Soviet Bills British
For Communications;
U. 5. Rejects Charge
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, Mar. 23.-The British
said today the Russians handed
them a bill for $2,500,000 for wire
communications between Berlin
and Western Germany. The
United States already has refused
to pay a $7,000.000 bill presented
for the same thing.
British occupation authorities
indicated they felt the same as the
about it. The Russian
bill to the British specifically de-
mands dollars in payment-not
pounds sterling.
Telephone and telegraph lines
are about the only link between
blockaded Berlin and Western
Germany other than the airlift.
American authorities, expressing
suspicion the Russians were up to
a squeeze move aimed at cutting
the lines. called the charge illegal
and violation of an agreement.
The German post Office in the
Soviet zone sent the bill for Amer
lean communications dating back
to 1945. The Germans also de-
manded that the United States
pay $160,000 monthly hereafter
for rent of telephone and tele-
graph lines. It was limited the
lines might be cut if payment were
refused.
E. T. Martin. economics official
in the American Military Govern
ment. said the Russians and the
United States agreed in 1945 that
the Americans would be granted
free communications if they pro-
vided $50 miles of cable and ar
ranged to have it installed.
Mr.. Martin said the Russians
agreed to maintain the lines and
had done so.
He termed the proposed $160, 900
monthly maintance charge ri
diculous" and the lines could bs
"for something closer
to $780, as a guess"
