ADMINISTRATIVE

On numerous occasions during he summer of 1963

advised

SA VILLIAM A. VERICKER that FRANK FC GUIRE 1S 3936-C

Greenwood Lake, NY.

NY 3936-C further stated that

HERBERT ITKIN, an attorney, and the subject are assisting

MC GUIRE in an endeavor to to obtain a mortgage for this

establishment.

In view of the closeness of the informant to this

matter, it is felt that nothing would be gained iron

interview of either GRANELLO or ITKIN

and might possibly

compromise this informant.

The

files of the NYO Division failed to reflect any

information identifiable with JAY ROSENBLATT, 446 Nest 55th

St., NYC, King and Barnes, 1400 2nd Ave., NYC or VINCENT VOLIE.

The current telephone directories for the Greater Miami,

*Lorida area, reilect that Je 8-8716 1s listed to the bolivar

noted, 140 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, Fla.

It is not believed

practicable to attempt to determine what individuas at the

Bolivar Hotel was called from the telephone of NANCY GRANELLO.

The infomation rectived from the Southern Bell Telephone

and Telegraph Company, Miami Beach, Florida, was obtained

from Mrs. LORRAINE

ETTER by IC ROBERT JOHN

SCHAMAY.

On 8/19/63, AL 3050-PC was recontacted in regard to the

subject. The informant advised that three of four weeks

ago, he received a telephone call from JOIE KAUFMAN, in which

KAUFMAN told him that he was then at JIMMY BARONE's, Murray's

Inn, Fuller Rd., Colonie, NY.

AL 3050-PC further stated

that he proceeded to Murray's Inn at which time he joined

Italian, who was with

KAURIAL, SRANELLO and a dar colDlexionedEood 100k1na young

• GRANELLO and whose name was

(last name unknown).

The informant stated that KAUFMAN

identified "Tony" to him as GRANSLLO's bodyguard. AL 3050-PC

further advised that KAUrMAN, GRANELLO, TONY and

KAUFMAN's

wife had driven to Albany, NY, apparently because KAUFMAl's wife,

MARGIE, who is a choreographer, had to rehearse the chorous

girls taking part in the floor

show at Murray's Inn.

club in the summer

The informant advised that KAUFMAN is of Jewish-italian

extraction, in that his mother is an Italian and his father

of Jewish ancestory. He further stated that KAUFMAN is desperate

for money since

he owes $1300.00 for rent.

of this information might possibly tend to compromise
