X. LQC^iL rOLITICAL SITUATION,
The Teheri and Jalili party had for a long time
dominated local affairs but soon after the transfer of Aqai Ahmad
Sadri, the Farmandr, who owed his long tenure to this party
local influence and prestige quickly passed into the hands of the
Tudeh Tarty who grew powerful within a very short period, Mohammad
Hussain Nawab and Syed Fazeli who were oponents of the Teheri-
Jalili party helped the Tudeh in an attempt to eradicate the
influence of that once powerful Party and succeeded, Millworkers,
weavers and agriculturists etc, joined their ranks in large
numbers and the udeh Party literally administered the affairs of
the town and villages.
Towards the middle of the year when the Prime Minister
announced the formation of the Iran Democrat Party under his
guidance, the Tudeh were gradually weakened and deprived of official
support and finally at the end of the year all further activities
of theirs were suppressed. Prominent supporters of the Tudeh went
over to the Democrat Party when they found the influence of the
former waning* Amongst these were Mohammad Hussain Nawab, and
3yed Fazeli, both of whom received the support from Tehran of
Moosavizadeh and Hairizadeh who are reported to enjoy the favour
of the Prime Minister# To increase the membership of the
Democrat Party, government servants ?/ere invited officially to
join its ranks and the Party has noY^ completely eclipsed the
Tudeh,
During the height of the power of the Tudeh Party
they disrupted the public life and successfully extorted money
under threats of violence from the wealthy many of whom
sought sanctuary elsev/here. Though they are in eclipse no?/ it is
possible that • they will emerge again as soon as opportunity offers.
Though the Democrats are in power now it is thought
that they are not sufficiently well organised to meet future
opposition if the Qawam falls from office. Meanwhile the Tahiri-
Jaiili partyfwhom the Government are opposed, remain in the back-
-ground.
