Vessel Commander Ashore
When Craft Ordered Out
Of Darien in 20 Minutes
By WILLIAM H. NEWTON
DAIREN, Manchuria, Dec. 20—(Delayed)—(JP>—-A
United States navy ship pulled out of the port of Dairen
Friday afternoon after receiving a verbal ultimatum from
Russian military officials to the effect that “unless you leave
within 20 minutes we will not be responsible for the con-
sequences.”
Previously, the Russian military commander in charge
of the city had refused to permit an American businessman
with full clearance from U. S. authorities to debark. Also
denied permission to land were two American newspapermen,
representing the Combine^ World Press.
Russian troops have occupied Dairen since the Japanese sur-
render. Although the Chinese-Russian treaty of 1945 called for iU
designation as a free port under Chinese administration, soviet
j forces still are in control of the city.
In Washington, the state department said it had received no
' report of the “verbal ultimatum’’ and would have no immediate
comment.
The navy department in Washington reported that a navy
vessel identified as LCIL 1090 Handing craft infantry large) left
Dairen December 21 (December 20. U. S. time) on a return trip to
the U. S. base at Tsingtao. on the north coast of China. There was
no other immediate comment from the department.)
The vessel, LC-1090. was on a*
second routine courier mission to
Dairen carrying diplomatic mail
and supplies to the U. S. consul-
ate there.
Newsmen Take P»m<*
In view of the fact that the details
of the first trip had been revealed to
the press, two correspondents were
permitted to take passage on this trip
by Admiral Charles M. Cooke, com-
mander of the Seventh fleet, in order
to be present in event their going ‘
ashore would meet with the approval '
of local authorities. Admiral Cooke
ruled that no photographs could be
made without the consent of the local
officials.
The ship arrived at Dairen Decem-
ber 18. and requested -permission to
remain in port for 48 hours. This
was accepted without comment by the
soviet authorities who met the ship at
anchorage.
