In Columbus Governor Rhodes called coal leaders and mine union officials to his office to explore a settlement of the 81 day old Ohio strike. Senate panel deferred action on urging use of federal power to protect coal shipments as utilities warn of potential curtailment. PUCO ordered firms to prove fuel shortages justify any power curtailment with four weeks of deliveries and unit capability data.
