammed Reza Pahlevi, trying to
overthrow the monarchy and
illegally dissolving the mon
archy. The court is now con-
cerned with whether it has the
authority to try the aged ma
tionaliSt leader.
Mossadegh claimed yesterday
no court could try him until the
Malls through legislation nulli-
f1es the plenary powers given
him as premier. His court-ap-
pointed lawyer, Col. Jail Bo-
1orgmehr, contended Mossadegh
should be tried by Trans su-
preme court.
Even before that" Bozorg-
mehr added, "the Mails should
rule whether Mossadegh is still
Trans Prime Minister. Political
charges must be tried before a
civilian jury"
Under rules of procedure, an
Iranian court martial must first
establish it's right to judge a de-
fendant. If the court, headed by
Gen. Nasrollah Moghbeli, de-
cides it has Jurisdiction the in
dictment will be read and the
actual trial of Mossadegh will
proceed.
The emotional old politician
apparently decided to give up
fighting against Bozorgmehr's
counsel. The two sat shoulder
tc-shoulder at today's hearing
and several times Mossadegh
leaned over to whisper to the
lawyer. Yesterday MoSsadegh
reviled and punched the colonel,
saying, This man is not my law
yer"
Reading slowly from a brief
but wagging his finger at the
court chairman as he made his
points, Mossadegh declared: SAC
cording to my powers. was sup
posed to improve the law. While
improving it I dissolved army
