PP, Very good questions! Yes, Auippa & Cerone both had men direct with them. In addition, there were men with Ferriola (Cicero), DiFronzo (Elmwood Park), Lombardo (Grand Ave.), Torello (26th st.), DiBella (Rush St.), & Pilloto (Chicago Heights). Total number of active made men was probably around 60. Figure about 36 under the 6 Capos, 14 direct with Auippa & Cerone. That would be 50, then add the 6 Capos, Two Top Bosses and 2 Advisors and you have 60. There were probably 240 Soldiers who worked directly for the made men and then maybe 1,200 or so Associates who did business with the Outfit. This was during the years 1969 to 1986. Of course during this time, a couple of the Capos had died and were replaced etc. There were two kinds of Associates in this category. Street associates example: 25% bookies partnered with the crews, bar owners partnered with the crews etc.) and high level associates under the direct control of the Outfit. the Outfit has always been structured to have a lesser amount of made men and a higher number of associates. It's quality over quantity. You don't need a large number of men in the inner core to control things. In fact it's better that way.
