Publication 111 Bail reurtt PRICE GREAT BRITAIN WOULD BAR SIM AMERICAN GOODS Child Bride and Husband England Seeks Permission to Spend Marshall Plan Dollars Outside United States. PROPOSAL IS MADE AT PARLEY IN CAPITAL Snyder Doubts He Can Permit Discrimination Without Getting Congressional Approval. Washington, Sept.

8. UP) -British, American and Canadian cabinet officers today mapped a four-point attack on Britain's dollar crisis. As the three-power financial talks entered their second day, however, the United States served notice that congress may have to be consulted before it can yield to one of Britain's most important requests. Secretary of the Treasury Snyder, the chief. American delegate, told a news conference he did not think he could permit Britain to discriminate temporarily against American goods without first getting congressional approval.

The British have urgently requested Snyder -to waive article nine in the 1946 British loan agreement to permit them to start this discrimination. Would Help Them Save. The British said it would help them save scarce dollars because they then could bar some American goods from their markets in favor of goods from non-dollar countries. Until Snyder spoke out today, they hoped he would be able to do this without the necessity of going to congress for a go-ahead--something they fear will take months of consideration. On the positive side, Snyder disclosed that the top foreign policy and economic leaders of the three allies have agreed to set up four special "working groups" to expedite their discussions.

These consider request for: 1. More freedom to spend Marshall plan dollars outside the United States. This would allow the British to buy Canadian wheat, bacon, cheese, eggs and other items their Marshall plan allocations. Must Buy in U. S.

At present, Britain must buy those foodstuffs from American producers. i 2. Streamlining American customs rules. The British claim these regulations now are so antiquated and complex that they discourage British manufacturers from sending their States. 3.

More purchases of strategic raw materials from British sources. Britain wants the United States to Shirley Elizabeth Stokes, 11, wrote hillbilly bandleader William I. Davis (right) weeks ago that she would like to sing on his radio program. Davis, 22, listened to her sing, then hired her. They fell in love and were married at Russellville, Alabama, August 27--five days before Shirley celebrated her twelfth birthday.
