The premier is expected to quit and then form a new govern ment because two left-wing parties in his four-party coalition have refused to live up to a 1957 pledge to support all cabinet deci sions or resign. The left-wing Achduth Avodah and Mapam parties refused again Tuesday to withdraw their oppo sition to the government's agree ment to sell 250.000 grenade throw ers to West Germany. They also refused to resign from the govern ment. Bcn-Gurion apparently was hold ing up his resignation until parlia mentary endorsement of the arms deal, expected in a vote today. After his resignation, Ben-Gur-Inn will be asked by the president to (orm a new government be cause his Mapai t Labor) party is the largest in Parliament. If he cannot put together a majority coalition, he is expected to form a caretaker government to run the country , until election of a new Parliament in November.

The count increased Tuesday when James R. Smith of Savan nah, 20, died of burns that cov ered 80 per cent of his body. His wife. Marjorie, was in grave con dition in a hospital. Their chil dren, Wayne, 3, and Timothy, 1, died earlier. The explosion occurred at a rec reational area near Meldrim.
