un the petition of three fath ers, Commissioner Spaulding or dered that the trustees of Common School District No. 7, Town of Binghamton. provide transportation "for all elementary children residing more than two miles from the school The petitioners are Peter Cusick. father of two pupils; Frank father of four, and Jacob Fissell, father of two. Through their attorney, Ralph L.

Emmons, they appealed to the commissioner from what they described as the failure of the school board to furnish transportation for their children. Mr. Emmons said today that some of the children walk to the school in Park Terrace Heights across fields or by means of a back road during part of the year. This road is closed part of the alon Morgan Road and thence up Park Terrace to the school. Commissioner Spaulding states in his order that the school provides transportation for some elementary pupils in the district and therefore provide it for all.

The commissioner said that "the children of two of the appellants reside more than two miles from the schoolhouse measured by the most direct route, which is closed during part of the year, when the children of all the appellants are then required to travel over Morgan Road." "Measured by this lattrr highway," Mr. Spaulding said, "the children of all the appellants re side two miles or more from the school EJ Benefit Plan Gets Criticism Heads of the Organizing Committee of the C. I. O. today sniped at the proposed pension and death benefit program announced yesterday by Endicott Johnson Corp.

for its 18,000 employes. Milton Filker and John J. Rus sell, co-chairmen of the committee, criticized the company program, which will cost. $21,000,000 to introduce, on the grounds that: ONE Endicott Johnson is giving work ers only two days to vole on the plan, which took 13 months to de velop. TWO The plan does not give protection for years of service to young worners ana provides only for services up to 35 years.

The C. I. O. officials assert that many workers have been with for 45 to 50 years and these workers are "penalized." THREE The workers have not had their own representatives and accountants "to study thoroughly the ngures on xne plan. FOUR Workers are not provided a secret ballot with which to vote on the pension proposal the voter'a name will be on the ballot.

FIVE Workers who start employment with at the age of 17 years must work until thev are 65 years old. The C. I. O. points out that such workers must be employed 48 vears to be eligible for a pension based on 35 years of service.

Under the plan, on which workers must vote by Monday, proposes to contribute $2 for every 3.1 paid in by workers to the pen sion plan until the date of their retirement. Principal C. I. O. unions which have workers as members have not been recognized by as bargaining agents since June 2.

The unions are International Fur and Leather Workers Union, which had represented tanners since December, 1942, and the United Shoe Workers of America, former bargaining representative of Johnson City rubber mill employes. Company officials notified the two unions last May that it had come into possession of evidence indicating that neither union represented a majority of the employes in either division. For that reason, the company announced it was withdrawing recognition of I IT'S JUST as we always suspected. Take away a teacher's hcoks, and some of them know no more than a pupil. In Colorado this week, 100 teachers were subjected to an American history test.

Most of them failed it. If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, teachers' groups are harmless. Some of them railed that the choice of American history as the test's subject was unfair. That's old stuff. THE test could have been given along more practical lines.

Few school marms, for instance, would have missed a question on the prevailing wage scale for teachers among teachers in northeastern Jasper County, South Carolina, in 1872. In our younger days we would have been surprised to learn that our teacher didn't know that Pocahontas never married John Smith. We thought it was common knowledge among the colonists. was taken to City Hospital for treatment of a scalp laceration and brush burns of the left knee. Miss Mead was found lying on the pavement near the Vestal Avenue intersection by A.

He raid they got into an argument and that Miss Mead became angry, opened the door on her side and leaped out.

DRIVING SLOWLY Mr. police said, explained that he kept on going because lif did not believe Miss Mead was hurt when she jumped out. He added that he was driving the car slowly at the time. It happened near the Vestal Avenue intersection, he said. Miss Mead declared, police said, that Mr.
