LEADS

MIAMI

AT BEL AIRE, FLA.

1.

Will spot check the residence of LA ROCCA at

this location in an effort to determine whether it is

occupied and whether any vehicles bearing Pennsylvania

registrations are in the Immediate neighborhood.

It

should be noted that informants have advised that

LA ROCCA returned to Pittsburgh during the second week

of April, 1964, but may have left someone living in his

house.

Will review all toll calls made from the

LA ROCCA residence at Bel Aire

and will set them

forth for proper identification.

PITTSBURGH

AT PITTSBURGH, PA. (ALLEGHENY COUNTY)

1.

Will follow and report the activities of LA ROCCA

in accordance with Bureau instructions and will specifi-

cally attempt to develop new sources of information

which will be able to give an even more complete coverage

of these activities.

In relation to the aforementioned lead, will

specifically attempt to develop intensive coverage

at the Mikfon Jewelry Company in the East Liberty

section of Pittsburgh, at which location MIKE GENOVESE

and underlings of the

LA ROCCA - GENOVESE organization

are alleged to hold meetings on a periodic basis.

ADMINISTRATIVE

JOSEPH TOPOLINO, former maintenance man at

the Bel Aire, Fla., residence of JOSEPH REGINO, has been

contacted by

Bureau Agents of the Miami Office, and he

appears willing to cooperate by furnishing information

concerning REGINO and LA ROCCA. He has advised that

he comes from Johnstown,

pa. s

at which location he

operated

a beer distributorship which failed. He came

to Florida at the Invitation of REGINO and he and his:

wife lived

at the REGINO residence for a few years.

TOPOLINO was separated from his wife and moved out of

the residence about one year ago, but he still sees

her periodically..

He said that his wife, although not

related to the REGINO family, remains loyal to the

family members.

TOPOLINO advised that about six months ago,

REGINO accused him of stealing some tools and struck

him in the face.

He did not retaliate because he did

not wish to get

into trouble, but he has no loyalty

to REGINO. He advised that under no circumstances

will he ever testify to anything he says and he does

not wish his contacts with the FBI to become known

He will furnish whatever information he

can but admitted that this will be limited.

Information furnished by TOPOLINO appears

in this report under a T symbol but it was deemed

advisable to identify him more

fully in the adminis-

trative section.

SA ROBERT A. VOEGE, who has handled the

LA ROCCA Investigation since its initiation following

the conference at Apalachin, New York, was assigned

to the Bureau Applicant Program at Johnstown, Pa.,

from 1/15/64, through 4/24/64. Because of this,

the

period of this report has been extended longer than

usual.

The investigation has been kept current,

however, through numerous interoffice communications

and through extensive informant coverage which has

pinpointed the location of LA ROCCA on an almost

daily basis.
