Bu;:hire Intelligence STxmmary No, 12 for the period
1st to 15th July, 1943. J ^

SfCa.
I. MOVEMENTS .
(a) B ritish Officials.
Captain J.B. Howes, His Majesty's Consul, Bushire. returned
from his tour by launch to Asalu (a ctastal village about 200
mile - south of Bushire, where sn emergency aerodrome is to be
consb.*ucted) on July 3rd.
(b) Alli ed o ffi cials . ^h.1
( c ’ Per sian officials .
(i) Lieut. Mulki, who .had been sent to Lar, has secured
his return to Lingeh as Officer Commanding Gendarmerie, after
some alight personal outlay. Lieut. Pashai has been posted to
Bandar Mugam.
(ii) The transfer of Aqai Amidi, Port Officer, Bushire,
has at last been secured by this Consulate General. Aqai Suhai,
a former officer of the Persian Navy, has been appointed inhis
place. Aqai Amidi has consistently aided and abetted the pilferage
of war cargoes, and it is unfortunate that it should not have
been possible to secure from the Persian Government earlier
action on reports to this effect.
(iii) Dr. M. Hisabi, C uernor of Bushire, has applied
for one month's 3 - v e owing co ill health. Aqai Dashti,
President of the Chamber of Coramer$e, promptly telegraphed to
Bushire’s Deputy in the Majlis, Aqai Safavi, asking him to
have Sarhang Jahid, Chief of Police, appointed as acting Governor.
Aqai Dashti’s interest in the matter is probably not unconnected
with his hopes of ejection as a deputy in the next Majlis.
II. LOCAL AFFAIRS .
(a) A slight coolness has been caused between the Chiefof
Gendarmerie and the Chief of Police as the former suggested to
his superiors in Shiraz that so long as a Gendarmerie garrison
is maintained in Ganawah there is no reason to keep any police
at that port or Bandar Rig. The proposal was apparently
sanctioned without consulting the Chief of Police, Bushire, -
who has taken the slight somewhat to heart.
(b) Thu newly purchased electric plant has arrived from
Khorramshahr. The Company hope to supply electric current to
the town within one month's time 5 but are at present repairing
the icc plant, which is due to operate next week.
III. C OMMUNICATIONS .
L and . The Bushire-Shiraz road, which was closed by Army
orders on July 6 th, owing to the Persian Army's reverse near
Semirun, was re-opened on July 15th. Lease/lend convoys were,
however, still held up at the close of the period under report.
(b) Two local landlords of Lingeh, Ismail Sa'adi and
Amineh bint Hasan Omani, were attacked by a gang of 27 men out
side the town and robbed of jewels and luggage to the valueof
4000
tomans
10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value.
. Afterwards they were compelled to drive the robbers
into the hills 1 .., their car. The Governor of Lingeh has
telegraphed to the Minister of Interior for sanction to engage
40 riflemen, and to issue arms to the people for their own
protection. A week later, it was reported that the thieves
had actually entered the town and captured the fort. They were,
however, evicted by the Gendarmexin^
