“Sept. 3, 10 a.m. American correspondents Powell, Wright, Goette, now at Manchuria Station, have reported to their respective newspapers that regular Soviet troops have invaded and have taken up positions inside Chinese territory and have shelled Chinese outposts. However they have taken the word of the Chinese authorities as to where the boundary is.”
