Ohio Edison tells PUCO it plans to file in early April for a 125 million dollar rate increase affecting all utility customers. The company notes per share earnings have fallen sharply since last year and cites severe financial strain, aiming for emergency approval of about half the amount while considering a separate 35 million annual revenue increase recently authorized. The spokesmen warn if rates rise, they must align with inflation and wage guidelines, with timing uncertain until early 1980.
