TWO CHANGES ARE PROPOSED BY TEACHERS State Group Is Urged to Dissolve, Reorganize as Corporation. NEW BOARD SUGGESTED Miss Hilda Maehling of Terre Haute Named President. The Indiana State Teachers Association may dissolve and incorporate jus a non-profit organization. Twelve district vice presidents are to be dropped and a board of administration, composed of five members, is to be formed. These changes were suggested today in the constitutional revision committee's report, to be voted upon at the 1937 meeting here. After hearing the proposed changes in the 82-year-old organization’s constitution, 12,000 teachers, assembled in Cadle Tabernacle, elected Miss Hilda Maehling, Terre Haute, president, and Carl Zimmerman, New Albany, vice president. Miss Maehling and Mr. Zimmerman were nominated earlier at a nominating committee meeting in the Claypool. Possible Revolt Forestalled Possible revolt of teachers from northern districts to end the single fall meeting in Indianapolis and hold congressional district meetings was forestalled by the report of the constitutional committee. The committee changed the constitution to give the executive committee the right to direct the formation of regional organizations within the association. L. A. Pittenger, Ball State Teachers College president, in reading the report urging incorporation of the organization, said: “We should be ashamed of ourselves. Our responsibility is less thtm that of a 2-year-old child. We can't borrow money at the bank. We can't sign a check. We're outside the pale. We must depend on our executive secretary and his credit. We must become a legal entity.” Asks Administration Board “Nothing has been done by this committee to jeopardize the large association meeting held in this city every year,” Mr. Pittenger said as he read the committe's report. The constitutional changes proposed, in addition to dropping the 12 district vice presidents, create an executive committee composed of a member from each congressional district with the thirteenth member to be the organization’s president. Members of the convention are also to elect the administrative board of five members and that board is to direct the work of the executive secretary, C. O. Williams, under policies outlined by the executive committee. Mr. Pittenger pointed out that the Administrative Board would be a body that could speak at all times for the association. Neutrality Legislation Passed Lavan Fisher, Logansport principal, attempted to reduce the association's nominating committee from 12 congressional members to seven, with four of those members classroom teachers. He declared the classroom teacher did not have fair representation in nominating officers.

STATE INSISTS WELSHANS SANE Two Psychiatrists Testify at Murder Trial: Arguments Monday. Thomas Welshans, on trial for the murder of Mary Ferguson Hamberg, was sane when he is alleged to have shot her, according to reports of Dr. Laßue D. Carter and Dr. Rogers Smith, psychiatrists, who examined Welshans, and who testified today in Criminal Court. Judge Frank P. Baker adjourned court after the doctors’ testimony until 9:30 Monday morning, when final arguments will be heard. Two hours each will be allolwed prosecution and defense for presentations. Welshans told Dr. Smith during the examination that he had always had a bad temper, the physician testified. Deputy Sheriffs Ernest Medcalfe and Ralph Green, who testified in rebuttal yesterday, are in danger of being discharged. Sheriff Ray said after adjournment. Mrs. Lillian Welshans, mother of the accused murderer, testified Wednesday that her son was in the home at 325 S. Missouri-st June 3 when Sheriff Ray and the two deputies searched there for him. Sheriff Ray testified that he remained outside on the front porch of the Welshans home while the deputies went inside. Welshans testified earlier that he hid between the house and an adjoining warehouse while the deputies searched the home. Deputy Medcalfe revealed on cross examination that Sheriff Rav discharged him and re-employed him five 'hours later Wednesday night. Asked if he had discharged both deputies, Sheriff Ray said last night, “No, but they’re skating on mighty thin ice.” Welshans went to Mrs. Hamberg’s Speedway City apartment and fired through a window after she refused to talk to him, he testified yesterday. “I did not know that the bullet struck her until after I heard the sheriff tell my mother,” Welshans said. STREET CAR STALLS College-av Trolley Causes 20-Minute Tieup; Workers Delayed.

