on the 29th, DORIS FANELLI Complained to

BUTCH BLASI that a lot of her customers were going

out to "Orries" because "he told them all to go

out there."

It is assumed he is SAM GIANCANA.

In this regard, CG 6792-PC furnished information to

the effect that during the period that the Armory Lounge

was closed, SAM GIANCANA was utilizing the bar called

Orries as a hangout with his associates. (U)

BUTCH BLASI was then noted to place a

phone call to VINCE SOLANO; however, nothing of

pertinence was gleaned from this phone call. It is

noted that sOLANo is a close associate and

chauffeur

for Chicago Top Hoodlum ROSS PRIO. (U)

During the afternoon, GIANCANA was in and

was complaining about income taxes claiming that the

Government is checking his back to 1961.

He continued

"You got to add it all up real careful because you

got to figure they're always around. It used to be

you could go someplace and not figure they knew it,

but now the (obscene) are all around you. I always

check it all up.

I figured it in years to come I could

accumulate so much money, and in four or five years

(did not complete sentence).

This year I made

less and

paid

more. It used to be you made 50 and

keep it. "

Later CHUCK ENGLISH arrived and in a

conversation with an unknown individual began a

lengthy dissertation on the question of immunity. (v

ENGLISH:

I been arguing with my

son-in-law and a couple other

lawyers.

If this law is

passed what happens is there

is no more fifth amendment.

I don't care what no lawyer

tells me. I take the fifth

amendment no matter how much

immunity they give me.

Because taking the fifth

amendment you ain't gonna get

in no trouble. Open your

mouth and you don't know what
