Paul E. Tsongas.

Albert Rees, council director, notified Tsongas of the start of the probe by letter yesterday. "The price of bituminous coal has risen nearly SO per cent over the past two years. After careful consideration of Ihe questions and comments on coal prices, and your, specif ic request that we consider a coal price investigation, we aiiree that it is a subject that the council staff should analyze." Tsongas applauded the investigation because coal price increases which began to rise when the price of oil began to rocket during the Arab oil embargo, are reflected in consumer ulilit.y bills. Electric companies now use coal to generate electricity instead of oil. "These coal eomDanics.

manv owned bv manor oil companies have been charging exorbitant prices despite relatively small production cost' increases," Tsongas said. Coal prices to utilities have increased nearly 100 per cent in the past two years while company production costs have increased, by only per cent. "I would hope that this investigation would determine the reasons for price hikes and recom merul to the President that action be taken to guard against unjustified charges to utilities and consumers." Tsongas added. Disasters kill 19 in two South African mines JOHANNESBURG (Reuler) Nineteen miners are now known lo have died in two gold mine disasters near here yesterday.

Soviets intend to continue support for Gandhi NEW YORK TIMES MOSCOW Despite the fact that at least one Marxist politician was arreted in the Indian government's crackdown on opposition figures, Ihe Soviet Union apparently intends to continue supporting Prime Minister. Indira Ghandi in government' propaganda. zi The Soviet news agency Tass andi'other official government information outlets have reported the Indian crisis' in detail, including the text of Mrs. Ghandi's broadcast to the nation yesterday morning.

The Soviet media said, however, that "A number of right wing opposition parly leaders in India) were arrested' yesterday in accordance with the National Security Act." But Soviet reports failed to mention that kiists; including the Marxist Communist leader Jyolirmoy. J3osu, also had been arrested. The Soviet Union has provided a economic support to India over the years, and ihe foreign policies of the two nations are closely similar in many respects. In their reports yesterday, the Soviet media have referred only to plots against Mrs. Ghandi by opposition parties, without mentioning the fact that she had been convicted of corrupt election practices.
