Gome of the contests were so close that the results will be in doubt until the final official tabulation is completed- On the basis of unofficial returns, however, it appeared that Democratic candidates for trustee had been elected in eight townships. Washington township broke away from the solid Democratic lineup that has prevailed in Marion county townships for the last four years. Charles M. Dawson, a Republican and a former trustee of the township, defeated Mrs.

Maggie Max-wrii, Democratic incumbent, by about 1.000 votes. The unofficial EARL D. BUCHANAN MRS. MARY D. RIDGE As returns continued to come In slowly from the tabulation of the par ballots for members of the Indianapolis school board, jrictory for the ticket sponsored by the Citizens School Committee by impressive margin was apparent.

It was indicated that the margin might exceed four to one. The Citizens candidates are Alan W. Boyd, Mrs. Mary D. Ridge and Carl J.

Wilde, who will take office January 1, 1935, and Earl Buchanan and John F. White, who wiil take their places on the board two years later. WASHINGTON. November A.P.W The department of Justice this afternoon announced that It a agents had taken into custody Oscar H. (Buster) Robson.

on authorization of the United States attorney of Phoenix, as the kid napper of six-year-old June Robles. The department said a federal complaint is being filed charging Robson with sending extortion letters through the United Etatci mails. Robson, a thirty-one-year-old resident of Tucson. was identified by the various handwriting experts who said the handwriting in the extortion letters, which called for payment of $30,000, was his. For several years he has bfen associated with a dance hall in Tucson.

The Robles child was kidnapped by an unidentified man about 3 p. April 25, while she was going homo from school. Later the same afternoon a small Mexican boy gave her father a written demand for the $50,000 in fiva, ten and twenty-dollar bills. Boy Delivered First Note. The boy who delivered the notn said he had received 25 cents from man whom he did not know to deliver it.

The first ransom demand wja roughly printed in lead pencil bearing the signature and contained specific directions for delivery of the money. No further word w-as heard from the' kidnappers until April 23. when a second letter was dispatched from Tucson to the girl's father repeatlnsp the demand. Robles then addressed throuch th newspapers a request to the kidnappers that they submit proof his child was still living. Robles expressed willingness to comply with all their demands.

Early in the morning of May ft the tlflrd note, similarly signed reached the uncle of th. kidnapped child. This note said tha child was in good health, and again demanded delivery of the money. On the afternoon of May 14, Jun was found by her uncle and her father's attorney and returned aliva to her home. IN WASHINGTON CARL J.

WILDE Mr. Roosevelt gave private pledges in the campaign to some of his business callers that he would not stand for a currency inflation measure, but he didn't know whether a two-thirds vote would develop to override his veto. Other economic measures of importance that are coming up in January relate to the stoppage of expenditures that are unbalancing the budget, or at least the gradual curtailment of such items as opposed to the spending passion which r.ay reveal itself in proposals to add or $10,000,000,000 to the public debt through various schemes and proposals that can never reimburse the federal treasury. President's Biggest Task. Before the Twentieth amendment, known as the "lame-duck" amendment, became a part of the Constitution, about a year used to elapse after the election before members took their seats.

Members had a chance to cool off and get their bearings and learn something about the problems they were approaching. Now within eight weeks the candidates, fresh from the irresponsibility of stump speaking, will be in their seats in both houses. Mr. Roosevelt's biggest task will be to develop a sobered sense of responsibility among the new members. A large number have had no legislative experience.

They have learned how to get elected by making promises. How long will it be before they will realize that to win the next election they must support President Roosevelt, who is to lead the ticket as the standard bearer of his party and who will himself be the issue in 1936? The answer will come not out of reading the election results but in the legislative behavior of the new congress next January. Copyright, 1934. i TODAY BY DAVID LAWRENCE WASHINGTON, November 7. The real outcome of the congressional elections this week will not be known till next January.

The tabulations and classifications Into a Republican and a Democratic column can easily be made now. But the statistics do not tell the story The important fact to be determined Is how many conservatives and how many radicals have been elected not necessarily how ruany reactionaries and how many opportunists, but how many men who can be expected to stand for sound economic proposals and against irrational and unsound measures that would destroy the credit of the government and the purchasing power of the dollar bill. For, many weeks this underlying query has been in the minds of everybody here. That the Democratic party would maintain a substantial majority was a foregone conclusion. But what is the Democratic party? Is it Huey Long, of Louisiana, who calls himself a Democrat, or is it Vic Donahey, of Ohio, who made some caustic criticisms of the new deal to win the nomination against the administration's candidate, or is it Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, or Senator Thomas P.

Gore, of Oklahoma? The latter two are no more radical than is Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas, who is called Republican, just as is Senator George N. Norris, of Nebraska, one of the most pronounced of the radical Republican group. No Longer Interested. Now that the elections are over, the country is no longer interested in party politics as such. Indeed, it is doubtful whether the country was interested in party labels in the election just, closed.

