He had a key. Gurera was in a parked car at the curb. Officers said the pair were there to pick up a "monthly tax" from the operator of the gambling establishment. Both reportedly work for Frank Balistrieri, 45, Milwaukee, who state crime investigators say controls vice, gambling and businesses in Milwaukee. State reports show he is connected with other Midwest gang chiefs.

Some Chicago mobsters tied to Milwaukee include such well-known underworld figures as Felix "Milwaukee Phil" Alderisio, Albert "Obbie" Frabotta, and Americo DePietto. DePietto Sentenced Here DePietto was sentenced from Kenosha Municipal Court on Aug. 17, 1954, to a one to 10-year term in the state prison at Waupun for his role in the $150,000 Oscar Zerk robbery. He was charged with assault- with intent to rob or murder. A sentence, concurrent, was added for possession of the loot.

Other Chicago underworld characters linked to Milwaukee include Sam "Teetz" Battaglia and Charles "Chuck" English. They have met with Balistreri and others in a Milwaukee restaurant and were observed by Milwaukee authorities. Steve DeSalvo Involved in the dealings between the two groups was the horse race betting operation, including rights to control gambling in Antioch, 17 miles southwest of Kenosha. Dealers from this state were sent to work near Antioch and this led to a charge in May, 1961, by U.S. Attorney General Robert F.

Kennedy that Kenosha was a "training ground" for gamblers. Local officials lashed back at Kennedy and said the charge was groundless. The Milwaukee group gave up the Illinois territory when a federal law was enacted banning interstate transmission of gambling data.
