Eight hundred hippies are squatting in this 100-room house in Piccadilly, opposite the Buckingham Palace gardens. The house has a drawbridge, which the hip-' pies raised when an antihippie group, the “skinheads” attempted to invade the building. Foiled, the “skinheads” set fire to a motor-cycle in the street. The hippies issued a statement blaming the police for failing to keep order. The police are expected to take further action, for an order has been given to clear the hippies from the house, but a suitable time possibly early one morning, is awaited.
