Rents Reduced so Per Cent.
President Manuel Azana signed a
decree reducing by so per cent all
house rents of less than 201 pesetas
(about $25) month. The significance
of the action, the government said, lies
In the fact the bulk of Spain's u.s.
100000 inhabitants pay rents far be-
low the figure.
The decree also provided families of
soldiers fighting on the Loyalist side
cannot be evicted If their rents are
IN arrears. All action by landlords
seeking eviction Of tenants was sus-
pended for the duration of the civil
war. In another order, the govern
