"Groping" For Some Way Out

London, Sept. 11.

A high American source indicated today that Bri- tain might have made and the United States rejected a proposal that America revive Lend-Lease in peacetime, some time before the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Bevin, publicly. suggested it last night.

The source, a member of the American delegation to the International Bank and Monetary Fund meeting here, was asked whether Britain had made any direct suggestion to the United States about peacetime Lend-Lease to aid the war-shattered nations.

London, Sept. 10.

The economic crisis has reduced the social event of the century-the wedding of Princess Eliza- beth and Lt. Philip Mountbatten-to a state- more lavish or magnificant than any other society wedding of the past decade. There will be a more illustrious list of guests that at other marriages, but otherwise Westminster Abbey on Nov. 20 will be bare of most of the pomp and pageantry which Princess Elizabeth, as Heiress Presumptive to the Throne, would have commanded in better times.
