The seat of power is not in the capital of Tehran, but in the Moslem holy city of Qom, 80 miles to the south. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini runs the show in Iran and doubtless will continue to do so, president or no. Qom is his home and headquar ters, and he rarely ventures away. The final authority to deal with any of Iran’s burgeoning problems — including the fete of 50 American hostages who Sunday begin their 12th week in captivity at the oc cupied U.S. Embassy — rests with the 79-year-old religious leader alone. Khomeini’s power is every bit as potent as that of the man he re placed, Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, who fled the country one year ago. All that has not deterred would- be office seekers. About the only qualifications a candidate needs are that he be Iranian and Moslem. At one point, the number of regis tered candidates was about 20 — prompting, in conspiracy-minded Iran, charges that the deluge of presidential aspirants was a CIA plot to undermine the whole political process. Most of the candidates decided — or were prevailed upon — to with draw, and by the time the balloting gets underway Jan. 25 there will be only about six left. The country is awash in posters plastered in almost every available spot — across shop windows, on buses and cars, over the faces of road signs with resulting automotive confusion. The leading candidate is Finance Minister Abol Hassan Bani-Sadr, and his No. 1 challenger appears to be Foreign Minister Sadegh Ghotbzadeh. Their posters are rapidly being slapped atop those of candidates who have fallen by the wayside. Both are relative moderates in the current Iranian scheme of things. and both have seized uponi Soviet invasion of Afghanist®] and what they perceive as a ing threat to Iran — as tlie campaign issue. The fear of a possible Soviet! sion of their own land is aveiyi thing to Iranians, who believt Russians at long last are their dream of access to warm- ports on the Indian Ocean.

Ex-diplomats James Cudney and Cleo Shook offered these views dur ing interviews: —The Kremlin moved forces into Afghanistan when it did because of fear that unrest among the Azer baijanis and Kurds would spill over into the Soviet Union. —The Afghans, like other Middle Asian peoples, are fiercely proud and independent and will resist the Soviets until a new, indoctrinated generation takes their place. —Between 15,000 and 20,000 Af ghans have been killed or impris oned in Marxist attempts to wipe out opposition. —There are 400,000 to 500,000 Afghan refugees, many of whom have purposely gone into Pakistan to arm themselves so they can go back and fight as guerrillas.

Sir Dick White, successively head of MI-5 and the Secret Intelligence Service between 1953-1969, told the Sunday Times newspaper, how ever, that acquasations against Lid dell were “grotesque.” Suspicions that Liddell was a Soviet “mole” were revived recently by Andrew Boyle, whose book “The Climate of Treason led to the pub lic unmasking of world-renowned art historian Anthony Blunt as a wartime Soviet agent. Boyle has said that a friend of Guy Burgess told him Liddell belonged to the same homosexual clique as Blunt and Burgess and, like them, was a Russian agent. Liddell was retired suddenly in 1953 during inquiries into the Burgess spy clique. He died in 1958. The Sunday Times said then- Prime Minister Harold Wilson was told by a security adviser t! former MI-5 deputy-directorl defected but that because of rity concerns was retired rattier! prosecuted. White told the Sunday Time! Liddell belonged to an intern patriotic family and said ‘Toll him a Soviet spy is a grotei charge. Accusing him may havejj sibly lieen a way of deflectin' cusations against others. Famed interrogator Willi Skardon, whose successes inch the breaking of the atom spy0 Fuchs, also defended Liddells tegrity. “Any suggestion that hem traitor is preposterous,” Stare told the Sunday Times. 'Then explanation I can find for these! picions about Guy Liddell is I there was a coterie of people which Burgess, Blunt and Lidi moved, leading to guilt by assd tion.
