Dallas at one point in the 50s asked the Commission if they could make new members and were turned down for some reason. Probably a big reason they died out so quick, but obviously they would’ve died out quickly anyway due to the small recruitment pool.
Civello ended up making a number of guys in the 1960s. No idea what the politics were.
Other examples of mid-to-late 1960s inductions:
- Stephen Trifiro in SF, ~1965
- Dominick Rugnetta in Philadelphia, 1965
- Joseph Todaro in Buffalo, 1968
Probably others.
Trifiro and Rugnetta were the only candidates at their respective ceremonies and Todaro was the only one reported to have been made, too.
From January to May 1965 Rockford LCN made four guys.
Seems like the Commission may have approved select non-NYC inductions beginning in January 1965. When they opened their own books in the 1970s it was also in January, so maybe they planned these things to coincide with the new year.
Rugnetta's induction was mid-January 1965. Just checked, and Trifiro was made in December 1965.
In 1963 Nick Bianco (who hadn't yet transferred to the Colombos) was recorded talking to Ray Patriarca and requested that Patriarca induct associates from the Gallo faction into the NE family, but Patriarca said the books were still closed. Bianco himself had been inducted in the early 1960s. Ray DeCarlo was also recorded talking about how the Philly family had violated the Commission ruling on inductions by inducting members in 1962, though they were given a pass.
On the Magaddino tapes, a discussion with Bonanno members indicates that Joe Notaro traveled to Canada in the early 1960s and inducted Bonanno members in Canada without Commission approval. At the time, the Montreal members were likely still part of Notaro's decina. It appears these members were grandfathered into the organization but from later info the post-Bonanno leadership may not have been fully aware of them. This was a different issue entirely, though, as they were members of an NYC family and the books were closed in 1957.
