Carriagn in New Orleans:

By commaniention dated 10-18-63, the New Orleana Office

related that an informant, one Trani liegeman, a public relations man

with a notorioas reputation for passing bad checks and associating with

Tarlous gambling figures, was contacted on 8-16-63. Daring thia

interview, he stated that Willand Robertsos, a prominent and wealthy

New Orleans businasaman, was ourrently supporting John Mci either,

a Lostsians guberastorial canikiate in the state Demoeratic primary.

Robertson reportedly had been extremely active in local New Orleans

pollties and had raised large sums of mosey for previous political

campaigns, particularly that of Mayor Vietor Schiro. Bogeman

attribnted these politieal activities to Robertaon'e destre for a good

Gove rument.

Negeman further stated that Robertson had recontly learned

that MicKelthen was being actively backed by Carlos Marcello, a Jefferson

Parish racketoer, who was attempting to raise campaign funds by

promising contributors influence in vartous state appolntments. I was

carrently fell in polltieal circles that If Robertson were to withdraw hia

support, Mekelthen would stand little chance of election. Among thoes

reportedly Interested in removing Robertson as the backer of Meltelthen

was Valted Stetes Senator

Marcello'a support of Mekalthen rather than that of candidate Speedy Long,

favored by Senator Long. Speedy Long was regarded as the Democratie

admindst ratton candidate and was considered the choice of the nattonsl

Democratie Party.

Flegenan advised that ll MeKelthen were elocted Govert
