MORE ARRESTS IN
 KIDNAPPING CASE
Two More Suspects Will Be Seized in June
 RObleS Abduction

Phoenix, Ariz, Nov. S.-(UP).- Early arrest of two additional sus- poets was predicted today in the kidnaping of little June Robles, whose imprisonment in an iron cage in a desert enraged the south west last April. The men were hunted by federal agents, who de- parted for an unannounced desti- nation. Oscar H. Robson, 31, was arraigned on extortion charges as the first suspect apprehended in the only unsolved American kid- naping case. Robson denied he sent extortion notes to June's father, Fernando Robles, Tucson business man. He was a close friend of Robles.
 Robson was held under $50,000 bail. Government handwriting ex- perts, after making comparisons, said he wrote Robles note on the day of the Kidnapping, demanding $15,00O ransom. The other notes were received by Robles before a posse, acting on instructions con tained in an anonymous letter from Chicago 19 days after the kidnap- ing, found June chained to cage sunk in shallow pit in the desert nine miles from Tucson. Robson was questioned several months ago but convinced officers at that time he was not involved in the kidnap- ing. Preliminary hearing was set for Nov. 22. Six-year-olid June had nothing to say when told of Rob- sons arrest. She attends private school at Tucson.

REPUBLICANS OF
 CALIFORNIA TO CHANGE POLICY
Will LiberaIize the Party After Bad Scare Caused
 By Sinclair

San Francisco, Nov S.--(UP)- A drive to liberalize policies of the California republican party brewed to-day as conservatives breathad easier following the defeat of Up- ton Sinclair, socialist turned demo- crat, who came closer than they though he would to victory in Tuesdays gubernatorial election.
 Frank Merriam, conservative republican incumbent, won by a plurality that probably will reach 225,00O when the few scattered precincts not yet reported are counted. But cheering to libeI- als who didn't want to go as far to the left as Sinclair wishes and omineus to conservatives who wish no change at all, was the total of votes cast for Sinclair and his radical EPIC plan to end poverty, He received approximately S00,O00 votes, vindicating that many Cali fornians desire drastic change in governmental policy.
 Merriam during his campaign pledged liberal policies in dealing with unemployment, relief and so- cial legislation. Resting at his home at Long Beach to-day, he reaffirmed his intention of launch- ing a program when the legisla- ture convenes in January to meet present demands.'' His support CTS said he was aware of the meaning of the huge vote cast for his rival.
 The San Francisco Chronicle, during the campaign regarded as Merriam's northern California mouthpiece and long conservative ly republican in policy, to-day de- manded change.
 "There must be coherent and constructive policies in govern ment and there must be new lead- ership added to politics." it said.
 Sinclair, in a spirited staetment, announced that despite his defeat the EPIC organization will be continued and extended over the entire Pacific coast.
 He announced he would write a new book entitled "I-Candidate for Governor of California and How I Got Licked" He promised the inside story of his famous visit to President Roosevelt-the details of which still remain secret. The slowly ending count of bal, lots showed Merriam was elected by probably 225,o00 to 230,o00 plurality.
 Nine thousand seven hundred twenty-six of the states 10,721 precincts:
 Governor-Merriam, republican, 1,002,961: Sinclair, democrat, 7s0,- 779; Haight, commonwealth-p pro- gressive 276,s76; Merriam's plur- ality 222,182.

UNITED STATES
 TEAM WAS TIED

New York, Nov S.-UP)-A crowd of nearly 10000 attended last nights opening of the Na- tional Horse Show at Madison Square Garden, one of the larg- est attendance in the shows 51- year-history. Society was well represented. Spectators were thrilled at the unexpectedly ex- cellent performance by the first Chilean team ever to compete in the show. A colorful quartet of small Chilean horses, we'll ridden by army officers featured the pro- gram.
 Despite their small stature the Chilean mounts sailed over the tricky Olympic course of 32 fences and registered only eight faults, tying the United States team for the lead in the military tests.
 The Irish Free State came third with 15 faults: the Canadian team fourth with IS, and the French riders fifth with 24.

two to one for the bonus which has imitation tied up with it, total of 11S members of the next house Ere out and out inflationists. A total of 17S house members are aligned fro the 'greenbaek" payoff of the bonus.
 Late returns today from congress sienal districts indicated the admin istration would retain its present house strength of 309 and possibly pass the SIS figure, the number of democrats elected in 1892. Vacan- cies have occurred since. Senate two-thirds majority is conceded.
 Bloc movements, the United Press chart indicated, would center around the bonus and currency in- fiation. It was considered doubtful however that either could be pass ed over a presidential veto. Dynamite or radical bloc action in the house was stifled last ses- sion only by White House pressure. It will be more of a problem be- ginning January 2. The 30-hour week bill, imitation payoff of farm debts and more far reaching social legislation than the administration may sponsor will tax house lead ership strategy.
 The bonus bill was shot through the house by a two-thirds majority last session. It failed in the senate. The 30-hour week bill was con- ceded house passage if it had been brought up.
 will Keep Then In Line Some observers believed that de- spite the unweildy majorities the evidenced national vote of confl- dence in the president would aid in keeping democratic recalcitrants in line.
 The manner in which conserva- tive candidates went down to de- feat in Connecticut. Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and Illinois sharply showed the trend for political ideas. Senator-elect Joseph Guffey in Pennsylvania is for the bonus. So is Senator elect l.. N. Sehwellen- bach in Washington. Rabid critics of things progressive went down generally. These anti-new deal critics included Representatives Harold McGugin, T, Kan, Rep c. M, BakeweIl,r r, Conn, Rubert Luce, r, Mass, F. W. Goss, r, Conn.,, Louis T, McFadden, r, Pa, Clyde Kelly, r, Pa.
 A socialist almost defeated con- servative Rep Schuyler Merritt, r, Conn. D. A. Kenney, d, N. J., was returned to lead the congressional fight for $2,o00,000,006 national lottery.
 Democrats definitely elected to the house totaled sos, republicans 97. Third party groups in the house will, contain at least four LaFoil- cite progressives from Wisconsin and two Minnesota farmer-labor- ties.
 Speakership Battle The house speakership will play significant part in determining how close the White House can control the majority membership. Fractional and personal fights may leave bitterness. The strength and diplomacy of those selected for the speakership and majority leader ship will have an important bearing on the country's future. It was believed certain that with | the reduced republican house

 Torn Down of Sinclair
 California turned back the rad ical thrust by defeating Upton Sim clair, democratic gubernatorial candidate. Sinclair sponsored EPIC a plan of production for use which involved barter and 8 tax program which frightened the state.
 Joe D. Zimmerman, without or ganization but on a radical plat form, boiled almost 100000 votes for governor in Oregon.
 Joseph I. France, campaigning for senator in Maryland as a re- publican on an advanced program of social insurance. forged well be. yond 100000 votes in that com paratively small state.
 Mississippi sent to the senate Theodore c. Bilbo, a printing press money man.
 Nebraska experimented cautious ly by ratifying state constitution al amendment for a unicameral legislative system.
 As remarkable, as some of the economic changes proposed or ef- fected is the continued American movement away from the age of innocence. Five more states voted wet this week, West Virginia, Neb- raska, Idaho, Wyoming and Flor ida. Dry Kansas remained dry. Most Massa chusetts counties which voted on the question decided to legalise .pari-mutuel betting on horse and dog races. Since 1892 there has been general relaxa- ton of laws against liquor and betting and the trend apparently Is to continue.
 Florida embarked on a peculiar in state aggrandize- nent. It beckoned moving picture producers from Hollywood with a IS year tax exemption for their studios.
