; 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.
