Campbell on Carpet

St. Paul, Minn., May S-(UP)-- Harry Campbell, last of the Barker Karpis gang, underwent the same relentless questioning today that forced his former leader, Alvin Kar- pis, to "squeal" on him.
 Federal agents intended to pry every bit of information they could from the crippled Karpis aide before giving him up for trial in the Ed- ward c. Bremer kidnapping.
 Campbell's admissions, if any, probably will not alter plans to try him In the Bremen case, for which he has been indicted on counts of Kidnapping and conspiracy to kid- nap. Apparently he has not been connected with the Kidnapping of William Hamin, Jr., for which Kar- pis will be tried.
 Agents admittedly hoped to ex- tract from their captives the infor- nation necessary for arrest of per- sons suspected of assisting them in escaping after their crimes.

"It is a healthy thing for world at

Davis believes national characters

for several years Davis Cup players
from the United States tried to follow
the same style.
