Customerily, the back yard 1@ clearly Lliuminated at night by several permanent spot lights. GABRIEL MANNARING, his wife, JEAN, and their tno teenage daughters occupy the house. — ‘As the Bureau has been notified previously, GABRIEL MANNARINO's cottage on Cld Leechburg Read, in Allegheny Township, Westmoreland County, Pa., is @ one-story, frame bullding, which sits back about 300 feet from the road on a 10 acre tract which slopes from front to rear. It has a small lake in front Of it, and it is surrounded by wooded area. It hag 3 bedrooms, a kitche, @ living-dining room, an@ a screened porch. To the right rear.and about 20 feet from the hou ig 2 wire pen, which who lives nearby, says there are no private telephone lines in the area, and it is known that the cottage has so telephone. From past experience, it is known that GABRIEL MANHARINO almost never hos visitors at his home, especially those having any connections with racket activities, polities, or law enforcement. SAMUEL MANNARINO occaskonally has visitors of the above types, but the visite are so infrequent and unpredictable, that 16 does not seem feasible toconsider establishing a highly confidential source. With regard se the MANNARINO offices at 1263 Third Avenue, New Kensington, Pa., it is noted that this is a one story, wed brick building. It is located completely inside a ten foot metal fence which surrounda the scrap metal yard, and it sets beck from the gate, which is locked et night, about 50 feet. The area between the gate, the serap plles and the office building is brightly illuminated by a group of spotlights. Recently, it has been determined that this office is protected by the Silent Service System, an electronic burglar alarm system which is monitered directiy by the New Kensington Pp. It would seem that the moat likely spot to attempt to establish a Bigely confidential source would be at the MANNARING cottage, bat efforts will have to be made to resolve some of the problema, such as monitoring (the cottage is about 35 miles from the Pittsburgh Office); ingress (the dogs and a caretaker whose schedule is irregular) and security (location and coverage of all possible visitors, and possibility that there is a burgier-alarm installed). a os HW 45854 DoclId:32296146 Page 3
