LINK

Canada

59-11

LINK has been the subject of previous

correspondence between us,

most

recently in

connection with his association

with the prominent

U.S. gambler Gilbert Lee BECKLEY.

LINK is, of

course, a prominent racket figure in this

country

and is

presently operating out of Vancouver, BoC canadA

LINK's most recent venture is the Hilton Carpet

Contractors Lta., a high pressure

rug sales outfit

operating in the

home improvement rackets area.

The Hilton firm is known to be presently active

in British Columbia and Alberta.

During enquiries

into the Hilton operation we have noted the presence

of at least two former Chicago criminals

Leslie

PLANTING,

FBI #987869, and Morris KERNESS.

Both

of these

individuals have also

been the subject

of correspondence between us.

₴963, 1V .

The Saturday Ivening Post of November 9,

carried an article entitled "Crime in America,

On page 26 in a paragraph headed "They

Can't Understand", mention

is made of a Felix

ALDERISIO and his

involvement with the sacking of

a Chicago firm,

Hilton Carpets.

In view. of the

similarity of the name of the

latter firm and

coupled with the presence of Chicago

LINk's outfit anada, the thought occurs that there

criminals in

nay possibly be a connectionfel

We would very much appreciate

any infor-

mation the Bureau might be able to obtain regarding

Hilton Carpets in Chicago, including incorporation

details, officials,

and any other persons, particularly

from the criminal element, who may be involved.

GatIones,

insp.,.

in Charge,
