He stated that this construction job was operated out of a

in the squirrel Hill Section of Pittsburgh. He said that

FIOR GENOVESE, youngest

brother of Apalachin attendee

MIKE GENOVESE ,

has again

assumed operation of the Red

PG T-3 has advised that the top racket men in the Pittsburgh,

their meetings or conferences, but that a number of social

that this is open to the public, with

certain limitations.

The aforementioned informant advised that during a

conversation with MIKE GENOVESE he was advised that JOSEPH

PECORA managed the Jockey Club at Chester, W. Va., during

and is considered the lieutenant of GABRIEL MANNARINO.

The informant said that one MICHAEL CAPIZZI, 1s also employed

According to the informant,

this individual is an understudy

a horse bet is the Red Eagle Lounge at 412 Larimer Avenue.

He did not think that there were any other horserooms in

operation in the Pittsburgh area.
