Criminal Charges
Being Considered
Against Squatters
LONDON, Sept. 11, — </P>— The
British government announced
late, today that criminal conspir
acy charges were being considered
against Communist organizers of
a fast-spreading squatter invasion
of vacant private and government
leased dwellings.
A statement from the residence
of Prime Minister Attlee said a
report on the situation had been
submitted to the Director of Pub
lic Prosecutions.
“It is the duty of the police to
take every step within the limits
of their resources to prevent
breaches of the law and thev have
been instructed to prevent further
forcible entries.” the statement
said.
The Cabinet was called info
special session tomorrow to con
sider the squatters situation.
A process server jn olack coat
and striped trousers climbed
through a ground floor window of
Dutchess of Bedford house today
and served an eviction notice on
1.000 squatters barricaded within
the building, a luxury apartment
block in London’s fashionable west
end.
Stanley Henderson, secretary of
the Squatters’ Committee and a
leader of the Communist-sponsor
ed movement to commandeer un
used dwellings, said he had been
summoned to appear in court next
Tuesday.
“It is between us and the Min
istry of Works.” he added. “I
don’t fully understand it. I am
now going to get legal advice.’’
“It looks as if we were supposed
to get out by next Tuesday.”
Doors of the apartment later
were unbarred and a Communist
spokesman said “The state of siege!
I is now at an end.”
The squatters had placed sent-1
ries behind barred doors to resist!
eviction efforts of the labor gov-;
ernment.
Court action to evict squatters
also was taken at Birmingham,
where Sam Eackwell. secretary of
the Midlands district Communist j
party said “We will fight the j
squatters case to the last ditch.”
