Oil embargo rationing set for Rhodesia drive to topple regime
The United States and allies back Britain's oil embargo on Rhodesia aimed at ousting Premier Tan Smith after independence. Rations begin at midnight, varying by vehicle size and renegotiation of gasoline per week. Diplomats, doctors, disabled individuals, school buses, and public utilities receive exemptions. The 3 to 5 gallon allotment supports typical home to work travel.
