Possibilities of obtaining desired information by other means (Explain in detail): TP 41-PCI, whose identity is known to the Bureau and who is close to subject and the Tampa rackets, has advised that subject was last contacted by him on August 29, 1961, at which time subject said he was going to Miami. Therefore 41-PCI cannot ascertain subject's exact whereabouts. TP 50-PCI, whose identity is known to the Bureau and who is close to subject and a part of the bolita racket, has advised that subject went back to Miami, and subject, being more or less competitive if in bolita, would not necessarily reveal his operation to this source. . Even though the Tampa Office has two top flight potential criminal informants, additional coverage is needed to not only substantiate these sources but to keep advised as to subject's whereabouts, movements and activities. 12. Risks of detection involved: ; . ite Spot surveillances of the Dream Bar conducted in the past have established that the bar is open from approximately 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 a.m., that the bar cannot serve alcoholic beverages after 3:00 a.m. but that patrons continue to stay until approximately .- 3:30 a.m. FANO TRAFFICANTE and the night bartender sometimes : spend up to an hour working about the bar, and when leaving turn on all lights and raise the venetian blinds.
