FLORISSANT Tremendous Saving in an employer-supported Brooklyn medical clinic for 'ongshoremen and their families.

A new building is now being added to the clinic to double its facilities. But in his desire to become a respected leader of ttie working longshoremen, Anastasia has been thwarted. An air of menace clings to him, despite the fact that he has never been convicted of a felony. Although he has a police record dating from 1925, with arrests on charges ranging from assault to murder, there has been a pattern of reluctant or disappearing witnesses and he has been freed of every charge. Another drawback has been his violent temper.

In anger, his voice shrill and his hands waving, he has issued threats that made newspaper headlines. In recent years, since his control In Brooklyn became virtually absolute, these outbursts have often taken the form of warnings to his erstwhile superiors in the union to stay out of his borough, "or else!" Anastasia's personal life is simple. He lives with his daughter, his sonin-law, Anthony Scofcto, organizational director of Local 1814, and three grand more like a moderately prosperous neighborhood grocer or druggist than a powerful waterfront overlord. Despite his ordinarily mild appearance, however, he has managed in the last eight years to enlarge his holdings from the tiny barony of a small Brooklyn pier union local to the great dukedom of the Port of Brooklyn.

In the early stages of his career It was widely believed that his lack of opposition reflected the protection of his brother, Um-berto (Albert) Anastasia, reputed power in Murder the mob alleged to have killed 63 men between 1931 and 1940.

This view of Tony's dependency upon his brother has faded in the years since Albert was shot dead in 1957. If anything, Tony's moves became more daring. While there is no question that the over-all Anastasia notoriety and reputed connections with the Mafia have scared off many opponents, It is also true that Tony's own instinct for advancing at the opportune moment has been helpful.
