Saudis Resist Plan to Hike Oil Prices at OPEC Meet
Algiers report says Saudi Arabia opposed a plan to raise the world oil bill, with OPEC ministers split as hawks push for higher prices while others seek stability. The proposal aimed to lift prices, potentially easing 7 cents a gallon in U.S. gasoline and heating oil costs amid tensions over Middle East events. Additionally, the Carter administration offered American medical treatment to two Palestinian mayors maimed in West Bank bombings, a move viewed as a potential gesture of support by the United States.
