  • Japanese Codes and the Election of 1944 During 1944'S America
    New Twists on Old Tales: Crypto Triumphs and Political Meddling: Japanese Codes and the Election of 1944 Colin B Burke, April 2017 During 1944’s American presidential contest the nation’s top military leader took an unprecedented and constitutionally dangerous step. In September 1944 he secretly interfered in the campaign. His intrusion didn’t remain a secret for very long, however. Shortly after World War II General George C. Marshall’s action became public knowledge with emotional tales appearing about his sending a special emissary to Thomas E. Dewey, the Governor of New York and the Republican Party’s candidate, with a letter meant to persuade Dewey from mentioning something that might well have led to the defeat of the Democrat’s Franklin D. Roosevelt in his run for a fourth term as president. Colonel Carter Clarke, Marshall’s envoy, had been ordered to deliver a message intended to convince Dewey to remain silent about the United States and England’s ability to read Japan’s coded diplomatic messages long before the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor--and about other Allied codebreaking efforts after the United States entered World War II. The story of Marshall’s letter and Clarke’s visit and their repercussions has been told and retold. As early as 1945 major popular magazines, such as Time and Life, ran features on the penetration of Japan’s diplomatic codes and the surprise attack at Pearl Harbor and on the related Marshall-Dewey affair. The stories included mentions of the “break-in” and “ransacking” of the Lisbon, Portugal offices

The fact that Mr. Shipman was appointed chaplain in 1896 and served as such until his resignation nine years later, does not and cannot convex- toj one not connected with the Academy, an idea of his influence with the Corps or of the place of high esteem he occupies in our hearts. It was because he so well combined the art of preaching with the yet higher art of living among men, that every man of us looked upon him as a personal friend and helper. Between Mr. Shipman and us there has sprung up a lasting friendship, "durable from the daily dust of life," and we, among whom his labors have been spent, in dedicating to him this volume, do likewise extend therewith, the heart-felt best wishes of the Corps he served so faithfully and so well.
