Dairen Is Completely Under Soviet Control
(Rec. 1 p.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 4. When United States 7th Fleet forces entered the Manchurian port of 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 fair-haired, stalwart Russians. Low, heavy Soviet tanks are parked at strategic points and a Lend-Lease seaplane squadron is anchored in the beautiful harbour. Almost every building flies the Red Flag. The correspondent adds that the destroyers Evans and Hubbard made a high-speed run across the Yellow Sea in a so-far unsuccessful search for 123 United States navy prisoners taken by the Japanese from Guam and Wake. They are now believed to be near Mukden. The Russians are co-operating in the search.
