Bureau letter to Los Angeles, 12/21 es Los Angeles letter to Bureau, 12/26/61 Los Angeles airtel to San Francisco, 1/4/62. It is felt by the Los Angeles Division that interviews with SCHEIB and KAVNER should only be con- ducted after all of the allegations in this matter have been investigated. It is noted that LA 4350 advised that KAVNER is shrewd, and probably got money to pay off his loan at the Erie Bank through a mortgage on his. house or another loan, and is probably paying off the indebtedness incurred in this latter financing with money he obtained out of the SCHEIB deal. The St. Louis Division is presently conducting investigation on this phase of the allegation regarding any loans on KAVNER's property, although it has been previously reported that KAVNER paid off the loan with part of the stock he put up as collateral. To date, the Los Angeles Division has not been able to show that KAVNER put up any stock as — collateral for a loan which had not previously belonged A ° Mm. ‘3 - Bureau (62-4679) (Info) ~ San Francisco - 9) (Info 1 - St. Louis (62-4193) (Info) geOr 19 6S~ THe — oP, 1 ~- Los Angeles (an & we Jan a8 saa S od cbs 7 aw’ a . f ft edt 30195 .

t if } 1 { | ( im | i { \ i in ‘ |: i LA 62-5111 The alleged flight by KAVNER and SCHEIB to San Francisco will only be able to be verified upon inter-= view with SCHEIB and through the cooperation of SCHEIB to make his records available. ANTHONY DORIA's financial situation during the past year does not appear to be one of grandeur, although any "payoff" made to him on the SCHEIB deal could have come after the foreclosure proceedings on his house, Mortgage payments being made by NICK NARDI on the property formerly in DORIA's name are being traced at this time. It has been ascertained that the transfer of SCHEIB workers from Local 886, International Workers Federation of Labor, as their bargaining agent, to Teamsters Local 495, took place as of 9/1/61 through interviews with SCHEIB employees and former employees. These employees were aware of this transfer, even though they may have been ignorant as to their rights in the matter. The "TONY" as mentioned by LA 4350, has been identified as COSMO ANTHONY TUCCELLI,.the night bartender at Delmonico's Restaurant, which is owned by SCHEIB. TUCEELLI could be involved as a middleman in payoffs by SCHEIB to KAVNER, but it has previously been reported that SCHEIB knew DORIA as far back as 1954; therefore, it is unlikely SCHEIB got involved with DORIA through TUCCELLI. The Los Angeles Division is presently checking EARL SCHEIB's personal and business bank accounts, tax return of Delmonico, Inc. for 1960 (when available), tracing telephone calls which took place during the period of the alleged dealings, and is attempting to ascertain a connection between SCHEIB and TUCCELLI regarding the current allegations. Alsajugh,it is felt that investigative results obtained from contemplated techniques to be used in Los Angeles file 92-745, entitled "ANTHONY DORIA", may very well assist materially in bringing captioned case to a logical conclusion, At the present came ene Department of Labor is conducting an audit of Local 886, and the results of this audit will be made available to the Los Angeles Division. ~2e + AW 45827 DoclId:32310374 Page 3
