At GftAHAM AVI. KOOKUTN I Borough President James A. Burke of Queens, warning that hts borough fares a shortage of up to 400,000 tons of coal by March 21, today appealed directly to the Solid Fuels Administration in Washington for relief for thousands of families whose health Is gravely imperiled In a letter to C.

J. Potter, deputy 6FA administrator. Burke outlined conditions in Queens and asked that action be taken to plug loopholes in existing regulations which permit mine operators and wholesale representatives to cut supplies to dealers almost at will. The. fuel situation in the rest of the metropolitan area appeared no better, as several of the city's emergency cash-and-carrv coal dumps closed down for lack of i coal to sell and city officials and dealers prepared to meet to work out a plan for keeping the dumps auppiied.

Situation to Stay Tough Edwin A. Salmon, city fuel administrator, after conferring with dealers and their representatives, cautioned that, the coal situation "will be darn tough for the rest, of the and told consumers they would have to accept whatever coal may be available, whether It be anthracite or bituminous. Burke said he had been stirred by 8 flood of letters from Queen residents some of whom have been without heat for "extended periods." and suggested a conference with Potter might help.

A substantial part of his letter was devoted to the plight of so-called "orphan" customers, whose previous sources of fuel have been cut off and whose demands on local oeaiers are malting tne shortage worse. The "orphans," Burke explained Include consumers who formerly bought coal from Brooklyn, Manhattan and Bronx dealers, now prohibited by Office of Defense Transportation restrictions from delivering Queens: thousands who converted from oil to coal; others who formerly used coke, now scarcer than coal, and hundreds whose dealers formerly received coal trucked directly from the mines. "No adequate amount of coal has been made available to the Queens dealers to take care of these orphaned customers," Burke told Potter. "The situation is desperate and brooks no delay. Queens is en titled to and must have additional quotas oi coai to avert an imminent crisis." Nearly 100 tenants of an apartment, house at 25 Tennis Court in Brooklyn refused today to end their "rent strike" until they receive regular heat and hot water supplies.

The tenants met yesterday at 32 Court St. with a legal representative of Samuel Fisher of 45 Mar-tense owner of the building, who claimed the absence of heat re-fttlted from the coal shortage. He said he could not obtain sufficient anthracite to keep the heating system operating normally. Tenants charged they had made a similar complaint about inadequate heat, last year, before the fuel situation became acute. New Cave-in Dims Rescue Hope for Child in Chasm Pittston.
