AUSA BAER was advised that PLUMERI was in New York on the critical date, but that the informant was not available to testify to this fact. On November 20, 1963, AUSA BAER advised that he had learned that PLUMERI was possibly in Florida at the present time, and, therefore, was violating the terms of his bail. He requested that an attempt be made to determine if PLUMERI was in fact out of New York City. Contact with NY 3936-C on that date reflected that PLUMERI is presently in Florida. AUSA BAER was advised that the subject is presently in Florida, and he advised that he sent a telegram to the subject's residence, 4OO East 59th Street, New York City, ordering him to appear on November 22, 1963, or forfeit his bail. NY 3842-c advised that he has been in contact with , RUBY VMLKOWER.

JALKOWER stated \ that the debt has long been paid off, but that he has been. unable to break away from the subject. The informant subsequently advised that JALKOWER has been attempting to sell buttons at approximately 25% under the manufacturers! cost price. The buttons are a standard blouse-type button, which is in constant demand, and, there- fore, over the years has established a firm price, The informant advised that JALKOWER could only sell at this price for two reasons. Either the buttons are stolen, or he is anticipating a bankruptcy proceeding, and is attempting to reduce inventory by cash sales. The informant will continue to develop information in this regard.
