Interviewed yesterday for the
first time in Kastellet Prison, where
he has been held since he was
brought in from Germany July 30.
Best said Germany declared war on
the United States because America

Says Dewey
Could Have
Elected

New York, Sept. 21--AP-John
Chamberlain, an editor OF Life
Magazine, says in the current issue
of the publication that Gov. Thomas
f. Dewey knew President Roose-
welt was forewarned OF the 1871
Japanese attack. but the Repuhh-
tan declined to use his knowledge
as a campaign weapon in 1914.
Dewey was in a position to
charge that the President had be
trayed the interests Of the L. S. in
failing either to forestall or miti-
gate an attack for which we
were, on the certifcation Of Gen
eral Marshall. not yet ready"
Chamberlain said.
THE political impact OF such a
charge. if supported by the eyid-
ence of code-cracking, would have
been terrific. and might well have
landed Dewey in the White House
Chamberlain said Dewey learned
long before the 1874 election that
America had cracked the Japa-
nese ultra code some time prior
to Pearl Harbor and that Roose-
welt and his advisers knew what
the japanese were going to do well
in advance OF the overt rupture Of
relations

Local Supply
of Gas Will
Expire Soon

Serious effects of strikes In the
nations oil industry should be felt
by Ypsilanti's motorists by Satur-
day night at the earliest. Most sta
tons report that they have enough
gas to last until that time. A few,
however, are better supplied than
others and expect their present sup
ply to last until the first of the
week or longer.
Some stations are already ra-
tioning their supply, limiting each
customer to FIVE gallons. Stations
will shut their doors when their
supply runs out.
Most stations have been notified
by their respective refineries thai
no more gas will be delivered until
the crisis is over.
Emergency rationing began in
Toledo today, as the strike OF the
Clio Oil Workers aimed Roadway.
More than a dozen refineries we're
closed, and others were ready To
shut down as workers took strike
votes.
The oil strike hit hardest in the
Texas Gulf Coast region where
$4,000 are idle in refneries and af-
filiated industries. Another $500
we're ready today to leave their jobs
and thousands more were taking
strike votes.
The oil strike already has closed
or affected every gasoline concern
in the Detroit area except the Sun
Oil Co.
The Detroit city government had
to borrow IA thousand gallons or
gas from the Detroit Street Rail
way Co. to operate police cars, fire
trucks and ambulances. The rail-
way company has only an eight
day supply Of gasoline.

Diplomatic quarters closest to the

have indicated dissatisfaction with
a communique which appeared to
indicate agreement on a racial from
tier and internationaliEation OF the

These sources say the communi-
