(5) . Col. Moghbeli, after handing oTer to x he new
divisional commander, left f or vhorr^rnabad and ""ehran on the
2nd October, He was helpful and pjolite during his term of
command and will be missed,
( 6 ) . Karim Fatemy, the nev/ly appointed head of the
department of .Education, arrived on the Sth October, just
in time for the annual distribution of diplomas and prizes
to the high school. This ceremony had been ordered by the
Ministry of Education, Tehran, at about three days notice:
previously it had taken place in February, It is thought
that one reason for this sudden change of date was the
celebration of the ancient Persian autumnal feast of Mehragan:
at any rat© that formed the subject of some of the orations.
The divisional commander distributed the prizes and diplomas
with a benevolent dignity, and songs, dances, and moral
talks by the school boys and girls evoked much applause.
In the front row sat th e soviet Consul, Persian heads of
departments, and H.M. Consul-General.

head of the Gendarmerie by a Col. Mohammad All Mir-Findiriski
Zavush is an excellent officer with a good record of service
beginning with the O.P.R. in-the last war, and he is very
disappointed at his sudden removal. He went to "Tehran to
see what could be done but Col. Sehvartzkcpf said personnel
matters were in the hands of a special* commit 4 *ee. It seems
that matters of detail at Gendarmerie headquarters are
settled by an inter or'" tor called Haddad.
