In Columbus Ohio two 17 year old wards of the Ohio Youth Commission Michael Wagner of Cleveland and James Hardy of Bethel Clermont County were slated to be charged with arson for suspected roles in a fire at the Ohio State Fair Grounds that destroyed several buildings. Delinquency charges followed questioning of 40 youths at a detention camp on site.

Gov Gilligan supported rebuilding efforts and the fairgrounds seek emergency funds or a special appropriation.
