     SAMUEL  MANNARINO                            _

          The  above individuals are targets  for early prosecu-
tion under  the crash program.  Both Mannarinos  are netoriou
hoodlums  from the Pittsburgh area.

          Departmental  at or eys in Miami have  requested that the
Bureau interview  Joseph R*erola,   a top jewel  thiet.- and hoodlum
currently residing   n M~ig,     4 source of  information conerifog
tieMKannFarnos.   The Departme&A  Ltorneys  have indicated there is
a possibility  that Merola is willing to  tell what he knows con-
cerning the  Mannarinos.  We have talked  to Merola on several
occasions 'in the past.  While he has not been  cooperative, the
Bureau has  long recognized that if he were  willing he could give
voluminous  information not only on the Mannarinos  but on many
other criminal  matters.


          SAs Forsyth  and Portella of the Pittsburgh  Division
have in the past  interviewed Merola, who has indicated  that he
has confidence in  these Agents.  Both these Agents  are thoroughly
familiar with all  the ramificationsof  the Mannarino  cases as
well as other matters  about which Merola could be  expected to
furnish information.   In order to fully develop-this  potential,
SAS Forsyth and Portella  of Pittsburgh have been  instructed to
interview Merola-in  Miami and develop all information  in his
possession.  This  interview will not require these  Agents to b
away from Pittsburgh  more than two days.
