HW 45927 NK 92-374 JPD: MAM PATERSON, NEW JERSEY AREA This area covers Passaic County, New Jersey, which is dominated by the two major cities of Paterson and Passaic, New Jersey. In September, 1961, NK T-21 advised that HARR ALL, 272 Boyle Avenue, _Totowa,—New.Jersey , is the most impoftant man in gambling activities in the Paterson area. He stated that there can be no question that SALL has political influence of some type inasmuch as he knows from personal experience that SALL can help a local gambler in trouble with the law in Paterson, and that this, in fact, has happened to him. When difficulty is encountered between gamblers, SALL is usually sought out to settle the matter and his instructions are always rigidly followed. He is certain that gamblers in the Paterson area lay off bets with SALL and that SALL undoubtedly has runners working for hin. SALL was in September, 1961 operating from a phone booth in front of Hartman's Confectionary, 429 Tenth Avenue, Paterson. He stated this place is known as "HARRY's office" or the "Sugar Bowl." SALL has operated undisturbed from this phone booth for the past two or three years without being troubled by the Paterson Police Department or repre~- sentatives of the Passaic County Prosecutor's Office. Informant stated that he has frequently seen members of the Paterson Police Department contact SALL at this location. NK T-22 in December, 1961 advised that HARRY SALL is still operating at his regular locgtion on Tenth Avenue in Paterson, and is still the top manjin gambling and numbers at New Jersey. WA System, 50@\ Market Street, East. ch is owned—and operated by AL Passaic County Prosecutor S, . RICHARD SCHIFFMAN -- eee OS Informant further advised that HARRY SALL continues to act as peacemaker in disputes arising between Paterson bookmakers . 16 DocId: 32309682 Page 7?
