Craft is Forced Continued From Page One
Chinese mayor of Dairen complained he was not warned by the Russians of the ship’s arrival but said if present he would have met it. The vessel docked December 18 with diplomatic mail and supplies for the U S consulate and asked 48 hours in port, which Soviet authorities granted. The ship’s stay extended two hours as Ben ninghoff sought ashore access for Joses L Poole of Atlanta representing Standard Vacuum Oil. Soon an Soviet ultimatum followed. The incident echoes Edwin W Pauley’s charge that Russians had effectively sealed off Dairen during secret Manchuria machinery seizures. Pauley’s inspection group failed to obtain credentials from Soviet or local authorities. The Norfolk and Western Railway reported last week total car loadings fell short of the all-time high by 25 cars, with 23 119 cars moved. Coal production by district showed Pocahontas 8,485. Tug River 5,252. Clinch Valley 1,000. Last week’s volume missed the peak due to slack loading Saturday. Absenteeism remained low, aiding soft coal output.
