The Shah told a crowd of more than 14,000 peasants in Hamadan, western Iran, he had "ample evidence" foreign money entered the country to foment rioting. But he did not identify ' the source of the money. .. Anti government religious rioting earlier last week took 86 lives and injured 193 per sons in Tehran and other Iranian cities. Small groups staged new anti-government demonstrations in Tehran Sat urday but by nightfall police firing over their heads had restored an uneasy calm. The Shah spoke at ceremon ies marking the transfer of land to peasants under his land reform measures which triggered the present rioting. He accused the Moslem mul lahs ' (religious leaders) of wanting to "see people be come slaves again rather than free men working their own land.' "In this space age," the Shah said, "they want you to return to riding donkeys rather tnan buses." The Shah bluntly warned the Mullahs they had no right to "call themselves true faith ful since their antiquated alien thoughts did not repre sent the ideals of Islam or wishes of God." In Tehran, Premier Assadol lah Alam's office Saturday night denied reports the Shah personally issued "shoot-to-kill" orders to his troops if demonstrators failed to dis perse during the recent rioting.

"Need for this project has been recognized by the bur-:-au of reclamation, the state water resources board and the district's directors for the past eight years," a district spokesman said. "The project was authorized by congress in 1961 and funds were In cluded in the president's bud get for the 1964 fiscal year. Favorable action by congress to appropriate these funds is dependent upon the project approval by the district's voters." Absentee Ballots Those entitled lo vote on the proposed repayment con tract are those with a two acre or larger ownership tract assessed In the district. If sev eral ownerships arc involved in one tract, one person rep resenting not less than a half Interest may cast the vote for that tract Bnd no other per son may vote A corporation may act through any duly authorized officer.

"No recreation facilities will be constructed until there is an administering agency," a spokesman said. "Jackson county officials have been contacted informal ly and an agreement is ex pected." Water Supply The reservoir would have a capacity of 4,600 acre feet and would provide a water supply for about 1.810 acres of new land plus supplement al water to existing lands within the district. Benefits to water users are listed as: 1. Present water delivery time between Fish lake and the district's lands is approxi mately three days. Agate project will reduce this to 24 hour service. 2. The dam and reservoir will conserve water through re regulation, particularly during drier years. Reduce Costs 3. Agate will provide more efficient use of the district's canal system and reduce the pcr-acre operation and main tenance costs. 4.
