predicted that Aly, 46, the eldest son of the Aga would succeed to his father's position.
The choice of the 19-year-old Karim was an- nounced after a family conference here which he attended with his father and Aly's half-brother, Sadruddin.
In addition to Karim, Prince Aly has another son, 18-year-old Amyn, a Harvard student who was en route to Switzerland for the funeral of his grandfather who died yesterday at the age of 79. AGA'S WILL READ
Karim and Amyn are Prince Aly's sons by his first marriage to Joan Yarde-Buller, a union which husted 18 years. Aly also has a daughter, Princess Jasmin, by his marriage to actress Rita Hayworth. But there is no female line of succession in the Ismaili sect.
An announcement, given to reporters late tonight by the Aga Khan's secretary, read:
"Prince Karim Aga Khan, eldest son of the Aly Khan, has been nominated by the Aga Khan as his successor as Imam of the Shlah Moslem Ismaili Com. munity.
"The Aga Khan wrote in his will the following: In view of the fundamentally altered conditions in the world in very recent years due to the great changes which have, taken place, including dis- coveries of atomic science. I am convlaced that it is: in the best interests of the Shlali Moelem Ismail community that.I should be succeeded by a young man who has been brought up und developed during recent years and in the midst of the now age and who brings a new outlook on life to his office as Imám,"
Karim, born in October 1986, will be known Dg Aga Khan IV, it was reported.
ONE SMILING, ONE TENSE
Reuter reported that Aly Khan left the lakeside villa where the conference was held and where the Aga Khan died yesterday, after the reading of the will.
