Thomas E. Dewey 'knew the full

his political advantage in the 1914

his respect for Gen. George c.
Marshall, Life Magazine disclosed
tonight in an advance release of
its Sept. Is issue.
Life said that Dewey's bitter Ok

frightened the War Department in

planned to spring the truth about
Pearl Harbor." Next day, the

Army colonel called on Dewey and
presented him a letter, the first

the letter secret.

order; he stopped and told the
Colonel that the letter might pos.

already come to him from other
sources and that anyway, a candi
date for President was in no posi-.
ton to make blind promises.
Dewey returned the letter. Lat.
er, he received another letter from
Marshall. It gave Dewey permits.

keep it.

states, THE letter told Dewey
what he already knew, that we
had cracked the Japanese ultra
code. But it was Of the highest i'm.
portance, said Marshall, that the
Japanese be kept from realizing
it,"
The article asserted that "the
Marshall letter put Dewey in a
terrible dilemma, which he talked
over at length with Herbert

spoke only the Language Of

walking instead of running at their
work, cannabalism, starvs ton,

The witness was Harold Osmond
lie Druillenec, schoolmaster, of Jer-
sey, arrested after the Nazis occu-
pied the Channel Islands and con-
fined in three other Nazi concen.
tration camps before his delivery to
Belsen April 9, 1945.
IT think I can fairly describe
Belsen as the foulest and vllest
spot that ever soiled the surface
Of the EARTH" he asserted.
Earlier the court saw 20 minutes
of movies showing the appan'

mass burial of the thousands OF
dead found there, and British Maj

that $4,000 died at Belsen despite
large German food stores nearby.

out OF the way?"
'They could" the witness re2li-

hard for them to get their places

it was better not to move"
He said beatings on the head
were administered by guards with
sticks about five feet long and sew

roll call if the weakened, sickly in
mates moved during the three or
four hours they had to stand at
attention.

related, "a French friend came and
