Pravda Says Report

WAS Too Sensational
BY the Asiociotsd Press

MOSCOW, Dec. 3O.--A special
Pravda dispatch from Dairen today
branded as ''tendentious" and sen
sational" reports that an American
naval vessel had been given an
''ultimstum" to leave the Russian
controlled port on December 81.
The dispatch-first Soviet press
comment on the reports-said that
several days ago Correspondent
(William H. Newton of the Scripps
Howard staff reported in the press
that an American vessel, which was
In Dairen December Is to Decem-
Der 20, was compelled to leave
port through an ultimatum by Soviet
military authorities.
This report" the dispatch con-
tinued, was presented by Newton
In Il sensational tone as an Incl
dent in Dairen.' In connection with
this, our correspondent learned from
an authoritative source that New
tons report does not present cor
rectly the facts of the visit to
Dairen by the American war vessel
and is tendentious.
Other Passengers Not Mentioned.
Notification of the arrival of this
vessel ian LCIL-landing craft

local port authorities after the YES

the Pravada dispatch said. TT re-
ported In its notification that the
American Embassy in China had
addressed the Soviet Embassy with
a request to inform the proper

stay for 48 hours.

Upon the arrival of the vessel
representative of the Soviet COM
mand was informed by the captain
that besides an American diplomatic
courier, two American correspond
ents and a representative of the
Standard Oil Co. were aboard and
were coming in for stay in Dairen.
"A representative of the Soviet
command said that inasmuch as he
had received no notification of the
supposed arrival of the persons men,
toned, these persons could not

Captain Detained in City.
The Pravda dispatch said that
after the 48-hour deadline had ex-
pired-a time limit which it said
the Americans themselves had
established-the United States Con-
sui informed the Soviet representa-
tive that the vessel could not leave
on the appointed date because the
captain had been detained in the
city of Dairen.
In connection with this repre-
sentation," the dispatch said, "the
ship remained in port several more
hours unobstructed."
The dispatch concluded by as
serting that Mr.. Newton's report
on the ultimatum and demand to
