Coal Commission
Scope Is
By JOHN LeBLANC @anadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP) — The federal
eabinet Thursday decided on the scope of a proposed royal com- mission on coal but did not settle the question of commission per- sonnel.
The royal commission is being set up primarily to recommend ways of propping up the dis- tressed Nova Scotia coal indus- try, but also\ will inquire into problems of the hard - pressed Western industry.
Establishment of the royal com- mission was forecast by the fed- eral government in July, and it was understood Thursday that the announcement of its setup is being delayed by inability to get personnel considered suitable to all parties.
Prime . Minister Diefenbaker has indicated it will be a one- man commission, in the interests of getting a fast job by a compe- tent man in the light of the emer- gency situation in Nova Scotia.
This has turned out to be a bigger order than expected.

4. What, in general terms, can governments do to support the coal industry.
