Brownell made his statement in commenting on an article in the current issue of Life magazine which said Dewey knew during the 1944 campaign, that the late President Roosevelt had been forewarned of a Japanese attack. Dewey decided not to use the information, Brownell said, after Gen. George C. Marshall, chief of staff, advised him in a letter that to do so would let the enemy know that his code had . been broken, and might impede the war effort and imperil "untold Amer ican lives. . : DALLAS rUTATE LIBERATED WASHINGTON, Sept 21-(Spec-ial)-The war department today announced .that Pvt Joseph Day of route 2, Dallas, Ore., had been liberated from a Japanese prison camp.
