Last week the strategic, oil-rich realm of the Shah of Shahs, 29-year-old Mohamed Reza Pahlevi, had no government. The cabinet of deaf* old Ibrahim Hakimi had fallen two weeks before. Abdul Hussein Hajir (who has one glass eye) was named to succeed him. But last week a Teheran mob kept the Majlis from meeting to approve Hajir's cabinet. Said one English-speaking Persian politician: "There's an old proverb that 'a year can be judged by its spring.' Well, it looks as though there's going to be an early fall...
...Hamid Reza Pahlevi, the Shah of Persia's disappearing 16-year-old brother (TIME, July 7, Sept. 29), was at it again. A week after the student prince materialized in Hollywood (after vanishing from a Washington, D.C. school), he vanished again, this time with brother Mahmoud's Cadillac convertible.

Next day the Prince, who had already run away from one school in Beirut, another in Switzerland, alighted at Orly Airfield near Paris. Where next? The Persian Minister in Paris, who had promptly taken the Prince in hand, told the press: "It depends on his brother," and briskly pulled down the diplomatic curtain...
...prelude to election. Oxford-educated Mohamad Houssein Qashqai, one of the four Qashqai brothers who rule most of the southern tribesmen, thinks the army exists only to suppress tribesmen, fears ambitious officers may attempt a coup d'état. He said recently: "Since the days of Reza Shah,* every private thinks he can become a dictator." But the tribesmen concluded an uneasy truce with the central Government, surrendered a few beloved rifles as a token of good will. Only the Kurds in the north still refused to relinquish their arms, gave Gavam an excuse to say that election...
