Reprieve! Execution of Order To Expel Squatters Delayed for Few
 Days.

Squatters at the Hollywood" colony, located along the Nauga- tuck river at the Golf Lots, were given a few additional days today to leave their rude shacks. Police have extended to Wednesday the time by which the squatters must abandon their shacks and leave the property.
 Originally the squatters were to have left by yesterday, but in view of the heavy rain yesterday auth critics extended the time limit. If the squatters are not out of the colony by Wednesday, police plan to tear down and burn down the shacks.
 The squatters were given notice to move after Health Officer Dr. Edward Godfrey informed police that the colony was unsanitary and Q menace to public health. Owners of the property, the Wal ter Holmes estate, also complain ed to police.
 The colony has been inhabited by squatters for years. Some 25 or 30 men make their homes there in crude shacks, made from scrap wood and metal.
 Some of the men, police says. are steadily employed, while others have made no effort to get work and engage in panhandling to get money for food and drink. The colony has been the scene of sev- eral stabbing affrays, and other battles.

BA|LEy'S FRIENDS
ARE STILL PEEVED
But Second Victory Dinner
Seen AS Face-Saver
for Senator
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel

Raleigh, March 23.-Friends of Sen
ator Josiah w. Bailey here are still
peeved at those who decided to hold
the second Victory Dinner to correct
the "Sad Tydings" affair and are in
sisting that the second dinner was
more or less of an insult to Senator
Bailey as well as to Senator Tydings,
who had been selected hy Senator
Bailey to be the principal speaker at
the first Victory Dinner fiasco, at
which Senator Tydings did not once
mention President Roosevelt by name,
but instead made a thinly-veiled at
tack upon him and his Supreme Court
reorganization proposal.
Those who attended the second Vic
tory Dinner are convinced that both
Senator Bailey and his friends should
be extremely grateful to National
Committeeman A. D. Gon) FOlger,
Chairman r. L. Mcmillan of the Sec
ond Victory Dinner committee. S.
Brown Shepherd, Jr., president of the
Wake County Young Democrats Club,
and others who decided to hold the
second dinner, instead of criticizing
them. Fort hey point out that this
dinner acted as a blow-off valve for
the indignation stirred up against
Senator Bailey by the first dinner.
One of Senator Baileys closest poll
teal advisors here is reported to have
admitted that if the second Victory
Dinner had not been held, scores of
smaller dinners would have been held
over the State also that most of these
would probably have been out-and-out
anti-Bailey meetings.
In fact, those who know the inside
background of the second dinner here
agree that if Chairman Folger and
his assistants had not handled this
dinner with the greatest of skill and
allowed no opportunity for any one
not on the program to speak, that the
slightest slip might have turned it
into a rip, roaring anti-Bailey demon
stration Consequently, they maintain
that this dinner was so handled that
it actually eased the tension of feel
ing against Senator Bailey and that
those who backed it really did Bailey
a favor by holding it.
