Rlh Oum Ryu 0as Of Ihoss Seking Election

Washington. Oct e9.-tN-An even 600 of the 435 members who were on the roll of the house of representatives at the last session of congress sought this year to retain their seats for another term. Three hundred and ninety-two of them hurdled the primaries and. with the exception of four already elected in Maine, will submit their cause to the voters November 6,
 Besides the eight who failed of renomination, 35 passed out for oth- CT reasons. four having resigned and :S having decided not to run again. Death claimed five. three just before the session ended and two during the recess.
 Six of those who elected to quit the house sought nomination to the senate. and three others became candidates as their party choice for governors of their states. Three Tom Connslly of Texas. Theodore E. Burton of Ohio and Charles E. Winter of Wyomlng-were success full in their quest for senatorial nominations. but only one, Martin L. Davey of Ohio. won a place on the gubernatorial ticket.
 Other Outstanding Members
 Tn addition to Connally. Burton. Winter and Davey, among the out standing figures who will be miss ing from the house chamber when the seventy-first congress convenes are Finis J. Garrett of Tennessee. the democratic floor leader; James T. Begg of Ohio, Ira c. Hersey of Maine. Thomas L. Blanton of Tex as. tho scrappiest member of the house, and George H. Combs, Jr.. the baby member from Kansas City.
 Garrett, who probably will be suc- ceeded as democratic leader by John Garner of Texas and who has served in the house for 24 years. failed to realize his ambition to become a sen- ator. He was defeated in the Tennessee primaries by Senator Ken- meth Mcclellan.
 Blanton, too, was unsuccessful in his fight for senatorial nomina- tion. both he and Senator Earle B. Mayfield going down before the genial Tom Connally in one of the hottest scraps for a senatorship the Lone Star state has known in many years. Another democrat who sought to unhorse senator, T. Webber Will son, was defeated in the Mississippi primaries by Hubert D. Stephens.
 Where Davey was successful in obtaining the democratic guberna- torial nomination in Ohio, "Jim" Begg. one of the rising leaders in the house republican ranks. failed to re- ceive the republican nomination, which would have brought him into a contest with his house colleague in November. A second member of the house who failed to obtain . repub- lican gubernatorial nomination was Joseph D. Beck of Wisconsin, one of the La Toilette group of independ- ents. who was defeated by Walter ]. kohler.
 Combs. the youngest member of the house. who is now serving his first term. did not offer for re-elec- tion. choosing 10 resume the prac- ticc of law iDhis home city. but Hersey, .. Maine veteran of six ses- sions. went down to defeat before Donald F. Snow, who was elected in tho Pine Tree state last month.
 Since the gavel fell last May death has removed two prominent members of the house. Henry R. Rathbone of Illinois and Louis A. Frothingham of Massachusetts. Just before the session ended three other veterans answered the last roll call Thomas Butler of Pennsylvania. chairman of the naval committee; /; Martin B. Madden of Illinois. chair man of the appropriations commit fee. and James A. Gallivan of Massachusetts. who was a leader of the wet forces.
 Won,en Seek Re.electim
 All four of the women now mem- bers of the house-Florence P. Kahn of California. Edith Nourse Rogers of Massachusetts. Mary T. Norton of New Jersey and Katherine Langley of kentucky-are candi- dates for reelection. In addition two other women. both daughters of once outstanding figures in the re- publican and the democratic parties, seek house seats.
 Ruth Hanna Mccormick, daugh- ter of Mark Hanna, is a candidate for representative at large from Illinois, having defeated Represent ative Richard Yates in the repup- lican primaries. Yates, however. has since been appointed as a can- didate in place of Rathbone.
 Ruth Bryan owen, daughter of William Jennings Bryan. seeks cleo tion to the house from the fourth district of Florida. She defeated Rep. William J. Sears in the pri- maries last spring, and generally nomination in that state is tanta- mount to election.
 All of the leaders of the repub- lican party came through the pri- marics. Nicholas Longw orth. speak CT. is up for reelection in Ohio: John o. Tilson, floor leader, has been renominated in Connecticut. and Bertrand H. Shell, chairman of the all powerful rules committee. successfully weather the New York primaries.
 Among the democrats John Gar ner, ranking member on the ways and means committee, and William A. Oldfield. the democratic whip, have been renominated. Garner probably will be democratic candi- date for speaker Of the house and if Longworth is reelected. as he will he if the republicans retain their majority. will succeed Garrett as pilot of the minority forces.
