BATON ROUGE. La. Mar. "a.
The Mississippi River broke

The area is sparsely populated,

Divided Berlin
Hit by New War;:
POSTAGE Stamps
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

BERLIN, Mar. 24.-Divided Ber-
lin today was caught In an East
West postage stamp war which, in
effect, made every man his own
letter carrier.
Post Offices in Berlin's three
Western sectors were refusing to
accept mail which did not bear
stamps of Western issue.
Post offices in Berlin's Russian
sector continued their policy Of
rejecting any mail which did not
bear stamps issued in the Russian
occupation zone.
Thus a Western Berliner who
wants to mail a letter to an ad-
dressee in Eastern Berlin or a
city in the Soviet occupation zone
now has to cross the border into
the Russian sector, buy an Eastern
stamp and deposit his letter there.
Life in Berlin took still another
dizzy twist today when the city
streetcar system began operating
with two sets Of conductors-one
for the Russian sector and one for
the Western sectors.

The United States charged to-

Soviet leaders have turned down
proposals for wide ex-

The lengthy, strongly-worded

American efforts since World

with Russia.
It said this Government UNDER
took such efforts because it be-
came apparent during the war that
mutual understanding" between
the American and Russian peoples
was "a prime necessity for the
building of q healthy world
society"
But the Soviet government has
"persistently pursued an obdurate
policy" against cultural exchanges,
the report said, first through eva
sions and excuses and finally by
refusal" to participate.
The report was published. sig

Differences in Policy Cited.

delegates from Russia and her
satellite countries in Eastern
Europe to come to this country

that notable Communist propa-
gansists were granted, visas in
