New Policy
 Cancellation Of
 Rent Contracts

Washington, Sept 24-Formu1ation of a new policy of eliminating arbi- trary cancellation privileges in it's rent contracts was announced today by the Postof1ce Department. For years it has been the policy of the department in making leases to have a, clause giv- ing the department the right to can eel on ninety days notice and this re- suited, it was explained, in the lessor fixing the rental at a level to take care of the cancellation risk. Be- cause the Treasury Department is un- able now to build new government buildings, the Postoffice Department is leasing a great many buildings, the statements aid and under the new policy is saving a substantial sum in rentals.
