12 COSA NOSTRA MEN IDENTIFIED Raid In Buffalo, N.Y. Uncovers "Little Apalachin'" BUFFALO, N.Y. (CP - AP)-- City, state and federal authori- ties walked into a restaurant Monday night and arrested 36 men, including a dozen identi- fied in U.S. government hear- ings as members of the Cosa Nostra crime syndicate. Investigators called the gath- ering a "'little Apalachin." All were accused of consort- ing with known criminals and were freed on the order of city court judges, pending arraign- ment today. One of the men, police said, also was accused of second- degree assault in an attack on @ policeman. About 250 men were dining on roast beef and chicken in a first - floor banquet hall when police -- 15 Buffalo detectives, six FBI agents and two mem- bers of the state bureay of crim- inal investigation -- entered through an unlocked door. JOSEPH Di CARLD e « » From Youngstown Another 50 at the gathering-- including those best known to police -- were in a downstairs dining hall and slipped into a nearby liquor storeroom, lock- ing the door behind them, police said. They were not discovered until early today. Investigators said some of the more prominent figures in- cluded; Fredrico G. Randaccio, 59, of Buffalo, reputed "underboss" to stefano Magaddino, of nearby Lewiston. Magaddino has been identified at U.S. Senate crime hearings as a Cosa Nostra chief- tain in western New York and the Ohio Valley. He was not there. . James V. LaDuca, 55, of Lewiston, Magaddino's son-in- law and, police said, his repre- sentative at the gathering. Joseph DiCarlo, 56, of Buffalo, who police said recently re- turned here from the Youngs- town, Ohio, area. Pasquale Matarelli, 56, of Buf- falo, described as associated with Magaddino and DiCarlo. Daniel G. Sansanese, 32, of / Buffalo, reputed gambling lord. Joseph Fino, 52, and Nicholas Fino, 43, brothers from sub- urban West Seneca. Joseph was identified in 1963 as a section leader in the Buffalo Cosa Nos- tra. Nicholas has had at least 16 court appearances on. gam- bling charges, police said, and drew a one - year sentence for posession of bookmaking rec- _ ords last year. Roy Carlisi, 58, of Buffalo, who- kas been associated with various business ventures in the Buffalo area, police said. Published reports claim Ma- gaddino has extended operations to Toronto, but three Ontario police officials insisted Monday that the Mafia, the secret un- derworld society and its Cosa Nostra factional leaders, is not a factor in crime in Ontario. Police' said several of those arrested, including LaDuca and Carlisi, were among 65 men picked up by state police in a raid Nov. 14, 1957, on the Apa- lachin, N.Y., home of the late Joseph Barbara during an al- leged "crime convention." SIMILARITIES NOTED Investigators said the two meetings had other similarities. In both cases, no weapons were found, Large sums of cash were found, however, as much as $6,- 000 today. \ Police said many of the men tried to pay bail in cash. Under the law concerning "consort- ing', however, they needed the approval of a judge for their release. Neil J. Welch, special agent in charge of the FBI in Buffalo, said he had learned of the meet- ing through underworld sources a few hours before the raid. Monday, Inspector William Pilkinpton, head of the Metro- politan Toronto police morality squad said the Mafia is not active in the city, "We know some drugs have come into Metro from New York and some from Buffalo," he said, "But there is little evi- dence of drugs, which were imported into Canada, going out of Metro into the United States." Marijuana sold in Toronto, he said, did not originate from an organized syndicate. Deputy Chief Bernard Sim- monds of the Metro police said the Mafia has tried a number of times to get a foothold but po- lice have crushed their efforts, Assistant Commissioner Ho- ward Graham, head of the criminal investigation branch of ROY AS 36 NABBED IN RESTAURANT CARLISI . +» From Buffalo Mobsters the Ontario Provincial Police, also said the Mafia is not a factor in Ontario crime and there is no evidence of Mafia infiltration. The New York Times, in an article on the activities in Can- ada of the Mafia underworld network, says the highway route between Montreal and New York is one of North America's principal narcotics traffie routes. The article is the second of a two-part series of the Mafia organization. It quotes unidentified law-en- forcement agents as saying that millions of dollars of illicit drugs from European and Med- iterranean ports are smuggled annually into Montreal for over- land transportation to New York. The Times says a secondary route is from Toronto to Buf+ falo, N.Y., and Rochester, N.Y.

