 Arrests Are Imminent
 Hoover revealed that arrests were imminent in the Cleveland, O., area where, he said, members of the Bar- ker-Karpis gang had been harbored by persons accepted aS respectable in their communities. !ie intimated that no person who aided any of the recently captured fugitives would escape. He revealed that Campbell and Karpig had escaped capture months ago only because they had been tipped off by "crooked Cleve- land politicians with police connec- tions."
 Hoover again denounced crooked politicians. They were, he said, the real public enemies.
 Campbell and Mahan were cap- tured within six hours of one aTl- other yesterday-Cam at dawn in Toledo, O., Mahan at noon in San Francisco. Within Q few hours after their arrests, both were in airplanes enroute to the scenes of their alleged crimes where they will face the bars of justice.
 S2OO,OOO Kldnap Cleared Mahan's arrest clear up the 9200,- 900 Kidnapping of the young heir oi the Weyerheauser lumber millions His confederates- Waley and his wife-are serving long prison sentences. From the Valleys the 0-men recovered 905,000 of the ransom money. Of the $l06,000 that was Mahan's share they have re- covered approximately $56,000 and expect to recover most of the re- mainder.
 Mahan had $7,00O in his pocket when arrested and in his car $30, ,00o more was found. Previously 9i6,00C which he had been forced to aban- don with an automobile he had used in his constant fleeing from au- thoritieS, was recovered. Now After Robinson
 Hoover said his bureau would now work in earnest" on the apprehen- sion of Robinson, who was Q Ten- nessee lawyer before he turned kid- naper and collected 950,000 from Mrs. stoll's wealthy husband.
 Hoover said Mahan was captured when agents traced the Weyer- haeuser kidnap money, which he had been spending freely along the Pa- cific coast. He had attempted to al- ter serial numbers on several bills.
 Campbell known as the right hand man" of Karpis, was carrying $2,900 in his pockets. In addition to the kidnapings, he was sought for mail robberies and for shooting his way. with Karpis, out of an Atlantic City, N. J., hotel last year.
 Postal Inspectors Fail
 Hoover hinted that he believed United States postal inspectors had failed to cooperate in apprehension of Campbell. T can only say that the department of justice received no help of any kind from the postal inspection service in these cases" he said. The expected arrest of Rob- ins0n will clean the FBI slate of major kidnaperS, Hoover said. The department also plans to start in earnest" on fugitives from justice who cross from one state to another, he said. '"Then," he added, "there are the jewel and bond rackets that must be broken up."