Inside, she pushed an emergency button and stopped the waiter between the second and third floors. Meanwhile, a physician, observing Miss Doyle's plight, turned in a fire alarm. Since it was a hospital alarm, three police squads also answered it. By the time they arrived Miss Doyle had been extricated by four physicians, the hospital engineer and two sisters. Miss Doyle escaped with cuts and abrasions on both arms, received when she dragged herself into the waiter.

PRINCE SEIZES AUSTRIAN RULE Starhemberg Takes Dictator Role in Bloodless Uprising. BY ROBERT H. BEST (Copyright, 1935. by United Press) VIENNA, Oct. 18.—Prince Ernst | Rudiger von Starhemberg, friend ! and admirer of Benito Mussolini, to- ! day ordered full speed ahead toward j consolidation of his virtual dictatorship over Austria. The Fascist vice chancellor, whose power overshadows the nominal authority still resting in the hands of Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg after yesterday’s bloodless coup, took his first step toward control of the | country by consolidating military organizations into a unified national militia. Foreign Policy Unchanged. The keystone of Starhemberg's policy was set forth in a bulletin which said: “The Austrian foreign policy will not be altered. The policy always pursued has had as its aim preservation of Austria's independence and promotion of the country’s economic interests. This policy requires that, while friendly relations with all countries are desirable, other countries maintaining friendly relations with Austria should fully recognize Austria’s vital economic interests.” Despite this declaration, the opinion prevails in Vienna that Austria, under Starhemberg's leadership, will display strong Italian leanings and consequently will be less friendly to England and the League. The internal situation leading to Starhemberg's seizure of power remained beclouded today. It is clear that rivalry between Starhemberg and Maj. Emil Fey, interior minister, in the ousted cabinet and leader of the Vienna Heimwehr, furnished a reason for retiring the latter. But it is not clear whether Starhemberg struck first, to forestall a move by Fey, or whether he merely j saw an opportunity to leap into the ' saddle without encountering great resistance from the Vienna HeimI wehr.

London After Duce's Scalp, World Decides After Momentous Moves. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-How ard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.— Events of the past 24 hours, in London, Paris, Rome and Geneva, indicate to observers here that after the name of Benito Mussolini the British have written the word “finis." Military and naval strategists particularly see ominous signs in Britain's recent moves, military as well as diplomatic. Obstacles increasingly encountered at Geneva in the application of financial and economic sanctions of a nature sufficiently drastic to be effective are seen as foreshadowing the collapse of this form of penally unless supported by a show of force. Britain is said to have arrived at that conclusion. It was for that reason it answered with a categorical “no” the suggestion of Premier Laval of France that the British fleet in the Mediterranean be withdrawn. For that reason, also, it is believed, England is resorting to extraordinary pressure on France to ! force her to permit the use of her Mediterranean naval bases in the event of a clash in these wates. Toulon, France’s great naval base in the Mediterranean, is only 100 miles from Italy, and less than 200 miles from Genoa. Hence it is in easy bombing distance. One Italian raid on Toulon, and a FrancoItalian war would follow forthwith. The impression is growing here that Britain is determined to have it out with Mussolini now, come what may. Yet few believe Italy will take it lying down. The Duce will simply have to go on, even if it costs him his head—as he himself admits is a possibility. Rains Impede Advance (Copyright, 1935, by United Press) MOGADISCIO. Italian Somaliland. Oct. 18.—The Italian advance on the Somaliland front, including the march of the Italian column on Gorrahei in the Fafan River valley, is still seriously impeded by heavy rains. There is no sign of a let up for at least another week. Notwithstanding thp > " ,i n there is an occasional encounter with Ethiopian patrols. The patrols are being driven away in each case. Italian sources report the Ethiopians to be discouraged and assert that armed bands frequently present themselves at outposts and surrender. Bombing raids undoubtedly have been the main factor in this demoralization. Italy Expecting Attack (Copyright, 1935, by United Press) ROME. Oct. 18—Field Marshal Pietro Bodaglio, Italian army chief of staff, expects a huge Ethiopian force to attack on the Eritrean front “in the near future.” Rome newspapers said today. The resultant battle might engage 300,000 men. Bodaglio told correspondents in Eritrea, where he is inspecting troops, that before the horde of black warriors descends on the lines m front of Aduwa, Aksum and AdigraL Italian forces will be firmly entrenched and ready for a decisive fight. He admitted, however, that ‘considerable time” may be required to advance his armies on the north and the south deep enough into Ethiopia’s scorching, craggy central plateau to choke off resistance. The government announced officially last night that it has more than 350,000 men under arms in Africa and nearly 700.000 in Italy Approximately 80.000 of the African troops are Eritrean and Somaliland natives. Southern Front Calm (Copyright. 1935, by United Press) HARAR, Ethiopia, Oct. 18 —Chieftains returning from the southern front today reported a lull in hostilities. They said they believed Gen. Rodolfo Graziani, Italian commander, was reluctant to advance because his airplanes had failed to reveal the location of Ethiopian defenders. Both sides seem playing a cat and mouse game in the south. Both commanders seemed to have decided, according to reports here, that the first to advance against prepared positions and protecting bases would suffer heavy casualties. (

