...Shah with a chance to isolate the extremists. That would allow him to pursue his plan to hold free parliamentary elections next year. So far, however, the otherwise efficient Iranian regime has not been able to take advantage of its opportunities. The Shah's forward-looking Premier, Jamshid Amouzegar, had better luck coping with the problems of industrialization than negotiating with Shi'ite mullahs.

At the same time, the Southern nations refused to offer safeguards against nationalization of the North's investments. New York's Republican Senator Jacob Javits, who was in a group of congressional observers at the conference, chided the Southern nations for their rigidity and urged them to think in terms not only of government aid but also of investment, business...
...will meet on schedule Wednesday in the tiny Persian Gulf emirate of Qatar. As usual, their deliberations will probably be dominated by Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Ahmed Zaki Yamani, who will seek to keep the increase as low as possible, and Iran's Minister of State, Jamshid Amouzegar, who will argue for a boost of at least...
