TALKS REFUSED NEW GERMAN MONEY WEST POWERS ASSAILED (10 a.m.) LONDON, April 14. The Soviet Information Department published a declaration in the Soviet German language newspaper Taegliche Rundschau that the reports that the Russians had declined the Western Powers’ invitation to discuss German currency reform were "provocative lies,” says Reuter’s correspondent in Berlin. The declaration continued: “In reality, the Control Council on February 11 accepted a Soviet proposal to discuss currency reform on a quadripartite basis and gave the financial directorate 60 days to submit an agreed report.” The Soviet statement, after referring to the failure of General L. Clay, the American Military Governor, to call the Control Council meeting for April 10, said that recent events had showed that the British, French and Americans had not abandoned their plans for separate currency reform in their own zones. , „ The Soviet-licensed German news agencv said that a new currency for Western Germany, printed in America, would be issued soon.
