NY 92-646 According to CLEMENTE, PROFACI's men stated they had a charter that they received nine months ago from JACK MC CARTHY. CLEMENTE related that,at this point, CURLY jumped up and ordered MC CARTHY to leave the meeting. CLEMENTE indicated that PROFACI's men were smart and immediately left this meeting and went back to PROFACI to explain what had happened. CLEMENTE made the observation that PROFACI did not ‘trust CURLY or DOYLE and apparentiy had a very oid grievance against DOYLE. CLEMENTE theorized that this grievance dated back to the time that DOYLE was working for LUCHESE while in the garment center and surmised that JOSEPH MAGLIOCCO was involved in some dealings with DOYLE oo JOSEPH’ MAGLIOCCO is the bret seher-tn-tis of JCSEPH PROFACI and attended the Apalachin meeting. CLEMENTE stated that PROFACI asked him to straighten out this matter and CLEMENTE indicated that he believed that he could get along with DOYLE, According to CLEMENTE, he, CLEMENTE, arranged a meeting between BO&8, TONY and JACK MC CARTHY. Prior to this meeting, CLEMENTE stated that he had determined that BOB and TONY shared an office with MC CARTHY, but the charter for the newly orgenized bowling alleys was in MC CARTHY's office. At the meeting, CLEMENTE indicated that he asked MC CARTHY if these fellows had a charter. When he established that MC CARTHY gave them a charter, CLEMENTE insisted that the charter be given to them outright end moved to their office. CLEMENTE stated that MC CARTHY was in agreement with this move. Cr LEMENTE expressed the opinion that he liked MC CARTHY and that MC CARTHY was an honest man to do business with.

During the summer of 1953, ROTHMAN advised on sevéral different occasions that he and the Sans Souci were in bad shape financially and he did not know at that time whether he would be able to continue operations. (O The fact that ROTHMAN and the Sans Souci were in bad shape economically was borne out by PCI DINO CELLINI, FBI No. 2198122, American floor man at the Tropicana night club, who in September, 1953, advised that he was trying to work out a deal to take over the Sans Souci. It is y to be noted that the Tropicana is strictly a Cuban operation, being owned. ; ws by two Guban brothers named MARTIN and PEDRO@MIK, a Cuban named OSCAR (EGHEMENDIA and a Cuban named ARDURA, and there has. always been a strong, rivalry between it and the Sans Souci, both of which have gambling casins 9 a - Pe To date, ROTHMAN continues to operate the Sans Soucis however, \s at it appears that there still exists the possibility that the Sans Souci 4 gy p will be taken over by the Tropicana.
