Sound arrives at the ear drum,

small bones connected together

These people who become deaf
very gradually have nothing the

hearing, which is located in the
mastoid bone in the skull behind

that they can use a bone conduc-

 Continuing Resistance Despite Air Bombings
$2,16O,638 Of Budget Spent, $6,368,824 Left
All City Departments Continue 10 Live We'll Within Appropriations; Police, Fire Expenses Normal;
 Monthly Expenses Slightly Under Average

All city departments continue to live well within their budgets, ac- cording to figures revealed today by City Controller Cornelius F. Ma loney. The General Fund Summary for May shows that the city may spend during the remaining months of 1943 a total of $3,692,84
 Total expenditures to June 1 were $2 160, 638 out of the estimated bud get of $6,368. SPA.
 On the basis of such figures, the City Controller pointed out, average monthly expenditures were slightly under the average. However, he al so pointed to figures for the Comp troller, General Financial, which in- dicate that out of it's budget of $l,- 385, ,605 there already has been eX pended $698,87l, leaving $636, 469. This is the only budgetary control which shows higher expenditures for the first five months of the year than is remaining to be spent.
 The explanation of this, accord ing to MT. Maloney, is the fact that it includes many items which will not occur again during the fiscal year, such as Old Age Assistance Taxes, the sidewalk fund item of $7,50O, a $36,439 County Tax item, and $161 ,078, interest on bonds; $336, 462, bond redemption.
 In the Police and Fire Depart ments expenditures are normal From a Police budget of $567,607, $222,O7O has been spent. The Fire Department budget of $650, ,489 has been decreased by $259, IA. Heavy items in both were salaries, pension fund contributions, and in the case of the Fire, $35, ,000 water protection charge.
 The Welfare Department has cnly spent $73,128 out of it's $426,958 bud get, despite such items as $13,000 for hospital patients, $7000, childrens aid; $9,400, state hospital patients; and $5,619. boarding out children.
 In the Department of Education, with budget of $l,912,421, salaries have accounted for the greater part of the S788,967 already expended.
 Water bond redemption and in terest accounts for the bulk of the $299053 spent out of the Water Bu- reau's $73l,850.

Ickes Opens Door for Re- scinding Fines Against
 Coal Miners
-NEA Radio photo
By RAYMOND LAIR tied Press Staff Correspondent

Washington. June II - (U.PD - Coal Administrator Harold l.. Ickes left the door open today for res cinding the strike fines which drew stormy protests from the United Mine Workers.
 While the War Labor Board ap- peared headed for new collision with UNIV President John L. Lewis, Ickes made a conciliatory gesture in his dispute with the union over assessments - ranging from $4 to $8 per man - for last weeks five day work stoppage.
 In an apparent move to head oil protest strikes. Ickes reminded the miners that their wage contract provided machinery for adjusting grievances. He announced that ln- structions were being issued that any dispute about assessment, col lection or remission of fines would be handled by agents in charge ot the individual goVernment-operated mines and union committees.
 A spokesman for IckeS said the statement was issued to qualify Ickes original announcement, which was interpreted as an uncondltlon- al order for assessment of the fines The spokesman said the statement made it clear that protests could be negotiated at the local leVel'.
 Neither the statement nor the spokesman explained what circum- stances would be regarded as grounds for remitting fines. Since the miners insisted they had no contract and that they would not work without a contract, the motive behind the stoppages presumably was the same for all mines,
 Ickes said the government had held that the contract remained in effect until a new one was accepted. He pointed out that the contract imposed fines on the miners for un- authorized strikes and fines twice as great on the operators if they failed to assess the miners.
 Ickes' spokesman said one condi-

Washington, June F - (UPD - The Senate is expected today to ap- prove and send to the White House a bill designed to outlaw another walkout in the coal mines and make it possible to put labor leaders in jail if ShutdOWnS occur.
 Senator Tom Connolly, D., Tex, expressed the belief that President Roosevelt will sign the measure and make it the law that there shall be no interruption of our vital industries for the duration of the war"
 The senate held its first Saturday meeting of the 78th congress to facilitate action on the measure be- fore the present coal truce expires June 20.
 Connally recommended the bill as an overall wartime policy, mot aimed at any one man or Situa- tion." But discussions of the meas ure since Connally introduced it early this year showed clearly that the coal wage dispute provided the impetus for apparent enactment of the most drastic labor legislation in
