California governor seeks four year death penalty moratorium
Gov. Edmund G. Brown asked the California legislature to approve a four year moratorium on the death penalty except for certain killers. He argued the punishment weakens society and opposes capital punishment, noting few killers would die under current reversals and commutations. The bill, with exemptions, faces strong opposition in both houses.

Kennedy seeks farm subsidies and milk limits
President Kennedy sent Congress a 4200 word farm message proposing federal subsidies to spur cotton sales and to back voluntary production curbs on feed grains and milk. An official said the plan could trim 300 to 500 million dollars from farm supports and lower butter prices by about ten cents a pound. He urged wheat growers to back a tight control program for the 1964 crop in a spring referendum, warning that failure could render a substitute wheat plan infeasible.

Highlights of Kennedy farm message amid calls for price fixes
President Kennedy urged Congress to empower the agriculture secretary to adjust feed grain programs with voluntary, flexible plans and subsidies for producers who cut production. He proposed two federal subsidies for cotton and grower payments to align domestic and foreign prices, plus export planting incentives. A 1964 wheat plan would rely on a spring referendum to avoid unlimited production. He urged voluntary production cuts and milk market adjustments to reduce surplus without hurting bottling milk sales.
