Thats right @Turnbull.

Heres how the line of succession regarding the non-Ital rep or official position went down...Guzik-Humphreys-Alex, although later or by 1972 Alex received even higher position next to Accardo and Aiuppa, as one of the top three leaders...THREE Outfit informants stated the same thing...

And the second file is regarding the acting boss (Battaglia) attending a meeting regarding Alex succeeding the late Humphreys, which again means that these guys had a official position on the Outfits board of directors, which obviously was elected by the two groups aka the non-Itals and the leading Italian group...

In addition there is another file but i have tough time finding it, in which one informant allegedly stated that old time Capone boss Eddie Vogel and his protege Red Larner were allegedly also two of the main candidates to replace Humphreys (possibly two of the unknown individuals on that same meeting) but Vogel was already old and wanted to retire in California, while Larner was preparing to leave the country, and so Vogel allegedly gave Alex a pass to receive that same position and also gave him jurisdiction over almost all of his (Vogels) vending machine ops and companies such as the Apex Cigarette Service Inc., Ajax Phonograph Company, the Deluxe Cigarette Service Inc, General Smokers Cigarette Service Inc., Preferred Cigarette Service and the infamous Apex Zenith Vending Company, and all additional political and business connections.
