A detachment of American troops, neatly dressed and marching in perfect order, came through the streets of Washington, led by Major George Patton and General Douglas MacArthur, then Chief of Staff of the United States Army. The soldiers ignored the taunts and threats of the Communists sprinkled in the crowd. Suddenly a fat man dashed into the well disciplined ranks. "Shoot, damn you, shoot!" he screamed. The soldiers shoved him aside, not even bothering to poke a rifle butt into his protruding stomach. Disappointed, the man shook his fist. "We'll get you for this, MacArthur !" he shouted. The General, erect on his charge, stared straight ahead. He could hardly know that the man's threat would cloud the last two decades of his brilliant career and cost the lives of many thousands of his men.
The man was David Neyhus, who had accompanied the large detachment of Communists from New York. Although the revolutionaries were under the command of a well-known Communist leader, Emmanuel Levin, Neyhus was the Moscow contact, who dictated the strategy of the operation. Levin disappeared from history, but Neyhus, using the name of David Niles, became an influential White House advisor and the principal architect of national policies during the Truman Administration.
