Journal of Union Workers Claims Operators Buoyed By OPM Head's Stand.
By FRED W. PERKINS Times Snecial Writer WASHINGTON, April 24. — Wiliam S. Knudsen, big industrialist who is director of the office of Production Management, was blamed today by the official organ of the United Mine Workers for the current shutdown of the nation’s bituminous coal production. The Mine Workers’ Journal, which usually reflects the views of John

PILOT'S LICENSE WON BY MAN, 80
WATKINS GLEN, N. Y., April 25
[(U. P.).—There's quite a contrast between driving ox-carts and piloting an airplane, but A. I. Martin, Watkins Glen resident, has proved himself proficient at both. Mr. Martin, who recently received his solo pilot's license after success- | Tully passing his flying test, is believed to be the oldest man in the (country to receive such a permit. Belying his four-score years, Mr. Martin obtained such high standards in his physical examination that he received a commercial pilot’s rating. The latest Schuyler County flier {has been an ardent aviation stu{dent for the last two years. He is jan active member of a nearby flying club where his sage advice has aftproved of aid to the organization.

| PRUDENCE ISLAND, R. I. (U. P.) .—Eight-year-old Janice Silva is going to school again, but it's costing the state $1 a day to keep her there. Last November, Janice’s father and the school committee disagreed over responsibility for transporting the child from her home to the school on the other end of the island—a distance of five miles. Janice didn't attend school until the problem was solved by having the father drive his’ daughter to school in the morning and back at night. The school committee of the town of Portsmouth, which supervises Prudence, combines with the state to pay 5 cent a mile for | the services. | Silva is paid for four trips daily; from home to school with Janice, from school to home. without Janice; from home to school without Janice and from school to home with Janice,
