this tax matter for CARUSO without any fee from

CARUSO •

CG 6443-C-TE advised SA ROBERTS on April 1, 1966,

that during a recent conversation with a close friend of

ALEX, he had learned that one of the primary concerns on

the part of ALEX in connection with a subpoena received

was the fact that ALEX's New York dealings and his

connections with union officials might become known.

In this regard informant stated that ALEX has for

several years exercised a dominent influence in New York

union matters concerning hotels, motels, bartenders, and

related fields of endeavor.

It was stated that ALEX's

influence is a direct result of his friendship with JAMES R.

HOFFA and his association with ALLAN and PAUL DORFMAN.

It

was stated that ALEXuütilized the DORFMAN family as his

messengers and as contact between himself and HOFFA, and

further, through the DORMANS, is able to exercise influence

in the New York unions. It was further stated that ALEX on

numerous occasions visits in the New York area for a short

period of time and possibly flies out in the morning and

returns that evening.

He has been extremely careful to insure

that these trips

as well as contacts are unknown.
