(b) Persian Officials,
(i) Aqai Bakhtari left for Tehran on the 17th November. His
transfer to Tehran was unofficially represented to him by one of
his colleagues as being due to a "political change". It is hoped,
however, that this Residency's representations to His Majesty's
Legation had^some influence in the matter.
Aqai Abbas Ali Salahshur has been appointed Acting
Director of Posts and Telegraphs.

not o-r-y this out before h< was recalled to Shiraz by the
Govern -General, During his visit to Bushire, he discussed
secur? y matters with the P sident's Secretary.

has been increased to 15 other ranks.
# (iii) General Connolly and Colonel Shingler of the U.S.Army
visited Bushire by plane on November 16th.
II. LOCAL AFFAIRS.
(a) The staff of the Post Office and Economic Departments
left their offices on the 24th November and rushed the bakery
shops for bread. This was an intrigue against the Acting
Governor, who has appointed an unpopular’man in charge of the
Bazaar control.
(b) The present supply of wheat in Bushire is not sufficient
to feed even the town itself till next harvest, to say nothing
the dependent districts. The v/heat supply brought by the
S 3. Empire Zeal in August has been depleted by orders from the
m "tral Ministry of Foodstuffs for the despatch of consignments
to other Gulf ports.
