LAHEY KEPT BUSY
 WITH COMPLAINTS
Marshal Locates Many Fire Hazards, But Cannot
 Order Their Removal

Busy this morning was Fire Mar shal Dennis J, Lahey, Investigating number of complaints which have been prompted by the lacerating horror of the Boston blaze. Busy also are inspectors of the state liquor control commission who to- day began a statewide checkup to locate Ire hazards In the establish ments under their control,
 Marshal Lahey pointed out that any widely publicised fire brings a veritable shower of complaints Go his office and said he has done con siderable Investigating since the Cocoanut Grove debaclc. He be- moaned the fact that his authority Is restricted in such way that there are many instances when he can locate fire hazard, bn' has no Jurisdiction to order 1t removed, He recalled a futile fight in the General Assembly when he sought the nulliflcation of a regulation of the liquor commission requiring back doors of taverns to be fastened securely SO that they could not be opencd. This regulation, he as- serted, is the cause of one of our most dangerous fire traps.
 Meanwhile, vigilant inspectors of the state liquor commission have aet for themselves the task of in- specting some $500 tavernS, res- taurants, and hotels to check on exits, decorations and fire- fighting equipment.

DOWNS BILL TO
 TURN ON HEAT

Washington. Dec. l-(UP)-Con- gress takes up legislation tomorrow which would allow President Roose- welt to turn on the heat-literally by stripping the House and Sem ate chambers and offices of their conditioning equipment.
 The bill was introduced by Rep. Leroy Downs, D.. Conn.,, after it had been recommended by Mir. Roosevelt to promote @ more ef- fective utilization of government supplies and equipment both during and after the war" MT. Roosevelt said specifically that cooling sys- tems in government buildings were needed in war plants.
 Several members of both Houses agreed that relinquishing their summer comfort was a small sac- rifice to make for the war effort. They hastily pointed out, however, that the bill would give the presi- dent more power than they believe he needs.
 Senator Tom Connally, D.. Tex, declined to comment on the bill it. self but said Congress would never pass legislation that would give the president authority to remove amy thing" from the Capitol.
