Ohio Geologist Foresees Iron Mining Growth in State
Ohio state geologist Wilbur Stout told the Strip Mining Commission that iron ore could be mined in Ohio within six to seven years as the steel industry shifts away from Lake Superior supplies. He urged land valuation for farming timber and water before deciding on treatment of disturbed spots and noted southern Ohio may have lower farm value. Stout cited large coal and clay deposits in Jackson and Vinton counties and estimated placer iron ore could yield about 10,000 per acre, stressing the need to dig more to sustain Ohio industry.

Fear Law Favored in Test Vote Too Stringent As Modification Is Demanded
In Washington Republicans split over the House’s strike control bill with a 258 to 114 vote for immediate action on Rep Case’s measure. Some GOP members urged changes to curb injunctions against unions and deny rights to those using picketing or boycotts. Civil service examinations in Columbus set for March 30 for 350 jobs, mostly for women, funded by Social Security. The state plans a second exam in May and another in June. White House aides propose a new plan to end the steel strike, but seizure remains off the table. Senate Republicans press to curb the FEPC filibuster, seeking to limit debate by week’s end.
