ADMINISTRATIVE (continued)

authorities relative to the recent arrest of the subject

GRAZIANO stated that GRANELLO

and his associates are

for Attempted Extortion"all washed up" and he, GRAZIANO,

has

, "nothing to do with them".

The informant was of the opinion that GRAZIANO

remains in close association with CRANeLLo and is skeptical

concerning the reports that GRAZIANO will testify against

GRANELLO.

The informant added that he expects/BRANELLO

will endeavor to "fix" the charges against him.

The informant further commented that several years

ago GRAZIANO expected to develop a system whereby commercials

would be played on juke boxes.

However, this prospect did

not materialize, but the informant believes that GRAZIANO

expected to develop this set up with IRVING HOLZMAN, the

victim of Attempted Extortion by GRANELLO.

Due to the sensitive nature of the foregoing

information and the fact that it is mostly conjecture on

the part of the informant, this information has not been

included in the details of this report.

On 8/14/64, NY 4317-8

advised that he heard from

PETE PETRELLA that the subject owes his life to ROCKY

CRAZIANO. The informant is of the opinion that GRAZIANC

has probably made arrangements for a "fix" in the subject's

pending income tax case.

On 8/24/64, NY 4461-C advised SA PAUL G. DURKIN

that he has not seen

the subject in the recent past,

but

was told that GRANELLO is not at all worried about his

arrest for Attempted Extortion in Nassau County, NY.

According to the information received by the informant,

arrangements have been made to take care of the matter for

the subject.
