To determine the scope of interstate "lay off" activity on the part of known large scale bookmakers. 6. To cover activities, contacts and travel of known professional gamblers and bookmakers, looking forward to successful prosecution under the recently enacted Inter- state Transportation in Aid of Racketeering Statute. 7. To develop violations of Federal law on corrupt public officials, who are allegedly receiving funds from local bookmakers and bolita kingpins. These violations, if any, will probably relate to income tax matters. The cases involving PATRICK FRANK SETTEMBRINO and CAUDELL WIRE SERVICE will be closely followed to see that no delinquencies occur and our objectives are achieved. The investigative report captioned "CRIMINAL IN- FLUENCE IN HOTEL EMPLOYEES, LOCAL 255; AR'' was submitted _ January 25, 1962. This matter and related matters involving "criminal influence" in labor organizations will be vigorously pursued and closely followed by me. In an effort to increase our coverage under the Top Echelon Criminal Intelligence Program, we have under considera- tion for development HYMAN MARTIN, ANTHONY RANDAZZO, JOHN KING, THOMAS ALTAMURA and PHILLIP SIDANO. A highly confidential and productive source is being utilized on HYMIE MARTIN. AL MONES was recently interviewed under this program, found uncooperative and replaced by SIDANO. I have instructed there be a more rapid turnover of individuals under consideration in this pro- gram with a maximum number of interviews conducted. “Docld:322736693 Page 2

CG 6283-C advised SA VINCENT L. INSERRA on the. evening of 7/18/63 that he has heard that Judge AUSTIN is a fairly close friend of BIEBER and BRODKIN and that within the past year or so AUSTIN, BIEBER and BRODKIN and their wives took a trip to either Miami or Las Vegas and that the bills for this trip were paid by BIEBER and : BRODKIN. ' In connection it is noted that CG 6576-C* advised that on 4/2/63 MIKE BRODKIN advised PAT MARCY, local politician who is the tool of Chicago top;;hoodlum SAM GIANCANA, that Judge AUSTIN had sent him word that BRODKIN "must be mad at me" since it had been a period of time since BRODKIN had visited AUSTIN. CG 6283-C also advised that it is gossip in Chicago on Clark Street where the federal courts are located that for some time Judge AUSTIN has been having an affair with his secretary. According to this information, his secretary is a married woman, however, could furnish no additional information. VA. See | CG 6283-C also advised that Judge AUSTIN and , guonce Ler GnToN, the attorney-who is defending GIANCANA, are p sonal y well acquainted with each other and were i very; closely associated together on a committee of the local bar association which just recently sought changes in the Criminal Code of Illinois. CG 6283-C, who is an attorney, advised that it appeared strange to him at the time that although Judge AUSTIN was no longer a judge on.a state or local level, he seemed to have particular interest in the revisions of the Illinois State Code and was the chairman of the committee in this regard. This informant also noted that Judge AUSTIN seemed to favor and fight for the proposed provisions of the new code which hindered law enforcement in general. He stated in particular Judge AUSTIN was interested in having a part of the code changed to make it mandatory that defendants be "immediately" advised of their right to an attorney upon arrest and given | "immediate" access to a telephone to consult with an attorney. | -~ 4+ ens me oi, ‘ ZL. \Qe Ws’, y 4 Docld: 32286981 Page 2?

This would indicate that at least Judge RYAN, known to be under the considerable influence of MARCY and his associates, felt that he had an entre with Judge AUSTIN. The DAPLI investigation of AUSTIN conducted in the summer of 1961 when AUSTIN became a federal judge has been reviewed and it is noted that CG 6132-C advised in 1/57 that Judge RICHARD AUSTIN who at that time was a criminal judge in Chicago accepted money to fix cases which he heard and that he accepted this money through the law firm of Bieber and Brodkin,. It is noted that GEORGE LEIGHTON was interviewed during this investigation and he advised that he had known - AUSTIN on a professional basis for at least ten years. LEIGHTON described AUSTIN as having more judicial ability than any other judge in the local courts of Cook County, and stated that he would highly recommend AUSTIN for the position of federal judge. This report also shows that AUSTIN was criticized in 1960 when AUSTIN was Chief Justice of the Criminal Courts for an attempt to destroy a special Grand Jury report on the police scandals "as part of a sinister / plan to cover up corruption in Chicago". It is noted that this . / corruption greatly hindered Chicago hoodlums due to the reorganization of the Chicago Police Department. This report indicated that / the Grand Jury believed that there was an alliance in Chicago between crime politicians and the police. AUSTIN explained, according ; to the press, that the jury exceeded its authority in making. A such a report. States Attorney ADAMOWSKI accused AUSTIN's — "politics of the cheapest king" and referred to him as a ~ "CHARLIE MC CARTHY" to Mayor DALEY's "EDGAR BERGAN" of the Democratic organization. It should also be noted that _ | this investigation determined that AUSTIN is a former law partner ~ of ex-governor DWIGHT GREEN of Illinois and that AUSTIN ran as a Democratic candidate for governor: of Illinois in 1956. -5- Fi . aos Sy .
