Yesterday, however, it was learned that the Safety Board does not have to consult- the Council pn purchases. The Board can buy what it pleases without consulting anybody, provided it stays within its budget, according to an opinion from the City Legal Department. v ‘Moreover, the Safety Eoarcd does not have to advertise Zor bids in making a purchase, the Legal Department has ruled. It has a free hand. Safety Board President Keach said these rulings are not. new. They were given by Corporaticn Counsel Edward H. Knight several months ago. Mr. Keach was asked why, in view of the rulings, he contined to advertise for bids and put in long hours seeking Counciimanic approval for purchases as the other department heads do. “I don’t know,” he saicl. “Perhaps it’s better policy. And we're going to continue the same way.”

Not Much Smoke

CGleorge Popp, City Building Commissioner, thinks Indiarapolis has escaped smoke pretty well this winter. There hasn’t heeri so much smoke mixed in with winter fogs as in former years, he believes. And he thinks this has been due in part to the Cemmission’s efforts toward inducing property owners to repair faulty heating equipment. Eut the City now has only one smoke inspector and that is not encugh to enforce the anti-smoke ordinance, Mr. Popp told the Safety Board yesterday. He asked for two policemen to act as stnoke observers. Mr. Popp’s request was held up because of the absence of Police Chief Michael JF. Morrissey. It wasn’t generally known, but the Chief was invited to Washington to asi st authorities in policing for the ingaguwralion of Presiderit Roosevelt.

[FEDERAL CHECK

Law Requiring Inspection by U. S. Appears to Have Chance in Congress.

By FRED W. PERKINS Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—A law requiring Federal inspection of coal mines, for which the United Mine

Workers have been campaigning several ‘years, is believed to have better than an even chance of enactment in this session of Congress. Its approval at the White . Mouse is assured, since President Roosevelt indorsed the principle of the legislation just before election. The bill passed the Senate last year, and in the House nearly half of the membership signed a petition to squeeze it out of the Mines and Mining Committee.

Agree to Changes

The favorable outlook for the bill is brightened by changes agreed to by Thomas Kennedy, secretarytreasurer of the Miners’ Union and former Lieutenant-Governor of Pennsylvania. One of them is in-

Claims Army Pays $30 for Hymnals

WASHINGTON, Jan, 22 (U. P.). —Hymn books at $30 apiece—that is what Rep. E. E. Cox (D. Ga.) charges the Army paid for some hymnals. During a House Naval Affairs Committee meeting, Rep. Cox said information had reached him of “perfectly shocking” expenditures by the Army for equipment. “They have bough’ $5,500,000 worth. of mosquito Bars, which seems enough to enclose every individual in the world,” he said. “They paid $30 apiece for hymn books, I understand, and ordered

tended to propitiate state mining departments which have feared the Federal Government would take over their’ functions. A new section provides that the Federal inspectors must report their activities and give notice of proposed inspections to the state agencies. State inspectors must be given opportunity to accompany the Federal men in their underground tours. No Federal inspection may be in violation of any state law.

States Keep “Police Power”

The “police power” to enforce safety recommendations is left with the states. The benefit hoped for by the bill’s backers is that publicity for the Federal findings and recommendations will force a higher standard of efficiency in state inspection systems, on which they blame some of the numerous mine disasters of 1940.