The words "new deal" were probably mentioned on Twelfth congressional district for the honor they have conferred on me by re-electing me to represent them in the congress and to say that I shall try by faithful and devoted service to justify their confidence," he said. "We are passing through an epoch of great importance in American history. In times like these we who have been chosen to represent the people in official capacities should feel a sobering sense of responsibility. We should be guided at ail times by humanitarian principles, to the end that the hungry may be fed and the naked may be clothed, but we must take care not to wander off after false gods. Would Improve Relief.

There can be no "employment of workingmen without money to meet the pay rolls and I would like to see the emergency relief program modified in the near future in a way! that will be encouraging to business: men and will extend to them the assurance that as long as they con-j duct their business in an honest way they will have a wide latitude of initiative without governmental In- i terference. "Above all, I would like to see the I President clarify his plans and purposes by making a concise statement so as to inform the business world exactly what he has in mind for the future. I would like to hear him say: This is my entire program. You may accept my word that it will not be changed as far as I am Business is sensitive and I believe that at least half of our present difficulty is due to uncertainty as to what the future will bring forth. It has been said truthfully that business can adjust nV self to almost any program If it knows what that program is.

In advance of the convening of congress, business is on the nervous edge. The President has it within his power to instill confidence in the busines world and I shall suggest to him the advisability of making such a statement as I have indicated. Pledges Roosevelt Aid. 'As a member of the Seventy-fourth congress I shall try to assist the President in a constructive way. I shall help him to correct the errors.

I shall help him to maintain sound policies and to chart a safe course, As a member of the committee on appropriations, I shall help him to reduce expenditures and to lessen the interest and tax burden. I shall help him to stabilize the currency and to balance his budget, so that business may move forward with more security and confidence. "In a most striking way the country has expressed its approval '-of President Roosevelt, the humanitarian. In the great crisis caused by the depression he has done a wonderful job for humanity. With the emergency over, I shall hope and expect the President to steer a course through the known and charted seas to a sound economic recovery.

SERVE ON NEW EDWARD B. RAVI DR. THEODORE CABLE i v. 1 v. returns conceded the election cf Paul Teegarden, Republican, as township assessor.

Party Tables Turned, An unusual situation developed in Warren township where Charles M. Walker, Democrat, was re-elected trustee, and James L. Kingsbury, Republican, was the choice for township assessor. The unofficial returns showed Walker had defeated Mr. Elizabeth Askren, Republican, by 518 votes, while Kingsbury defeated Charles Bullman, Democrat, by 234 votes.

The contest between Thomas 8, Crutcner, Democrat, and Otis K. Karns, Republican, for justice of peace of Warren township was so rime that even the unofficial returns left the result in doubt. Both sides claimed victory. For a time it appeared that there might be an upset in Center township. Early returns showed that Cal E.

House, Republican nominee for trustee, was leading Miss Hannah A. Noone. Democrat, incumbent. William M. Grunner, Republican candidate for assessor, also appeared to be leading James F.

Cunningham, Democrat. Unofficial returns from 163 precincts of 231 in the township indicated, however, that both Miss Noone and Cunningham were eiected. These returns pave Miss Noone a lead of about 7.000 votes over House and Cunningham was running about 900 votes behind her. Hohlt Believed Elected. In Perry township where a bitter battle was waged in the primary and a spirt at the polls Tuesday, Leonard A.

Hohlt apparently was elected trustee by a majority of 195 votes over Otho S. Pollard. Republican candidate. Hohlt defeated Omer Green, Democratic incumbent, in a close primary contest. William B.

Richardson, Democrat, had a majority of 210 votes for township assessor, on the basis of unofficial returns. Ed Cook. Acton, Democrat, had an majority of 100 votes for Franklin township trustee over Harry Roberts. New Bethel. R-publlcan, This contest likewise was close and will have to be confirmed by the oliirial tabulation, Cook is present assessor.

The duties of assessor and trustee are to be combined in this township nest year in accordance wifh provisions cf 1033 stare law. Herbert 11, McClelland. Democrat, was elected trustee of Wyne town-Continued on Page Part 2 ELECTED TO ROSS H. WALLACE SILAS J. CARR i.

BOYD HERRIOT MAY HEAD CABINET IN FRANCE President Expected to Call on Doumergue Critic to Form New Government. PARIS, November 7 (AJ.) President Albert Lebrun cast about today for a new premier to replace Gaston Doumergue, whose fall is imminent. elderly Doumergue, former president, who came from retirement to form a government after the fatal street riots last February, is expected to give Lebrun the resignations of the entire cabinet. Burly Edouard Herriot, one of the six Radical Socialist ministers, who broke with Doumergue over his program for increased power and constitutional reform, probably will be called on by the president to head the government. Laval Also Mentioned.

