u. 5. Nine Safety Bill
With Closure Powers
Approved by Senate
By the Associoted Press

A Federal mine safety bill with
all the sharp teeth John L. Lewis
has been asking for years has re-
ceived the Senate's approval.
The bill, passed yesterday on q
voice vote, now goes to the House,
where somewhat similar meas
ure already is awaiting action.
If two versions finally emerge,
the differences will be worked out
by Senate House conferees.
Some Doubt Effectiveness.
While there was no organized
opposition in the Senate, some
Republicans expressed misgivings.
Senator Martin of Pennsylvania,
for example, voiced doubt any
greater safety will result in his
State than is now provided under
Pennsylvania law.
The bill Steered through the
Senate by Senator Nicely. Demo-
crat. of West Virginia gives the
Federal Government power to en-
force safety recommendations Of
the Bureau of Mines inspectors.
These inspectors now may mere
ly make safety recommendations
Enforcement is left entirely with
the States.
Changes Long Demanded.
Mr.. Lewis and his United Mine
Workers long have demanded that
Federal inspectors be given power
to enforce their recommendations
|contending this would cut down
the number of miners killed and
injured.
Under the Nicely bill, the Secre-
tary Of Interior would be empow-
cred to fix safety standards and II
would be, a misdemeanor for an
operator to violate them.
Inspectors also could order q
mine closed If they found immi-
nent danger. For failure to COM
ply. an operator could be convicted
