m ::) ".it! If,." Reds Throw City Open To Newsmen ' (Editor1! Note: 'This is the " tint itory raceired from Muk dtn line nine allied corre pondenti were permitted to en- . ter Manchuria nearly a week ago and were held incommunl- . cado 54 houri by Russian au thorities. The story was delayed two days presumably for lack . of quick communications. Copy was flown from Mukden and , radioed from Shanghai). ; By SPENCER DAVIS MUKDEN, Feb. 20 (Delayed) MP) This scarred, disheveled . Manchurian arsenal city was thrown open by Russian military ..authorities today-. to nine allied I correspondents . who previously ..had been confined 54 hours in a hotel. ... . It was at Mukden that the incident which led to the Sino Japanesc war developed 14 years ago. " For the past six months, ru mors emanating from this one time stronghold of Manchu warlords were purple "with in timations of banditry, rape. looting, kidnaping,' arson and murder as violent as in the days of Genghis Kahn. . . Correspondents, wishing to check the validity of these ac counts and to see what was hap pening in Manchuria s postwar world, were balked by both Chinese and yRussiari. officials until today, when 46-year'-old "Maj. Gen. . : Andrei Kovtoun- Stankevitch announced: "You may go any place at any time you wish- in Mukden, With or without escort. Internment Ends This brought to an end a pe riod of more than two days of restricted movement, amounting - to internment for use in the . south Manchuria railway's Yam- ato hotel, renamed the Intourist hotel. g,:, -;x . . It was the first time since the - war ended that allied newsmen had been granted the privilege of entering this Soviet-occupied Manchurian city. We found a city of 2,000,000 ' undergoing the pangs of infla ' tion, with food prices four times 1 higher today than six weeks ' ago. I This is a city where 85 per ; cent of the factories developed ; for Japan's war potential are idle, according to Russian sources. We were told that more than - 3000 cases of typhus developed in December and January until Russian army doctors checked " the epidemic. We were told that 30,000 i prostitutes roam the streets and frequent dance halls and cafes. These municipal affairs are the direct concern of Mayor Tung Wei-chi, central govern ment appointee, and Police Chief Tai Hung-tao, but both Chinese officials frequently con sult the Soviet commanding gen eral, Kovtoun Stankevitch, whose estimated 6000 to 7000 veterans of Malinovsky's second Ukrainian army control the city. Between 10,000 and 20,000 Chinese government troops un der Maj. Gen. Peng Ui-shen are in the western section of the city, awaiting orders. No Jap Troops In contrast to many parts of north China, there are no Japa nese troops to be seen in Muk den. There were 60,000 here when Kovtoun-Stankevitch's men entered the city by plane and truck August 19. 1945, and caught Henry Pu Yi, puppet emperor, about to skip for Japan by plane. Now all Japanese troops are gone. The Russian commander prefers not to say where, but reports circulating here arc that none was repatriated to Japan that all able-bodied men were sent to Siberia or Russia to work on mines and railways.
