He said that LEONARD BLANDINA, who is a partner of ANGELO SCIANDRA in the S and B Machine Company, which is located in the plant owned by ANGELO SCIANDRA in Pittston, Pa., told him that this was the purpose of the meeting and further that on other occasions he heard NICK ALAIMO and SAMMY DI BELLA, associates of RUSSELL BUFALINO, discussing the purpose of the meeting and they too in their conversation said that was the purpose of the meeting. T+12 said that the only one who told him directly the purpose of the meeting was LEONARD BLANDINA but on three other occasions he overheard conversations between ALAIMO and DI BELLA indicating the above was the purpose of the meeting. Themmeeting was to include jobbers, manufacturers, truckers, and others who would have only a financial interest in the industry. The meeting was for the purpose of deciding what preparation or what | interest or what phase of the operation each would have when they took control of the industry. He said they intend eventually to put ; pressure on buyers to force them to buy garments from their group. T-12 said that SCIANDRA and his associates in the Pittston area intended to completely dominate the area from Binghamton, N.Y., to Buffalo, N.Y., since they had insurance they would have garment trucking rates from that area to New York City guaranteed to them. It was their intention to use the plant of SCIANDRA for cutting and distribution and any garment manufacturer in New York would be forced to operate from SCIANDRA's plant. ~17 = \0G2.
