of the area. There is, however, no post for a regular
official of the Ministry of Interior and any unofficial
Sarparast must of necessity be a member of one of the
leading families of the tribe and consequently a friend of
either ASGxiAH idiAJ or of K£nIM ArUJ. 60 far the only name
proposed for the appointment is that of HUSoiilh ^Zlhl IaVaH,
an elderly and respected tribal leader who has considerable
estates at and is tnerefore unlikely to descend, like
iChxiIM KHAi'I, to doubtful means of enriching nimself at the
expense of the tribe.
14. It has also been prooosed that
SIRDAR
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
NASIR,
brother of Dr KERIM KHAN SINJABI and father of ASGHAR KHAN
(see preceding para.) should be allowed to return to the
tribe from Kazvin where he has been living since Resa Shah
expelled him from these parts. The acting O.C. Troops
approves of his proposed return but the Governor-General
disapproves.
15. From Kurdistan there was practically no news
of the military operations against Mahmud Khan DIZLI, Hassan
Khan REZABI and Mahmud Khan KANI SANANI. although Persian
Army circles professed to regard the campaign as practically
at an end, Brigadier FAZLULLaH HUMAYUNI (September Diary,
paras. 10 & 15) showed notable reluctance to take over
command from Brigadier HUSHMAND ^FSHixR and showed considerable
concern about -the situation ixO nis talk with General Lochner
(see para. 26 below).
16. On the evening of October 7th there was a hold
up on the main Kermanshah/Sanandaj rT^gd at F^Q-i-SUL^IM aN
in the course of which one man (the brother-in-law of the
Persian Director of Finance at Kermanshah) was killed and
another wounded and the personal and household effecta of
Brigadier Humayuni were all stolen. Fortunately his family
had passed the spot in another vehicle a short time before.
The Gendarmerie took immediate steps to follow up the
brigands but up to the time of writing there is no news
that they have been traced or the stolen goods recovered.
It is thought that the robbers may have been either KULIAI
or JAVixNRUDI tribesmen.
'POLITICAL*,
17. There was little political activity in Kermanshah
during October. The postponement of the Majlis elections
till after the departure of the Allied troops from Iran
temporarily put a damper on the activities of the numerous
would-be candidates for the four seats of which Kermanshah
disposes.
18. The Kermanshah branch of the Tudeh Party, whose
membership after the abortive strike at the Kermanshah
Petroleum Comapny had fallen to fifteen or tv/enty persons,
showed signs of coming to life again during October, v/hen
it was reported that its membership had reached 300 and that
the numbers attending its regular meetings were increasing,
largely through roping in unemployed workers whose services
had been dispensed with by the British ^rmy, the Kermanshah
Petroleum Company and the U.a.C.C. No public activities
were observed during tne month, however, though at the end
of the month they let it be known that they were.organising
a demonstration at Kermanshah for the occasion of the 23th
anniversary of the Red Revolution.
