More than one hundred OF the tenants

with them their leases signed by the
United States Railroad Administration

In tier told them that inasmuch as the
Hudson and Manhattan was being re-
turned by the Government to It's private
ownership on March / their leases
signed by the Railroad Administration
were nc longer binding and that they
would favor the Hudson and Manhattan
by vacating their offices not later than
midnight tomorrow.
Mr.. Miller explained that II Was not
until last Wednesday night that the
Hudson and Manhattan knew that these
particular leases existed that competent
lawyers had discovered that these leases
we're null and void after the Railroad
Administration withdrew and that II was
Up to the Government 10 settle with the
angry tenants because the Railroad Ad-
ministration had no right 20 make leases

the private owners OF the property.
There are about seven hundred ten
ants in 70 and 20 Church street said
Mr. Miller. "a great majority OF the
contracts and leases entered into By the
tenants and the Railroad Administration
are binding because IN the great ma

leases were drawn up and rentals
agreed upon. But previous TO thus TAX

the Railroad Administration granted
leases at certain figures 10 about one

these tenants stipulates that, while We
demand that they vacats Sunday night,
We are willing that the tenants con-
tinue occupying their present quarters

quarters or enter into new leases with
the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad
Company. II means merely that they
must receive new leases. To be sure,
the new leases that they must sign may
call for increased rentals"
Several OF the affected office lessees
declared thsy intended taking the mat
