The Kefauver Committee and the Pete Panto Murder
New York: Freedom of the Press Co., Inc., 1951. Scarce CPUSA publication concerning the unsolved murder of Italian-American longshoreman, Pietro “Pete” Panto (1911-1939), at the hands of Albert Anastasia’s Murder Inc. for attempting to expose the corruption that existed in the International Longshoreman’s Association. Singer, a Communist journalist, contends that the Kefauver Committee refused to convict the known Mafia associates who killed Panto because the mob was doing the bidding of powerful shipowners.
