RUBY NIXON AND DUSTY MILLER

On November 8, 1963, Ruby called Murray W. Miller's suite at the Eden

Roc. Murray Miller better known as "Dusty" Miller was a Vice President of
the Teamsters Union and Director of the Southern Conference of
Teamsters. Miller was a trustee of the Central States Pension Fund from
1955 to 1968. "Dusty" Miller was the number three man in the Teamsters,
only Jimmy Hoffa and Allen Dorfman preceded him, and as such was
regarded as a possible successor to Jimmy Hoffa.

HOFFA AND ALLEN DORFMAN

 "Dusty" Miller was associated with
numerous underworld figures. [FBI-44-

Victor Riesel; FBI44-24016-976; Wall
St. Journal 12.23.75 p1] In a 1978
interview with the HSCA, "Dusty" Miller
admitted having conversed with Ruby.
Ruby had stated something to the effect
that: "Barney Baker (seen on the left
with Jimmy Hoffa) gave me your
number and told me that maybe you
could help me out." When "Dusty" Miller
heard the name "Baker" he said he
reacted by terminating the conversation,
since "Dusty" Miller did not wish to
become involved with an unsavory
character. [HSCA V9 p199] In April 1972 Murray W. Miller of Dallas, Texas
was appointed Secretary Treasurer of the Teamsters Union. In October
1975 NIXON played a round of golf at the La Costa Country Club with
Dusty Miller. Allen Dorfman was also on the golf course that day. Miller filed
a libel suit against a dissident Teamster faction for publishing this in
Overdrive:

Take Murray (Dusty) Miller, 4th Vice-President of the

International and Director of the Southern Conference. Dusty
was a trustee of the Fund from its formation in 1955 until 1968.
Before he left, Dusty borrowed $1.6 million in 1965 from the
Fund to buy Trinity Sand & Gravel in Dallas. Almost
immediately, the Fund foreclosed on the company without a
single penny having been paid on the loan. Almost as
instantly, a new corporation was formed which borrowed
another $1.4 million from the Fund. This corporation
Metropolitan Sand & Gravel was set up by St. Louis attorney
Morris Shenker, and his ownership in it is 45%. Shenker is
probably right behind Dorfman when it comes to having
 influence over the Fund. Shenker, though, specializes in
dealing with the Mafia, a subject to be covered thoroughly in
our next article. The 2,800 acres of land now controlled by
Shenker, it appears, now is valued at $300 million, thanks to a
federal decision to build a multi-billion dollar barge channel
through it from Dallas-Fort Worth to the Gulf of Mexico. This
good fortune doesn't seem to have affected the company's
payments to the Fund: $1.1 million loan (This does not include
the.$1.6 million. That is gone. Just ask Dusty.)

In August 1998 Services for retired Teamsters official Murray W.

"Dusty" Miller were held at Restland Funeral Home's Wildwood Chapel. Mr.
Miller, 82, died of a heart attack in St. Paul Medical Center in Dallas. He
was buried in Restland Memorial Park. In 1971, Mr. Miller became the first
Dallas labor leader appointed by a U.S. president to serve on a national
committee. President Richard Nixon named Mr. Miller to a three-year term
on a 35-member labor relations commission.

There was no roving wiretap on Hoffa and so the phone line in the
Eden Roc was clean. Ruby talked to the man himself, Jimmy Hoffa, and
told him that something was going to be done about JFK. The Nixon Miller
connection at La Costa helps explain Nixon’s presence in Dallas prior to
the big event. Nixon was in Dallas to meet with Jack Ruby and assure him
what he was doing was the right thing to do for American Jews. NIXON
was attending a Pepsico convention as was Ruby’s close friend Larry
Meyer’s brother, Edward Meyers.
