30yr run on top he went to jail for about8yrs thou 68 to 76 and came rite back to the boss chair. He was very close to vito genovese and other bosses around the country but wasnt very close to carlo gambino. Its in the file he doesnt trust gambino so much he recorded saying he plays to many games. He shares the national laborer union with chicago and did alot of business with other familys around the usa. From reading the files it sounds like he never wanted to get dragged into the politics of the 5families. He would meet with luchese alot the shared some racetrack in western ma and the genovese had a satelight family in ma an ct. Also ray waa inducted into the family by costello and transferd to bucculo/lombardo in boston in boston. He had anuff juice to induct 6 guys in 1956 and immediately transfer them to the genovese family as a favor to genovese capo icoonne who was locked up on tax irs stuff. He basically just ran the ceremony then sent them to the capo incharge in mass at the time
