vase LA 92-1039A appearances at the Villa Venice, The use of SINATRA's house at Palm Springs for assigations with PHYLLIS MC GUIRE, accompanying of SINATRA recently in Acapulco, and during the past season at Cal-Neva having JOHNNY FORMUSA present at Cal-Neva Lodge with apparently a great deal to say in its operation. Chicago sources have advised of GIANCANA's dis- appointment in SINATRA's apparent inability to get the administra- tion to tone down its efforts in the anti-racketeering field. On at least two occasions during past years, SINATRA has been in Atlantic City, and taking over the floor of one of the major hotels has had a number of prominent hoodlums such as BONANNO of Phoenix, FISCHETTI of Miami, GIANCANA and others in attendance with ali local hotel help barred from the floor. SINATRA is an owner of considerable points in the Sands Hotel, Las Vegas, and at present is about a 100% owner of Cal-Neva Lodge at Lake Tahoe. In interviews concerning this ownership, he has maintained he is the owner in fact as well as of record, that he represents no one other than himself and that GIANCANA is someone he recalls meeting at an aiyort and he has no connection other than as an entertainer keeping himself before the public. Confidential sources tend to furnish information to the contrary. In December, 1961, Chicago advised GIANCANA was having DEAN MARTIN hold ten days open for an engagement for @IANCANA, In the fall of 1962, SINATRA, MARTIN, SAMMY DAVIS, JR, and EDDIE FISHER, apparently through SINATRA, made what can only be termed a command performance at the Villa Venice Supper Club outside of Chicago. Las Vegas sources indicated FISHER did not want to go and had a contractual commitment with the Desert Inn which hotel apparently did not dare protest the broken contract, and hurried about to fill the open entertain- ment date left by FISHER, A gambling joint a short distance from the supper club apparently saw big action before being stopped. -2- ea Me pamees cape enn mm a Dita ee ee ee
