Two Other Little Girls Are Stolen in Texas but
 Found Unharmed

TUCSON, Arizona, April 27.-The army of searchers hunting the kidnapers of six year old June Robles, abducted Wednesday, has been called off to permit her fath- CT to negotiate payment of the $15,0O0 ransom demanded.
 Yesterdays note, reducing the ransom to $10,000, proved to be a hoax. This note was received by the grandfather of the little girl.
 The authorities said the serious condition of Mrs. Robles and the safety of the child influenced the decision to pay the ransom and halt the hunt.
 The girl was abducted Wednes- day as she returned homeward from school by a man who drove up beside her in an auto, called to her, and then sped away as she entered the car.
 Two hours later, Rosalio Estrada. a small boy, brought the girls father, Fernando Robles, member of a wealthy old Arizona family, a roughly printed note demanding $15,000 before release of his daughter.
