Thats another interesting thinking Snakes, since during the mid 1950's when Battaglia took over from DeGrazia, his "outfit" was formed by many high profile mobsters such as Alderisio, Nicoleti, Frabotta, Caifano, Pranno, Salvatore,etc.(maybe i forgot someone) and that is why by the early 1960's, many members from that crew were fighting each other and broke off to several other crews.
