YOUR SOUND-TRAINED AGENTS SHOULD CONSIDER THESE POINTS IN EVALUATING THE: POTENTIAL COVERAGE IN THIS CASE. NOTE: Philadelphia Sound-trained Agents have appointment with telephone company informants at noon Friday, to discuss gaining . access to the target area.

JIANNARELLA is known to be a member of La Causa Nostra. ANGELO BRUNO is known to be his superior in La Causa’Nostra.

Behind this wall is a a small room where BRUNO has recently held a series of meetings? Through contact with the telephone company at the time the public telephone was installed at 742 Christian Street, :an extra pair of wires was run and terminate inside‘of the ~ telephone instrument. These wires are presently unconnected.

The Philadelphia Division could be informed of this complaint. When the phone would need servicing, it is believed this would present a suitable pretext to exchange complete i instruments whereby a misur could be installed utilizing the extra wires presently terminating in the telephone instrument. Tt is requested that the Electronics Section advise the Philadelphia Division if they could alter a pay phone in such a fashion that it would not be obvious to a telephone company employee who might later service this phone. For information, it is to be noted that iftthe above is technically feasible, the installation will have to be made under pretext ot by sound trained Agent. Accordingly, complete instructions as to the method of making the installation would be needed. The Philadelphia Division believes they can obtain a public phone for the Bureau to alter in the event the alteration is possible. The above is to obtain technical advice from the Laboratory and in the event it is proven to be feasible technically, the Philadelphia Division will submit appropriate request for the Bureau to make this installation. It should be noted that ANGELO BRUNO is a member of the Criminal Commission | and has national prominence and this possible source would be extremely valuable particularly since the loss of the partial potential off PH 623-c*. Sound Agents have an appointment for noon Friday with telephone company contact to pursue the above-described _-| Situation. In the event the Laboratory desires that specific aan information be obtained from:this telephone company contact, it is requested that they notify the Philadelphia Division prior to date of the appointment.
