BIZONIA SEEKING FOR A.

BIGGER SHARE

London, Sept. 7. Mr Averell Harriman, American Ambassador at large and general trouble- shooter for the Marshall Plan, today sought with high British officials a solution to the deadlock over distribution of European recovery funds.

Mr Harriman flew here suddenly for a con- ference with the Chancellor, of the Exchequer (Sir Stafford Cripps) after a similar hurried trip to Brussels for a talk with the Belgian Foreign Minister and chairman of the Council of the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation, M. Paul Henri Spaak.
