who went to MiLitlVAh on July 21 st to take part in the campaign
against MAHMUD KrIA 1 KAx^I SANAJI, rlASoAN KHAN nEZAHI and
AAixuiUj iuiAN liXZHI (c.f. July uiary, para 20), returned to
Kermanshah at the end of October and resumed his command, Lt,
dolonel NAJI. who had been Chief of Staff and Acting Commander
here, left at the same time for Tehran on transfer. His
successor as Chief of Staff is Lt,-Colonel NASHULLAHI, who
used to be Chief of Staff a. ^^NuAJ and was as anti- British
and unhelpful as possible there.
9. Aqa ABUL HASSAx'i SEPEHH, Harmandar of ILAii (c.f.
September Diary, para 5), visited Kermanshah for a few days
about the 21 st October. According to local report he has been
taking bribes wholesale in Ilam but lost all his ill-gotten
gains by gambling during his visit here.
10. The Ministry of Interior has been trying hard to
get the Ustandar to accept KERIM KHAN DAUDIAN (Sardar Nusrat)
as Farmandar of QASR-i-SHIRTN in place of RIZA NURI (c.f.
September Diary, para 9). Tie is an uncle of ABBAS QUBADIAN,
Majlis Deputy for Kermanshah, who is pressing hard for the
appointment to be made. ABBAS QUBADIAN has already got his
brother KHUSRU QUBADIAN appointed Farmandar of SHAHABAD, much
against the Governor-General’s will and if KERIM KHAN DAUDIAN
is appointed to QASR it means that half the Ustan will become
to all intents and purposes the private domain of ABBAS
QUBADIAN. Up to the end of the month the Ustandar had succ
essfully resisted all attempts to foist KERIM KHAN DAUDIAN
upon him.
11 * Rr aBDUD HaMIjj zANGaNEH, Majlis ueputy, arrived
in Kermanshah on October 3rd ana stayed until the 14th. He
was visiting his relative ^.iviln-i-KULD, former wovernor-General
ot Kermanshah, who has been very ill for the last two months.
Dr zANGANEH was most careful to explain to persons he met
that although he was a member of the Majlis minority he was
emphatically not a member or supporter of the Tudeh party.
TRIiHiL:
12. The tension in the RA^iHUr (BAVANDPUR) tribe between
the QUBADIAN and the A’ZAMI factions has continued throughout
the month though again there has been no open breach. The
A’ZAMIS. however, appear to hatfe lost ground on the whole and
one of their relations, Aqa SARHADDAR, who went to Tehran to
try and arrange terms for them, was arrested there by the orders
of the Persian General Staff. At the end of the month he
had been released thanks to the intervention of the British
Embassy but not allowed to return to Kermanshah. Half-hearted
attempts at^disarmamnnt continued throughout the month but
the QUBADIANS showed no disposition to give up their own and
their friends* arms voluntarily and the Governor-General was
able^ to frustrate most of their efforts to disposses the
A'ZAMIS of their arms under the pretence of disarmament.
12. In the SINJABI tribe the position continues un*
satisfactory. KERIM KHAN BARxiHURDARI, the Bakhshdar who was
installed (largely at the^instance of the British authorities)
as Bakhshdar_in place of ASGHxR KHAN SINJABI has been suspended
from his duties while the accusation of having sold Persian
Government rifles (c.f. July Diary, para 16) is under inves-
1 * tigalian by the Military Court and the acting O.C. Troops,
who is a friend of AGaHAR KuaN has beenjjto put in a military
officer as Tribal Security Officer. The uovernor-General,
however, is resisting this attempt, preferring to have a
civilian Sarparast rather t?ar a military officer in charge
/of the
