The article presents news briefs. Friend of the Electric Bond and Share, Lieutenant General Edgar Jadwin, chosen by his brother engineer in the White House to head the new Federal Power Commission, has suddenly become the recipient of a private offer so attractive that he feels compelled to decline the proffered chairmanship. The problem which is most disquieting to the Great Sufferer in the White House is concerned with the condition of the wheat market and the Farm Board's efforts to alleviate it. Rather, to be more exact, it is concerned with the potential political consequences arising from that condition and those efforts.
