Washington December 7 The government moved quickly to limit pending tests of the Utility Holding Company Act by urging non intervention in stockholder suits and asking delays in seven utility cases.

Knox Advances New Farm Plan
Col. Frank Knox proposes a science based farm program to restore soil fertility by reimbursing farmers for reconditioning 25 million acres over two years, signaling a shift from Roosevelt era policies. He argues a two year halt would renew land in about fifteen years at an estimated cost of 300 million dollars annually, framing it as an investment, not a subsidy. The plan, offered for discussion, aims to reduce foreign acreage pressure and farm surpluses while differing from current administration methods.
