Columbus - -- The head of the Ohio State Bar Association says he's worried by the tone that television ads in the campaign for two Ohio Supreme Court seats seem to be taking.

Bar association president Stephen Chappelear says a campaign monitoring committee of the association reviewed two such ads currently being shown across the state. It will announce results of the review at a news conference Monday.

A 700,000-dollar television ad campaign financed by trial lawyers and unions began airing Tuesday in support of the two Democratic candidates for the court, Timothy Black and Janet Burnside.

Two days later, an advocacy group bankrolled by A-T-and-T began a 230,000-dollar campaign critical of telephone rates and appearing to back the Republican candidates, incumbent Evelyn Stratton and Maureen O'Connor.