War Today

France Expected to Give England Her Pledge of Support. BY WALLACE CARROLL (Copyright. 1935. by United Press) GENEVA, Oct. 18.—Blockade of the Mediterranean and Red Seas unless economic and financial penalties against Italy bring quick results was considered increasingly likely by League of Nations leaders today. Great Britain is expected, unless the penalties imposed for Italy's war on Ethiopia show positive effect, to propose that the blockade be enforced to cut Italy off from its East African armies Belief that a blockade'proposal might be made soon was based partly on the general belief here that France will agree to the British demand that French ports be made available as bases for British warships.

“I have pledged mvself to do niv part in keeping Ameriea free of those entanglements that move us along the road to war.” Thus did President Roosevelt tak\; his stand today in pleading for public support of his neutrality policy. His statement was delivered by Mrs. Roosevelt from the forum on current problems of the New York Hera Id-Tribune.

Accompanying this belief were th® increasingly strong indications that British policy is becoming daily firmer as regards penalizing Italy. Britain's fleet would be the blockade medium, but only as the instrument of the League. Thus Britain would have the official authority of nearly three-score nations belonging to the League in enforcing League penalties. The test, some leaders believe, will be the effectiveness of a' British proposal for an immediate complete boycott of Italian products, now before the economic subcommittee of the League penalties committee. Indicated As Necessary Unless this proved effective, it was said, the blockade weapon was indicated as necessary to show th® League’s power to punish a warmaking nation which might next strike on continental Europe. Any blockade would be aimed at cutting off Italy s east African expeditionary force. This would b® done by shutting the Suez Canal to Italian warships and closing the southern entrance to the Red Sea opposite the British protectorate of Aden. There seemed no doubt here that such a blockade could be enforced. Not only has Great Britain put its powerful fleet in the Eastern Mediterranean but, if necessary, the entire Suez Canal could be closed by the simple expedient of crashing a couple of old freight ships in it. Has Fleet Base As for the Red Sea. Britain has Aden, around the corner of th® Asian continent from its southern entrance, as a fleet base. The Aden protectorate extends up to the Strait of Bab El Mandeb, which it can dominate with big guns. It also has Perim Island in th® Strait and is reported to be fortifying some rocky islets adjacent. Italian Eritrea lies just north of the straits, its coast entirely on the (Turn to Page Threei M’NUTT URGES THRIFT, SERVICE IN COUNTIES Supports Integration of Townships at Chicago Convention. ft<) United Vren CHICAGO, Oct. 18 —Gov.

"Integration of the present township government into the county unit is one of the most obvious savings in governmental costs." Gov.
