RAMON BRAVO, PCI, on 1/19/62, advised that MAX

EDER (Miami file 92-407), runs the card room in the fontaine-

bleau Hotel, Miami,Beach; that he directs its operations and

has issued

specific instructions no money is to be displayed

in the card room where usually poker, gin and pinochle goes

on. He pointed out that EDER's front man there is one ABBY

MC DONALD, who is almost deaf, an alcoholic and feeble.

BRAVO also related that RAY VIDI acts as EDER's chauffeur

and that JOHN NASH,

a security officer at the Fontainebleau

Hotel, acts as EDER's bodyguard. In addition he made avilable

a telephone number from which bookmaking bets are made from

the card room.

MM 665-C on 1/25/62, advised that he learned the

tor called "MAC" who was employed by RICHARD GERSTEIN's State

date, but that TOURINE has a piece of NESLINE's dice and

gambling operation in Washington, D. C. He also learned that

Gambling Casino, before CASTRO took over Cuba, is presently

visiting in Miami and in contact with TOURINE.

source also furnished the names of some

contracts obtained by the National Plastering Co., Miami,
