A. II. Allman of Bluffton, to- China Refuses To Let Red Shif Land At Shanghai SHANGHAI. Sept. 3-(ffV-Chlna moved to implement its order closing Russian-occupied Dairen to foreign shipping today, refusing to let the Soviet repatriation ship Ilylch from the Manchurlan port disembark 27 passengers here.

The North China Dally News, without confirmation elsewhere, said it had learned U. S. nuns and priests were among those trying to land. The Chinese position was that the Ilylch had violated the laws of China by entering Dairen after It was closed to all foreign shipping hy the Nanking government. China had been unable to take over Dairen.

Chen Kuo-Llen, director of the Shanghai office of the foreign ministry, said he had instructed customs authorities to refuse to permit the disembarkation of the 27 from Dairen. (Earlier dispatches from Nanking quoted an unnamed official as saying China had ordered the Ilylch to "re-embark" the passengers, but this later account makes no mention of their having landed.) The dispute over the Port of Dairen Is one of long standing. It was to be administered by China under terms of the treaty with Russia. The Russian position is that the war with Japan technically is still in progress until the treaty Is signed and Soviet occupation of Dairen is permissable. Russia has refused to allow the shipping of other nations to enter Dairen since the last u.
