Cabinet Maps Plans
To Check Squatters'
Activities in London
Communicated Drive
Seeks to Seize Housing
For 10000 Persons
BY the Associotsd Press

LONDON, Sept. 9.-The British
cabinet met in special session
today and mapped strategy to
check a Communicated squatter
campaign to seize public and pri-
vately owned buildings for hous-
ing 10000 persons.
Even as Prime Minister Attlee and
his ministers were meeting, squat
ters who took over two luxury apart
ment buildings and eight other
dwellings yesterday extended their
invasion to four additional houses
in the swank Kensington district.
Many of the more than 1000 men,
women and children who took part
in yesterdays mass move-in-part
|of Communist directions action
campaign-declared they would not
bulge.
Authoritative sources said the pre-
vailing opinion in government cir
cles was that the squatters now are
taking over private property, rather
than disused army camps as in the
past month, and that normal
processes of law" must be used to
get them out.
Regardless of any official warm
ing" Communist party headquar-
ters announced, I'VE are determined
to get at least 10000 of our men,
bers into decent houses Immediately.
"We are appalled, at the large num-
ber Of flats. houses and hotels which
are still empty in London, although
they were vacated by government
departments and foreign govern
ments some months ago."
Yesterday. in driving rain, $500
persons-mostly war veterans with
wives and children-assemble un-
der Communist direction and surged
into the government-leased Duchess
Of Bedford House and the other
empty buildings.
All but 500 stragglers found ac-
commodation far better, they said,
than the crowded quarters they had
come from. One of the comman-
deered houses had just been redeco-
rated. The bedrooms had satin
padded walls and the nursery was
gay with murals.
Stanley Henderson, leader of
hastily selected squatters' commit
tee, told a meeting outside Duchess
of Bedford House today:
I'VE aren't going to bulge an inch.
The Communist party got us in and
we are going to stay"
The Duchess of Bedford House was
one Of many buildings leased by the
government for wartime use. It was
being prepared for return to its
owners.
Move into Camps.
More than $4,000 squatters, one or
two families at a time, have moved
into army camps in many parts of
England, Wales and Scotland and
the government has let most of them
stay at least until winter.
The Evening News said:
"For months government depart
ments have held onto. but not used,

Senator Bridges, Republican,
of New Hampshire protested to
the State Department today a
reported UNRRA decision to di-
vert to Yugoslavia $450,O0O worth
of steel rails originally destined
for China.
The New Hampshire Senator said
he also is asking UNRRA for an ex-
PLANTATION.
Saying he believes this country
ought to shut off supplies to the
Tito government until further
amends have been made for the
shooting down of two American
transport planes last month, Senator
Bridges added:
while ships are crossing the
ocean bearing the bodies of Ameri-
can boys shot down by the Yugo-
slavs, they are passing other ships
carrying goods to Yugoslavia just rs
if nothing had happened"
"a State Department spoke6-
man today acknowledged the d.
version to YugoslavtA Of 1853
tons of steel rails originally ear
marked for China, but, he said,
UNRRA has been told 1t would
have to make the rails available
to China when the current en-
barge on nonfood supplies to
China is lifted. The embargo
was ordered because Of conges-
ton in Chinese ports)
Senator Bridges said his informa-
ton is that the rails were obtained
after Gen. Marshall, President Tru-
mans special envoy to China, made
arrangements in March to have
them declared surplus from Army
Engineer Corps supplies.
Special Priority Obtained.
The Senator added that, in TAX
ing over the task of procuring the
rails, UNRRA obtained special
priority from the War Assets Ad-
ministration with the understand
ing they were to be sent to China
and nowhere else" and proceeded to
freeze all available supplies.
But by August 7, Senator Bridges
said, changes had been made in
plans SO that of 10,789 tons of rails
and accessories acquired, a total OF
8,251 tons, valued at $337 ,348, had
been assigned to Yugoslavia. At that
time 1888 tons, valued at $112,66l
had been earmarked in warehouses
for China.
Subsequently, Senator Bridges said
orders apparently were issued divert
ing the 1888 tons to Yugoslavia also
After that, he said, he was informed
that efforts were made to find rails
for China among American surplus
stocks in Europe, but with no appar-
ent success.
In July UNRRA Director F. H
La Guardia ordered a halt to ship
ments OF all except necessary food
stuffs to China, but Senator Bridges
said he does not believe this move

East E Executive Avenue Open

Then Mr.. Keneipp and s. L. sor-
kin, manager of Keith's. Theater,
drove through East Executive ave-
nue. end to the Monument Ellipse

The avenue was ordered reopened
last Tuesday after The Star urged
immediate reopening of the street,
pointing out it would be better to

New York avenue, than to limit the
use OF the street as parking space

Immediately after the Official car

pletely.
Buying Normal Today.
The other branch houses of the
big packers-Armour g. Co. and
Swift g. Co.-reported little or no

encouragement for the future.
An official of Swift said between
six and eight men had been laid

Meanwhile, a spot check of retail
stores this morning showed that
buying was normal in most places.

OPA is planning no in

An official said that even
though coffee has gone up from
10 to 13 cents a pound, there
will be no corresponding in
crease for each cup in restau-
rants.
The nickel cup of coffee is
not universal, since some res
taurants charged 7 cents and
