LONDON, Sept. 4
When United States Seventh Fleet forces entered Dairen they found it virtually undamaged and completely under Russian control, reports the Associated Press. The garrison had offered no opposition to the Russian entry. Dairen was filled with fairheaded stalwart Russians. .Low heavy Soviet tanks were parked at strategic points and a Lend-Lease seaplane squadron was anchored in the beautiful harbour. Almost every building was flying the Red Flag. The correspondent adds that the destroyers Evans and Hubbard made a. high-speed run across the Yellow Sea in an unsuccessful search for 123 United States navy prisoners taken by the Japanese froni Guam and Wake. They are now believed to be near Mukden. The Russians are cooperating in the search.
