Scottish Leader Stunned
All Modern Things and
Held Self Above Law
By the Associated Press

INVERARAY, Scotland, Aug. 20.
Mall Diarmid Campbell, II, Duke
of Argyll and hereditary chief of
the Clan Campbell, died at his
200-year-old castle here today.
His cousin, Capt. Ian Douglas
Campbell. succeeds to the title.
The duke hated modern things.
He refused to have anything to
do with the telephone. He refused
to get in an automobile if he could
travel by bicycle.
He held that his power over his
lands was above modern laws.
Once he was brought before the
Dunoon sheriff for assaulting the
town clerk of Inveraray. He said
the clerk was trying to interfere
with the way he ran his estate.
He got off with a scolding.
On another occasion he threat
ened to toss two officials of Brit
aims Office of Works into the
castle dungeons. He held that
they, too, were meddling in his
affairs.
He could be a good host when
in the mood, however. Castle SER
wants recalled that years ago a
party of American tourists some
how got by the guard and were
discovered by the duke strolling
about the grounds.
Instead of going into one Of his
towering RACES the duke welcomed
the invaders with fish and chips
and then entertained them with a
personal recital of arias from Ital-
ian operas.
Although he used the title of
duke-the dukedom goes back to
1701-Campbell had older titles
among his string of Is. That of
Baron Campbell. for instance,
was created in 1445.
The duke inherited his title OF

through his direct descent from

His hereditary titles included

of Scotland. Keeper of the Great

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-A vast
illicit drug ring-so powerful that
it spanked an abortive revolution
in Peru and involved United Ma
tions action-has been exposed
here with the arrest of the alleged
Iringleader.
Authorities called the arrest
yesterday the first high point in
an international breakdown on
huge smuggling syndicate which
has piled a s50u, ,000-a-month CO.
caine trade between the United
States and Peru.
American, Peruvian and U. N.
authorities joined in a two-year
drive to smash the ring, said to
have used narcotics profits to arm
insurgents in Peru in an attempt
to seize control of the country.
The story of political intrigue
and plotting. tied in with large
scale drug traffic, was unfolded
with the seizure yesterday of the
alleged ringleader, Eduardo Bala-
rezo, 48, of Great North River,
Long Island.

He is a naturalized citizen OF
Peruvian descent.
More than 80 persons, some OF
them prominent business men,
have been arrested in Peru. au-
thorities said, and so or 60 op-

lieved to be connected with the
ring.

the liner La Guardia, which runs
between New York and italian
ports. He was held in 100000

Capt. Alfonso Mier y Teran of
the Peruvian Department of In
vestigation, who has been here
for two months to aid in the hunt,
said Balarezo was a source of
arms in the Aprista Party upris-
ing in Peru last october.
Warship Trip Recalled.
The captain said Balarezo was
taken from here to Peru on a
Peruvian warship in March, 1948,
as a guest of Victor Haya de la
Toree, chief of the now outlawed
Aprista Party.
Baiarezo allegedly took with
him $50 900 In cash ana guam
tity of munitions. for use by the
Aprista Party in its uprising. If
the plot succeeded, he was to be
rewarded with the post of chief
of Peruvian customs, Capt. Mier
said.
However, the revolution failed.
Hay de la Toree took refuge in
the Columbian embassy in Lima,
where he remains a political ref
ugee. Balarezo fed by air to the
United States. leaving behind his
family.
