Valparaiso Teacher Elected President Miss Audrey Shauer is State President INDIANAPOLIS <UP> — Miss Audrey Shauer of Valparaiso was elected president of the Indiana State Teachers Association at the group's 104th annual convention Thursday. Miss Shauer, president of the state unit of the National Education Association and an English teacher, beat out Miss Grace Anderson of Seymour in a close race to succeed outgoing president O. M. Swihart, Kokomo superintendent of schools. George Mcßeynolds of Lawrenceburg was elected vice-presi-dent and William Decker of Vincennes was named treasurer. The election of officers highlighted the first day of the two-day convention. About 20,000 Hoosier 12,000 others attended division meetings at Evansville, South Bend, Hammond and Fort Wayne. The evening session here was highlighted by a talk by Thomas Whitney, a wire service foreign news analyst. Whitney told the teachers the United States must encourage more science training in school if we ard to catch up scientifically with Russia. He called for broadened scientific training in all American schools with emphasis aimed at thinking of peace with Russia rather than war. “We spend our energies in preparation for what we think will be war with Russia, when we should be concerning ourselves with creating ideas for maintaining peace with them," he said. Earlier in the day, the association voted to raise dues from sl2 to sl6 a year. The decision came after a debate in which some delegates sought a sliding scale of three-tenths of one per cent of the teacher’s salary. The $4 increase was expected to bring in $120,000 more a year. The group heard Robert Wyatt, executive secretary of the ISTA, report that 4 per cent of the ISTA’s 32,000 members had purchased SBOO,OOO worth of bonds for financing a new $2,400,000 building now nearing completion here. He asked the other 96 per cent of the teachers to start buying the bonds. The new ISTA building was dedicated officially at cornerstone laying ceremonies presided over by Swihart. William Laurence, science editor of the New York fames, will be the featured speaker during the afternoon "session today.

W 1— The honeymoon of Bing Crosby and his 23-year-old bride at Crosby's $250,000 home near this' desert spa will be a brief one. They both have to go back to work Monday. The 53-year-old crooner, who parlayed a crooning baritone and an easy manner into fame and fortune, was med in Las Vegas, J lev., Thursday to browrS'yed actress Kathy Grant, a Texasborn beauty. After a wedding party they retired to Crosby’s lush stone home at Silver Spur Ranch, a private development by Crosby and some of his friends. The couple’s marriage came as a surprise to friends and relatives, and it was a hurried decision for themselves, too. “We started seeing each other again about 10 days ago," Crosby said. “I realized I wasn’t happy away from her and she felt the same way. But it wasn’t until Wednesday afternoon that I could sell her on the idea of getting married.” The baldish crooner, a widower since his wife, Dixie, died five years ago, and Miss Grant supposedly were on the verge of M ' m i: f