Dr. Shulman has commented outside the hearing on at least three cases in which he claims senior government officials in- terfered. Mr. Justice Parker told Dr. Shulman that some rules were set down when the hearing opened and "'you said publicly you didn't need a lawyer--that you were not the accused, that it is the government that is on trial."

"We suggest,"' the brief said, "that if steps. are taken to elimi- nate or further regulate and frustrate the right to strike in Ontario, or Canada, we will take the first major step toward un- dermining democracy." The ITU, with 59 locals in Canada representing 7,500 work- ers, said arbitration of new or succeeding agreements 'has only resulted in most inst in constant bitterness." "A voluntary agreement, even considered by both parties as unsatisfactory even after a strike, can be lived with, real- izing that both parties have a chance for correction the next time around." The ITU also opposed the use of court injunctions in labor dis- putes saying: "Suddenly the power and ma- jesty of the state is enlisted on the side of the employer, to pro- hibit the employees from dem- onstrating and requesting sup- port for their cause. | "Surely, admitting the right to strike, workers should be able to demonstrate and to en- list support of others without! being hampered in their effrts to do so and made to. look and feel like criminals." ' OPPOSITION - LEADER Diefenbaker (upper right) stands with .a group of MPs listening to thé speech from the throne in the Sen- ate chamber in Ottawa Monday. Governor- General Michener read the speech g the of the 27th Parliament. (CP Wirephoto) \ 4 OTTAWA (CP)--Parliament's longest session was delivered into history Monday and another launched with a high-piled plate of new legislation, immediately . criticized as old hat by the op- position. Senators and MPs gathered twice in the Senate chamber, first to see out the 250-day ses- sion just past, and later to seé the centennial session in. The session - opening throne speech, a 5,500-word document, forecast a variety of govern- ment legislation. Much of it was familiar from earlier disclo- * sures. It was read by Governor- General Michener. The list included bills on con- sumer affairs, corporations, housing, divorce, capital punish- ment, water resources, televi- vision, the Criminal Code, im- migration, unemployment instr? ance, coal mines, Indians, and a handful of other topics. Also promised were studies into the constitution; satellite television; agriculture; relation- ships of industry, labor and gov- ernment; safety standards; dis- semination of scientific and technological information; and urban development. WROTE 2 SPEECHES The government wrote both a throne speech proroging the first session of the 27th Parlia- ment since Confederation and carefully the best way to pro- ceed, then place the problem of constitutional development be- fore Parliament, the speech _ Said. It forecast, as expected, a de- partment of corporate and con- sumer affairs, with a special organization to assist the con- the sp ing its d session. The first duty fell to Mr. Jus- tice Gerald Fauteux of the Su- preme Court of Canada acting as a deputy to Mr. Michener, as royal assent was given to bills passed_in the dying days of the old session. Mr. Michener, arriving at Parliament Hill by limousine in- stead of open carriage due to the Ottawa rain, wore a stately silver and black uniform for his first throne speech since his ap- pointment last month. In alternate English and French, he traced the govern- ment's intentions in dealing with the thorny question of changing a constitutional structure in which "advantages and disad- vantages . . . are deeply inter- twined."" The government will study A sumer and protect the small in- vestor. The department will probably administer other new legisla- tion requiring fuller disclosure of information by federally-in- corporated companies. The government will submit bills for reform of the divorce laws and to abolish capital punishment. The speech hinted at Commons votes free of party lines"on both questions. A sweeping revision of the Criminal Code was also fore- cast. Officials 'said it would in- clude repeal of the ban on dis- tribution of birth control infor- mation and devices and changes in abortion law. Measures to control water use and combat its pollution will be introduced as a part of a new Canada Water Act. New Legislation Has Familiar Ring Three broadcasting moves will include a major bill regu- lating broadcasting privileges and responsibilities; provision for facilities for educational tele- vision, and study of satellite communications by a parlia- mentary committee. Immigration legislation will be revamped. Long-term loans will go to agricultural and fish- eries groups. A task force will study agriculture problems. A special study will be made on urban development. The government plans to broaden its area development and incentive program, improve the Unemployment Insurance Act, step up its manpower mo- bility and adult retraining pro- grams, and build up community development programs for In- dians «nd Eskimos. It plans new incentives to pro- mote industry in the north, to close out uneconomic coal mines in Nova Scotia. while creating new jobs, and to review pros- pects of establishing safety standards for automobiles and other areas of activity.
