Dr. Mohammad M&y/abl as they ruled that a man under arrest 7/as
not qualified to appoint his successor. As Dr. Yesdi was at
the time Minister for Health and a Tudeh supporter he confirmed
officially' the appointment of Dr. Kahhari. During his
ever long tenure aa ”ead of the 3ihdari he had ruined the medical
services of the province and the majority of those serving under
him were glad of his removal. Vskili was only allowed to
return to his former post in Kerr.an after he had given the
fullest assurances to exclude politics from his duties and
disassociate himself from the Tudeh, which he did. He returned
to Kerman in his former capacity on the 12th December a dis­
illusioned and very subdued man.
