His alleged wife was ordered de- ported on July 16, 1930, also on a narcoties charge, | "On November 20, 1947, Mr. PINDILLI was deported _ to Italy on the SS'Marine Perch'. He submitted to this office an application for permission to reapply for ad-~ mission into the United States after deportation, This application was denied on July 14, 1960, | "With reference to your request for copies of the pertinent decisions, regulations make copies avail- able on a loan basis to the Attorney of Record only during the pendency of the proceedings. | "We trust that this is a satisfactory response to your inquiry." 7 _ The effort on the part of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, Washington, D, C3, on behalf of PINDILLI, A5-223-148, for an application of readmission for PINDILLT was turned down ' at this point by INS, exercising their semi~judiciary powers. _-HILL advised that the complete file on PINDILLI is maintained in Cleveland, Ohio, and would no longer be located at St. Paul, Minnesota, where it had been located at one time. it is felt by the Cleveland Division that PINDILLI, who is now.77 years of age, would no longer be a threat to law enforcement in the United States and especially since he is in declining health and. could be controlled by GV 344-c, It is also felt that-if arrangements could be made discreetly through Bureau liaison with the State Department . and/or INS at Washington, D. Cj, for the re-entry of PINDILLI into the United States on a visitor's visa, specific information as to the present structure of the La Cosa Nostra can be obtained Additionally, it should be noted that CV 344-c stated that his father would unquestionably be able to determine details con- cerning such items as the CAVALLARO killing, the killing of the. ‘\ NAPLES brothers in Youngstown, and the VINCE DE NIRO killing e i ¥ ' it Docld: 32304663 Page 3 -3- . ;
