I don't think L.A. ever answered to the Luchesses. In NY They made a big deal over Bonnano trying to send a crew there. I don't think the Luchesses were bigger in Cali than the Outfit/Geneovese. They basically split the race wire action. Chicago wholesale engaged in extortion of all the movie studios.

Plus there was the Mexico rackets. Luchesse in the 40s was importing opium from Mexico though,...

St Louis seemed close to the Partinico faction of Detroit. As well as KC and NO, Coppola had influence with these four families.....
