Valachi Back in
Jail; Senate to
Continue Probe
WASHINGTON (UPI) - With
underworld informer Joseph Va
lachi back in his jail cell to
day Senate crime investigators
moved on to study criminal op
erations in cities outside his
New York habitat.
Detroit was scheduled as the
first focal point for the Senate
investigations s u b c ommittee.
Chairman John L. McClellan CD
Ark.) scheduled testimony from
Detroit Police Commissioner
George Edwards and a number
of his aides.
Testimony was scheduled for
10 a.m. edt.
Valachi tpstifipd Wednesday
that the Cosa Nostra syndicate
operated in Detroit. He said,
however, that he was "not fa
miliar" with operations there
and did not offer any estimate
as to how many Cosa Nostra
members were involved.
Before McClellan excused him
as witness, for the time being
at least, the stubby Cosa Nostra
alumnus, did estimate t h e
strength of Cosa Nostra families
in other cities.
Recounted Conversation '
Valachi also recounted a pri
son conversation which indicat
ed that the plush New York
night club, Copacabana, once
"belonged" to former gambling
boss Frank Costello.
Valachi gave the subcommit
tee a detailed list of American
cities where he said members
of the secret crime syndicate
were active. Conceding there
might be others, he asked sen
ators to "call me some more
cities.
Besides the 2,000 members he
has said exist in New York City,
Valachi mentioned these others:
PhiiaHolnhia. 100 members;
Boston, 18 to 20; Chicago, 150;
Cleveland, about 40; Los An
geles, about 40; Tampa, Fla.,
about 10; Newark, N. J., about
100; Buffalo, N. Y., 100-125;
Utica, N. Y., about 40 to 100,
and a few in New Orleans, La.
He also said Cosa Nostra was
active in San Francisco.
At the end of Wednesday's
hearing, McClellan said the sub
committee would question Va
lachi behind closed doors on a
number of murder cases still
under active investigation. Va
lachi probably will be recalled
to testify publicly, McClellan
said.
Learned Of Ownership
Valachi said he learned from
Cosa Nostra boss Vito Genovese
while they were cellmates at the
Atlanta, Ga., federal peniten
tiary that Costello owned the Co
pacabana. Two other Cosa Nos
tra members made $30,000 in
one year from the club's hat
checking concession, he said.
Valachi also disclosed that he
once owned a small interest
with a friend in Havana's Ca
pri gambling casino. He said
they were forced out when Cuba
Premier Fidel Castro upped
their annual rent from $25,000
to $50,000 and demanded half
the profits.
The mobster turncoat testi
fied that he personally set up
the 1952 murder of another un
informer. Eueene Gi-
annini, on orders of his angry
r'nca Mnctra hnSRps. i
Valachi, reputed to have a
$100,000 gangland price tag on
his head, said it cost the oper
ators of a dice game where Gi
annini worked $10,000 to have
his body removed from the gam
bling site where he was slain.
"Isn't it worth $10,000 to get
rid of a guy like that?" Valachi
said he asked the complaining
gamblers.
