TENANTS IN NEW HOME
ANOTHER SURPRISE FOR SQUATTERS London, Sept. 22. London's first luxury squatters, who took possession of Bedford House on September 8, moved out yesterday. They formed a procession outside the fiats and, headed by a band, marched in the rain to decorated motor coaches, which took them to a council rest centre. Ten motor-vans carried their furniture. Their evacuation to the rest centre, however, was upset by the discovery that the centre is at present occupied by building workers, who held a meeting and refused to move, saying that they were nicely settled in, with organised social activities, including darts. The squatters and the buildingworkers held a meeting and agreed that both would occupy the rest centre. It was decided to send a deputation to No. 10 Downing Street and to the London County Council. ■* Later the London County Council arranged 'to move the squatters from the rest centre, thus breaking the deadlock.
