Molotov was banned today In the American sector of Berlin. It was called "an Insult to the United States." In the speech, delivered at the Loudon meeting of the foreign min isters council, the Soviet foreign minister accused Uie United States of seeking "to enslave Germany and Europe through dollar diplomacy." The Russians demanded lilting ot the ban. In the allied kommand aiilur Uiey charged that it repre sented "tactless and unfriendly act" against Uie No. 2 man In the Soviet government. They argued "It certainly will not contribute toward strengthening mutual under standing among Uie occupying power In Berlin." Louis F. Glaser, chief of civil af fairs In the American military gov ernment, said he rejected a Russian argument Uint the ban was un warranted because Molotov's re marks had been printed In German newspapers. "I told them." Glaser said, "that the military government cannot give Its sanction to the posting of an Insult to the United States in the American sector of the city."
