At the juncture of the common wall this pipe, less its fins, penetrates from LEATH's apartment through the common wall which is approximately 14" thick at this point into an area apparently inside a similar hood covering in ALEX's apartment. Using a osa" with a glass tube penetrating through the common wall; reception of the e ringing of ALEX's telephone gave indication that an installation of this type could. be successful in picking up voices in ALEX's apartment. Should this imtallation be approved, a 24 guage -two-conductor cable would be led from the:microphone and led westward along the window wall inside the hood previously mentioned. The hood terminates at LEATH's west wall and it is believed that the baseboard could be pried back sufficiently to accept the cable which would have to run approximately 18 feet to a point where it could enter a fi@sh-nounted— telephone outlet. This outlet has a six pafYr’cable, one pair which is used for LEATH's service. This cable terminates in 'a wire closet on the ninth floor, one floor beneath apartment of ALEX, and it is anticipated that a leased line service can be secured to the Chicago Office consolidated plant without - charge. Inasmuch as the afore-mentioned service, of necessity, had to be conducted when ALEX's apartment was empty, the quality of a misur on this target will not be: determined until the installation would be accomplished, ‘Should authorization be received, LEATH will not in any way be apprised of the fact that a technical operation has been installed and that the conductor passes through his apartment. ; . It is recommended that the Bureau authorize Chicago / to install a misur of ALEX in the manner indicated above. GALE Docld: 3229273058 Page 3

HW 45679 aY 4 CG 92-373 EWA :cah Informant learned from FRANK FRATTO that ALEX was being reduced in stature in the outfit primarily because he is not of Italian extraction. ALEX has held a high position in outfit activities and has been capable. Two years ago the outfit considered reducing ALEX's position; however, FRANK FERRARA, who has always been close to ALEX, prevented his being lowered in position. In conversation with HELENE AMATO, wife of JOE AMATO, informant remarked that ALEX was a big man in the outfit and HELENE stated he was, but he is not any longer. -FRATTO told informant that concerning their moving into activities in Du Page County, that ALEX will not be in charge of same but that someone else will be taking his place, FRATTO indicated that informant will be placed in a good position in connection with their interest in that county. - .On October 1, 1964, informant stated he had learned from HELENE AMATO that TONY ACCARDO has expressed a concern for what GUS ALEX might know regarding the activities of the Italian element in the outfit. ACCARDO and associates feel that ALEX has been extremely loyal and capable performer for him, however, he is not of Italian extraction and cannot be considered close to them, They are aware that ALEX was extremely close to FRANK FERRARA and do not know what FERRARA might have told him regarding their activities. ALEX is. being demoted in his position but exactly where this brings him has presented a problem according to HELENE AMATO. CG 6756-C advised on October 15, 1964, that he was told by FRANK FRATTO and HELENE AMATO, wife of JOSEPH AMATO, that he should forget about his relation- ship with GUS ALEX, in that GUS ALEX is being demoted in his position in the outfit. - F* - COVER PAGE Docld: 322937474 Page 5
