MAGADDINO retorted that they only asked about him because of "POPS" (JOHN PAPALIA or one of the PAPALIA brothers) and "that other guy" (ALBERT AGUECI?),and the "other things in New York." MAGADDINO then began to discourse as to how this unman could testify by claiming inability to remember or recall, and by claiming to have met numerous people. He then asked when the investigation is to start, but the answer was not learned by the informant. The conversation then brought out the name of a newspaperman named (FNU) COLLINS, CARLS or CORLINS (PH) whom all present derided as being "bossy" and a "pig." - MAGADDINO then reverted to the possible testimony of unman who, according to MAGADDINO, could admit knowing MAGADDINO, but only casually and nothing of a derogatory nature. Later, when MAGADDINO commented that he was proud of the "family" he had raised, RANDACCIO asked in an apparently facetious manner which "family." MAGADDINO expressed disapproval of RANDACCIO's comment, RANDACCIO quickly added that MAGADDINO had done a good job with "poth families." MAGADDINO then related that his niece, age 55, who lives on Devoe Street (Brooklyn, New York), had been interviewed by the FBI regarding him. It was not clear to the informant from the above information whether PETE BROCIOTA and the unman who is apparently in the process of being subpoenaed to testify before a Canadian Inquiry Board are identical.

He stated that NASCA had become involved with Canadian Customs authorities due to smuggling merchandise into Canada in small quantities over a period of time and having been reported. CI was not aware of the disposition of this matter, but stated that NASCA was in extremely poor financial straits due to high attorney's fees. "The Chief" is believed to be identical to a Canadian gambler in the Ft. Erie, Ontario area and Buffalo sources are being con- tacted to fully identify him. Records of the Toronto, Canada Telephone Company showed on 5/21/64, that telephone number RO 9-2512 was originally issued to G. TARANTULA of 95 Ashburnham, Toronto. This same number was transferred to TARANTULA's current address of 64 Cordella Street, Toronto, on 4/28/64. The current Toronto City Directory lists a GUISEPPI TARANTA, a bricklayer,as residing at 6h Cordella Street. There is no record for TARANTULA or TARANTA in the records of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Department (MTPD) or the indices of the Buffalo Office. Information developed to date indicates that "DON SIMONE" mentioned by CI is possibly DOMINICK SIMONE, a well-known Toronto hoodlum and associate of JOHN PAPALTA, With reference to the JOSEPH FALCONE mentioned by RANDACCIO, it should be noted that BU 280-C* tentatively identified a visitor of STEVE MAGADDINO in the-morning and afternoon of 5/19/64 as JOSEPH FALCONE of Utica, New York. The Albany Office was telephonically contacted on 5/20/64, to ascertain, if possibly, the whereabouts of FALCONE on 5/19/64, and to determine if he is by chance known to be in the Buffalo or nearby Canadian areas. On 5/21/64, the Albany Office telephonically advised that FALCONE had been observed at his residence in Utica between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m. on 5/19/64. The information furnished by CI in this matter is being disseminated to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Toronto, on a confidential basis and with due care given to protecting the source.
