NO MOVE MADE
SUNNING HILL SQUATTERS (Rec. 10.10 a.m.) LONDON, July 25. Squatters who yesterday planned to move into huts at Sunning Hill Park to-day made no attempt to pass the patrolling police. The squatters leader, Ernest Lane, said the truce between the squatters and the authorities had been extended. An earlier message said: Four hundred would-be squatters are waiting for word to go and invade Sunning Hill Park, Berkshire, near Ascot, believed to be the chosen home of Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, says the “Daily Mail.” The squatters’ objective is 300 military huts recently vacated by the R.A.F. The huts are scattered in the grounds, some of them a few yards only from the mansion. Ten lorries will be sent to the park when the truce expires between the squatters and the Crown agents. SOME HUTS MADE AVAILABLE (Rec. 11 'a.m.) LONDON, July 25. The Commissioners of Crown Lands have decided to make some huts on Sunning Hill Park available for temporary housing. This means that the would-be squatters will take their turn in the local queue for homes.
