He declared:'. ‘‘The leadership in Iran, alone in the world, has succeeded in turning criticism into an instrument of progress.” Hoveyda said the success of the system was clear from United Nations figures which showed that in’ 15 years Iran had moved from the 15th-poorest ta the 15th- richest country in the world.

CHANGED VIEWS _ The 58-year-old monarch once said a one-party system could create communism or fascism and strongly defended a multi- party.system for Iran. He changed his mind and abolished the multi-party system, perhaps reflectin his disillusionment wit having too many groups doing work which a single organized party, might do more quickly. Hoveyda stressed in his recent speech that the thing expected of the people is more work and more effort. “The loss of a day, an hour or a minute without benefit to the country is treason against Iran.” In his carefully worded letter, Kbhajenouri expressed the belief that Iranians are by nature in- dividualistic and had little talent for group activity. It was not easy to determine the people's true feelings and attitudes toward the party, he said, because the people in general were reluctant to express their views. . not speak or, if they do, do not’ speak the truth,” he said, adh that he believes a great many people s have doubts abort the party and its usefulness. LAUDS SELF-CRITICISM Replying, Amouzegar said other parties had failed because, unlike Rastakhiz, they did not ernbrace all the people. He agreed constructive criticism is necessary if stagnation and corruption are to be avoided. But he said such criticism now comes. from within Rastakhiz. Western observers interpreted the debate as evidence . of a continuing ‘Tiberalizing” trrend and a gesture toward human rights campaigners in the West who have criticized Iran. The debate followed a rare public trial before a military court of 11. people, most of them United States university graduates, on charges of anti-state activities and association: with the revolutionary win of Iran’s outlawed Tud (Communist) party. The 10 men and one woman pleaded guilty and were sentenced to lengthy prison terms, which were drastically reduced by an appeals military court later. It is widely expected that the shah will soon pardon em. “Tips On Caring For Crystal Home . economists recom- mend the following method to keep crystal sparkling: sonk your fine crystal in a very mild solution of-vinegar and warm water to which a few grains of . rice have been added.
