Sa rhang Khadiwi was Officer Commanding Gon-
-da merle, Kern an, until tho 18th June when Sarhang Haasan
Goodarzi took over charge from him.
Until Kay the Gendarmerie district of tho 8th
Usta n included regiments posted at Khwash and Zabul. In
June Tehran issuod instructions that owing to tho great dis-
-tance from Kerman of the posts they were in future to ba
undor tho independent control of soparate conmiandors directly
responsible to Tehran. The post of Officer Commanding Gen-
-darmerie, Qth Ustan, was accordingly abolished.

Sa rhang Khadiwi, was regarded as a thoroughly
corrupt official and his departure was not regretted.
Sarhang Goodarzi accompanied the G.O.C. several,
times to Sirjan during the operations against Murad All Murad
in the middle of the year and since his appointment relations
between the Military authorities and the Gendarmerie appear to
have improved somewhat. Ho is an extreme ;y cooperative and
friendly officer.
(n) ICiurshld Mills.
The Khurshid Spinning Mills were able to obtain
adequate supplies of cotton during the year. But as the two
power-generating motors of the mills have been out of coimiss-
-ion for some time for want of spare parts etc. of 4234 spin-
-dles 1664 were idle and the local Electric Supply Company
wore unable to give them all the current they needed. Apart
from cotton spinning, the Mills are producing certain kinds
of hand-woven cloth for which there is an increasing demand.
Foriteriy large quantities of hand-woven cloth, were imported
from Tend but tho Khurshid Liills are mow confident of being
a bie to meet the entire demand themselves. The management
alre prying to obtain from America cotton ana woollen weaving,
spinning a ni dyeing machinery which they expect will be ob-
-tainable in 1937/
The Company has 48,438 shares of Rials 600/-
each. The present value of each share fluctuates between
Rials 1,200/- a Rd Rials 1,300/-. It is expected that divi­
