SECURITY OF INFORMANTS

New York airtel to the Bureau and auxiliary offices, dated

5/16/66, set out certain suggestions regarding uniform reporting in

the Membership Section of reports prepared by auxiliary offices.

To the extent possible, New York's recommendations have been

followed with certain

exceptions, as explained below:

Milwaukee's report is set out alphabetically as to

members within the breakdowns of the several LCN families identi-

fied.

..This is done to avoid repetition after each member's name

is listed. Likewise, the best source is set out at the beginning

of the listing of members by familles.

T symbols, räther than informant symbol numbers

have been used in referring to the best source of membership.

In this regard Milwaukee's best source of all memberships is

MI 623-C-TE, who has been given I-l and T-2 symbols to further

identity in the listings of members.

It should also

be noted that this informant is probably the best source of the

Rockford, Illinois LCN family membership and in some instances

If MI 623-C-TE were to be identified as such in both Milwaukee

compromise and jeopardy of his personal safety, especially in

view of his close ties with members of the Rockford family and

his LCN membership and identity with the Milwaukee family. To

Iuther protect MI 623-C-TE, his identity under I symbols in

the details will not show that he is a member of the Milwaukee

family in view of possible dissemination of this report..

The initial period of instant report predates referenced

Milwaukee report, since some informant information received prior

to the date of referenced report was not available when that

report was prepared.

INFORMATION EXCLUDED FROM DETAILS OF REPORT

The following information is being set out in the

Administrative Pages of instant report to insure that the

Identity of MI 623-C_TE (MI T-I and MI I-2) is not compromised.

To report this information in the details along with the possi-

bility of dissemination of this report

, could logically compromise.

this informant.

Accordingly this information is of necessity

confined to the Administrative Pages.

This information is broken

down into sections to correspond with the manner it would other.

wise be set out in the details.

IV. CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES

Plot to "Hit" FRANK PETER BALISTRIERI

During the past year, MI T-l has reported a number of

VITO AIELLO,

in the Milwaukee LCN family, whoare extremely unhappy with the

one-man dictatorial rule of

this family by the boss, Frank peler

BALISTRIERI •

According to MI I-1, MARINO and the AIELLOs were

talking seriously of a "hit" on BALISTRIERI to get him out of

the way and have a turno (meeting) of the family membership

to select a new boss. Those three members were urging infor

mant to do the job on BALISTRIERI which informant declined to

have any part of and suggested that BALISTRIERI might go to

prison when sentenced (9/18/67) on his Federal income

conviction (BALISTRIERI was convicted 3/23/67, in USDC, SDI,

at Springfield, Illinois).

In most recent discussions, MARINO, the AIELLOS, and

several other disgruntled Milwaukee LCN members have been

talking in terms of a turno of the Milwaukee family members

to vote on ousting BALISYRIERI from his position as boss

rather than resort to violence to get BALISTRIERI out of the way.:

Regarding MI T-l's previously reported information

of 5/4/65, that AUGUST CHIAVEROTTI and WALTER "BLACKIE"

BROCCA,

Milwaukee hoodlums but not LCN members, had incurred the wrath

of FRANK PETER BALISTRIERI over business and financial matters

to the extent they feared for their lives, informant noted in

the past year that CHIAVEROTTI and BROCCA returned to Milwaukee

from the West Coast where they took refuge and obtained jobs.

Informant said that since returning to Milwaukee, they have

been seen with BALISTRIERI and apparently are no

longer in BALI-

STRIERI's disfavor.
