BY SAM TYNDALL The Indiana State Teachers’ Association meeting closed its business sessions today with the election of

Wendel W. Wright, Indiana University School of Education professor, as president for 1937. Mr, Wright was named without a dissenting vote following a report of the nominating committee urging his election. Miss Ellen Viney, supervisor of elementary education at Crawfordsville, .was elected, without opposition, to the vice presidency. The 9000 teachers attending the business meeting in Cadle Tabernacle prefaced approval of the nominating committee's report on Mr. Wright and Miss Viney with adoption of resolutions which ranged from disapproval of war fo urging changes in the teachers’ retirement fund law.

The 1936 meeting ends tonight when Channing Pellock, author and playwright, speaks on “Wake Up; America.” The afternoon session today was featured by a debate between Dr. Paul R. Mort, Columbia University School of Education director, and Dr. Thomas H. Briggs, also of Columbia University.

President, Back 2 at Capital, Is Confident of His Re-election.

By United Press ; 23.—Presi-

the final week of the campaign today, confident that his re-election is assured. The President returned early today from a whirlwind tour ‘of New England, convinced that the unprecedented reception he received there forecast a Democratic victory in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. Back at his desk Mr. Roosevelt had before him repérts from party leaders assuring him that his reelection on Nov. 3 is “in the bag.” Friends said he was greatly cheered by the wildest demonstrations accorded him during his campaign. Administration strategists felt confident enough to assert that the political situation had, from their

ably as to permit Mr. Roosevelt to “coast” the rest of the way if he so desired.

Talks on Radio Tonight

The President, however, plans ‘to push ahead to a driving finish. Tonight he will deliver a radio address to business*men for Roosevelt dinners throughout the country. Plans over the week-end are indefinite, but next week he will visit New York twice for speeches. On Oct. 28 he will speak at ceremonies commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the Statue of Liberty. - This speech is expected to be one of the major addresses of the campaign. Afterwayd he may tour Brooklyn, Staten Island and perhaps Manhattan. He is expected to go to his Hyde Park home for a brief rest before returning to New York Oct. 31 for what his friends describe as the “knockout blow” of the campaign. He probably will return to Hyde Park to await election returns.

the capital today. The Nationalists attacked in force

tal's new high military command believed it meant a bid to reach the railroad to the east coast and seize control of it. There was a second Nationalist thrust—a co-ordinated drive inward from the Toledo-Madrid and Ma-~ queda-Madrid highways which was believed to be an effort to join the Nationalist columny at Navalcarnero and Illescas. Pirst concern was with the attack con the railroad—the last under loyalist cohtrol. The Nationalists today wete but a few miles from the road. If they took it as was-threat-ened at a point near Aranjuez they would cut also the branch line that runs eastward to Cuenca. Then the capital would have to get food for its million-odd people and arms for its fighting men, only via the main highway to Valencia and & few other roads, It was admitted that these would be inade-
