When.Were the books closed on making new members? The early 60s?
After Appalachian went down Scalish became even more secretive with dealings.
His relucant to.go.into the skimming of Vegas is new to me.

Scalish's power was evident in the unions and locals. He had a real lucrative
Racket with the vending machines in Cleveland.
He had health issues dating back to the late 30s. I dont think he wanted to
Make any new members cause he had enough stress with his health issues.

The older he got the less chances he wanted to.take on as a mafia chieftan.
Alot of guys like Moceri And Cisternimo wanted to expand in shylocking and sports
Betting and Scalish said no. Brings too much heat from the authorities
