...windshield and his truck crashed outside Allentown, Pa. In Ohio, authorities reported water streaming from the radiators of at least ten rigs, which had been punctured by gunfire; one driver was shot in the shoulder and hospitalized. In New Jersey, independents picketed gasoline terminals owned by Hess, Amoco and Chevron, trying to prevent shipments to service stations. State police escorted trucks through strife-torn areas outside Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Akron, Youngstown and Warren, Ohio. At week's end Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor Ernest P.

Californians promptly began a grass-roots boycott of Standard's Chevron gas stations. A group of 30 pickets, including several Jews for Jesus, marched outside Standard's San Francisco headquarters; some advocated burning Chevron credit cards.
