expressing my personal thoughts
on the course properly to be pur-
sued"
If the committee holds the DEM
ocratS' StevenSon-Sparkman tick
ct unacceptable to Virginia party
members, it has the right to re-
call the convention. The conven-
ton could then consider the sub
ject and nominate candidates and
electors of its own if it desired to.
Four Virginia members of Con-
gress have Endorsed the national
party ticket-Senator Robertson

Iranian Legislators
Ask Mu|Iah 10 Serve
AS Speaker Of House

TEHERAN, Iran, Aug. g.
1ranian lawmakers decided today
to ask Ayatullah Kashani, Trans
most powerful religious leader, to
become speaker Of the Mails
dover house,.
The decision to ask the grim old
mullah to replace DR.. Hassan
mami-anti-governmeent speaker
who left for Geneva last week
was made at a closed parliament
session.
A deputy told newsmen parlia-
ment would send a delegation to
Kashani's house outside Teheran
today to put the offer to him.
Elected in Exile.
KaShani-who was elected q
deputy while in exile in 1850 but
refused to take his seat-jumped
into the political arena during
the recent crisis which depoSed
Ahmed Cavan as premier and sent
him into hiding. The mullah threw
the weight of his great religious
following behind Mohammed Mos
sadegh and played a key role in
getting Mossadegh returned to
power as premier.
The position Of Imami, elected
speaker last month by anti
Mossadegh forces, became un-
tenable after Mossadegh vaulted
back to power. There has been
no official announcement of
Imami'S quitting, but reports have
persisted that he left letter of
resignation.
Meanwhile, reliable sources said
Qavam has sent a letter to a
