           A Philadelphia informant who is  being developed in connection
with  the Top EchelonCriminal  Informant Program  reported that on the
week end  of May 5, 1962, he went to New York  City with John Cavelli,
a Philadelphia  hoodlum, and spent the week-end  at the home of
Dan Cherito.

           Informant stated that a meeting  took place at Cherito's
residence on  May 6, 1962, which was attended  by ten individuals,
including Phil  Testawho  is Bruno's chief  lieutenant, who controls
BrunotsPhiladelphia   numbers operation.  The  informant was not permitted
to enter the  room where the meeting took place.   Informant pointed out
that aside  from himself, Testa, and Cavelli,  the remaining persons
were all  from New York Citywith  the exception  of two from Boston.
Informant was  introduced to a Henry Noise,  and later identified a
photograph  of Henry Selvitella as being identical  with the individual
introduced to  him as Noise.  Selvitella is  a Boston rackethr.

           Iformant  related that Cavelli did  not indicate to him the
purpose of the  meeting, but did tell~him that  he wished hih to accompany
him (Cavelli)  in the near future on a trip to New  York City in 4 der
to deliver  a.large sum of money.

          The  informant stated that in his opinion, 'he  New York
meeting had  something to do with Bruno's Philadelphia  numbers operation

penetrate the  operation of Brunowho  is the leader  of thjjta  ian ---
mob in that city.
