Leader in Religion
Elected Speaker Of
Iran S Lower House
BY the Associated Press

TEHERAN, Iran, Aug. 7.-Aya-
tullah Kashani, Trans most
powerful religious leader. was
elected speaker of Parliament's
lower house (Majlis) today, forg-
ing the final link Of Nationalist
control over the legislative body.
The old mullah (priest) replaces
DR.. Hassan Imami, an anti-Na-
tionalist. who left for Geneva last
week.
Kashani received ~ votes. A
Nationalist deputy Abdullah
Mozanni. received 10 votes. One
vote was cast for another candi-
date and four deputies abstained.
May Select Deputy.
There was speculation. whether
Kashani will function in the new
post, which solidif1es his position
as one of the strong men behind
Premier Mohammed Mossadegh's
government. 1t was believed he
might delegate the duties to the
deputy speaker, also a Mossadegh
man.
Kashani was elected a deputy
while in exile in 1850, but refused
to take his seat. He jumped into
the political arena during the re-
cent crisis which toppled Ahmed
Qavam as Premier and sent him
into hiding. The mullah threw
the weight of his great religious
following behind Mossadegh and
played q key role in getting the
latter returned to power.
Heavy Taxes Proposed.
| Premier Mossadegh put before
his cabinet last night a plan for
sweeping new taxes to replace rev.
enules lost through nationalist
ton Of the Iranian oil industry.
Informants said unofficially that
the Premier will impose an annual
2 per cent tax on all land holdings,

upper class. One source close to
the government predicted the new
levy would bring in at least $3.50
million yearly-slightly more than

Maryland plans In the next few
days to issue an embargo against
shipment of hogs from States
where the dangerous hog disease,
vascular exanthema, has APP
peared.
The order is expected to follow
the outline Of that issued in Vir-
GINA last month. Since July as,
Virginia has banned shipment Of
hogs to its So markets from
States reporting the disease.
DR.. A. l.. Brueckner, secretary
Of the Maryland State Agriculture
Board. said he has prepared the
Maryland order and that it is
awaiting formal clearance by the
entire board. He predicted the
order would be approved and is
sued within a few days.
Virginia Has Outbreak.
In Virginia, meanwhile. q case
of the hog malady was diagnosed
over the week end at the j. Lynn
Cornwell, Inc, slaughter house at
Purcellville.
Hogs there came down with the
disease after being kept in the
same pens that had been occu-
pied earlier by infected New Jer-
sey hogs. State veterinarians said
the New Jersey hogs were shipped
into Virginia because Of a con-
fusion among New Jersey veteri-
narians over whether the infec-
ton existed in their area.
In addition to clamping a quar-
antine on the Purcellville plant
and disinfecting it. State officials
Continued q hog sale ban at the
Leesburg market and posted
veterinarians at Manassas, Win
chester. Marshall and Woodstock
DR.. w. L. Bendix, State veter-
marian, called for more positive
action by the Federal Government
and other States to stop the ship
|ment of VE-infected hogs. An cpl
demic of the disease has already
caused an embargo on shipments
of live hogs from the huge Chicago
market.
The We virus spreads from ami
NAL to animal through contact
and also through infected pens,
trucks or even on shoes contain
ing infected material.
Similar to Cattle Illness.
DR.. Bendix said the New Jersey
hogs had already been killed and
dressed before it was found they
were infected. They hadn't looked
sick when they arrived and the
first sign Of Infection was the
breakout of the disease among the
local hogs that occupied the same
pens.
