He is an admitted friend of Joe Fischetti, who is prominent in what is left of the Capone mob, and he once made himself a lot of trouble by buddying up to Lucky Luciano in Havana -all of which is not to say that he mixes his pleasure with their business; Frankie is too smart for that.

...committee has cited 14 witnesses for contempt of Congress. Though the first test case, Harry Russell, was dismissed by Federal Judge F. Dickinson Letts, Kefauver hopes to do better with the rest. There are warrants out for the arrest of 17 others who failed to appear, including Guzik, Fischetti and Kleinman.
