JERUSALEM <A>) _ Premier
Golda Meir is forming the first
minority government in Israeli
history, but it is assured of ma
jority support for its peace ne
gotiations with the Arabs. The
National Religious Party refused
to resume its traditional role of
junior partner to Mrs. Meir’s La
bor Alignment because she re
fused to tighten up religious re
quirements for Israeli citizenship.
But other parties promised the
75-year-old premier the support
of 66 votes on any matter con
cerning negotiations with the
Arabs.

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia <A>> _
Yugoslavia’s parliament is meet
ing today to adopt a new consti
tution that 81-year-old President
Tito hopes will hold the country
together after he is gone. The new
charter strengthens the role of
the Communist party as a guar
antee against nationalist separa
tism.
Long lines and short tempers
are adding up to violence at some
gasoline stations around the na
tion.
An Associated Press spot
check Wednesday showed scat
tered reports of arguments and
fist fights among motorists. There
have been assaults on station at
tendants as well as accidents,
some fatal, in several areas.
Weekends are the worst. “I
really don’t know what happen
ed,” said Charles Wood, an At
lanta, Ga., station attendant as he
described a series of fist fights

den, all hell broke loose.”
Wood said there were six sep
arate fights—ended by police who
made all the drivers get into line.
A service station owner in Gary,
Ind., was shot and killed Tuesday
night and a customer was wound
ed in an argument that began over
a spare tire.
Police said witnesses reported
that a man entered the station
from the wrong direction, by
passing a long line of cars wait
ing for gasoline. The motorist
asked to have a spare tire filled
and the station owner told him to
leave, resulting in an argument.
Both men pulled guns, witness
es said. The station owner was
killed and the customer was
wounded in the face and arm. No
charges were filed immediately,
but a police guard was placed at
the wounded man’s hospital room.
Robert Link, a gas station at
tendant in San Jose, Calif., told
police he was attacked by four
men and a woman who tried to
push to the head of the line. Link,
27, said he fended them off by
spraying them with gasoline.
Rationing plans have helped in
some areas. Honolulu authorities
said they had no reports of vio
lence since a mandatory odd^
