Later Newark reports from 1959 and 1960 track his residence and associates, his reported interest in the Greenwich Furniture Company, and the appeal and custody status following his 1959 narcotics-conspiracy conviction. The records also include FBI identification and criminal-history sheets, name-check material, and memoranda concerning the Top Hoodlum Program.
