...assured both gentlemen that we had taken no such poll on Wallace. . . . But a few weeks later, the inquiry of the two newsmen had turned into a so-called "inside" story by two Washington correspondents of the People's World, a West Coast version of the Communist Daily Worker. This time, the 11% for Wallace had jumped to 11,000,000 votes (11% of a possible 60,000,000 votes is a little over...

And the second poll, according to the Daily Worker, showed Wallace to have over 11,000,000 votes.

The union, apparently as untainted by Communist influences as its ally, the Seafarers, was the one-man creation of bespectacled M. David Keefe, onetime Stock Exchange employee. Dave Keefe had started as a $15-a-week page boy; after 13 years he had worked himself up to $37. He organized the union in 1942, saw it almost fall apart after he joined the Seabees. He pulled it together again after war's end and, boasting a membership of 5,000, held contracts with both...