He was to accept and keep the present ministerial lineup almost Intact. Failing him, Pierre Laval, like Herriot a former premier and a member of the Doumergue cabinet, was mentioned as a likely designate. The troubled days of February were recalled as authorities took elaborate precautions to nip in the bud any attempts at outbreaks in the streets. AH available mobile guarde and gendarmes were brought into the city. Troops in the Paris region were held in their barracks, ready to act.

Large forces of police were massed about the chamber of deputies and the foreign office. CITY" (COUNCIL i ADOLFH FRITZ DON'T STAY LICKED, URGES G. 0 HEAD Fletcher and Hastings Make One Sentence State- ments on Election. WASHINGTON. November 7 (A.P.

Henry Fletcher. Republican national chairman, said today that his party was "licked" in yesterday's election but does not have to "stay licked." 'When are licked, you are uijkeu, uui jou con nave io siay licked," Fletcher said -in a one-sentence statement on the returns. Senator Daniel Hastings chairman of the Republican congress-senate committee, likewise confined his statement to one sentence: "Yesterday election demonstrated that the new deal, like a dangerous disease, must run its course and that the crisis has not yet been the stump far more often than the words "Democratic Unquestionably, the Roosevelt popularity was a big factor in the election of many candidates who otherwise might neveV have got to first base. It was not their own capabilities or qualifications that the people were asked to weigh, but whether the vote should be given a Republican the party of opposition. The strategy of some Republicans, of course, was to pledge support to Mr.

Roosevelt on some policies and to oppose him on others. But the Democratic candidates usually insisted that a Republican supporter of the President would at best be a halfhearted and unsympathetic member of congress when the administration's program was up for consideration and the election had passed. Having won their places, on the other hand, largely through the President's influence, how many Democrats will stand on their espousal of Mr. Roosevelt and how many will try to "out-left" him, so to speak? There is every likelihood that we shall see Republicans and Democrats departing from the assurances they gave on the stump. One of Strongest Tides.

What will motivate such a course? The desire to hand out public funds to those who would not work if they could get work or to those who wish to get special favors from the federal government? No better way to build up political following and strength for a subsequent election has yet been devised by the practical politician than to give something away for nothing but votes. The desire to inflate the currency Is one of the strongest tides arising from the political-minded groups. It has happened before a half dozen times since the civil war and in other countries, particularly France. Inflation of the currency and personal politics go hand in hand. sent me telegrams occasionally, repeating that he likes his work with the expedition, although he says he is always busy." Mrs.

Shannon pointed out that last week Admiral Byrd and Bolin put the main airplane of the expedition through its first test, after it had been dug out of a cover of snow. Byrd mentioned this fact in a broadcast last week. Although Bolin did not request to be assigned to the Byrd expedition, he was interested in attempting any new feats in aviation, and immediately accepted the offer of the navy department to relieve him of his regular duties as a chief pilot in the navy aviation branch to go with the expedition, Mrs. Shannon said. She recalled that he took part in the first attempt to span the Pacific ocean in a flight from San Francisco to Hawaii nearly ten years ago.

She explained that she was particularly interested in her nephew's career, since "he is more like a brother than a nephew." On the death of William's mother when he was a child, he moved to the home of Mrs. Shannon's parents in Richmond. He frequently has visited Indianapolis. "Our entire family impatiently awaits any news of William," she said. Mrs.

Nannette Dowd, by virtue of Tuesday's election, becomes the first woman ever to serve as a member of the Indianapolis city council. Mrs. Dowd, who is the wife of Dr. Frank. T.

Dowd and the mother of five children, lives at 1507 Broad- way. She has been a resident of In-l dianapolis all her life. She was elated late Tuesday night when re- turns assured her of election on the I Democratic ticket, She has been an active member of organizations for many years. Mrs. Dowd is a former president of the Marion County Women's Democratic Club, a member of the Proctor Club and a director of the Indianapolis chapter of the American Red Cross.

The Dowd children include Frank, who is married and lives in the city; Joseph, who also lives here; Rose and Margaret, students at St. the -Woods. Terre Haute, and Alfred, a pupil at Cathedral High School. i From a land of snow and ice thousands of miles away from Indianapolis Little America Mrs. Mae Shannon, 1612 Central avenue, has received a telegram directly from Admiral Richard E.

Byrd, leader of the Byrd antarctic expedition. The message, relayed by Mackay Radio to San Francisco, and by Postal Telegraph to this city, contained the admiral's expression of high regard for her nephew, William Bolin, former resident of Richmond, who is a pilot with the expedition. "I thought you might like to hear how your nephew, William Bolin. is getting along," Byrd wired. "He is working splendidly and has lived up to the highest standards set by our navy.

His efficiency is unusual and he has shown magnificent character, which is the most important of all. Kind regards, R. E. Byrd." Dated November 6. The telegram was dated 1 p.

November 6, and reached Mrs. Shannon at 4:30 p. m. the same day. I was very glad to hear from Admiral Byrd," Mrs.

Shannon explained, but added. "I have always been certain that William was getting along all right.
