FORBIDDEN BY DECISION| Commission Declares Nation's Old Policy Is Reversed by Passage of Transportation Act. ®The application of the Southern Pa- cific company to retain its present control of the Central Pacific railroad by ownership of its stock and lease of its lines were granted Saturday in full by a decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
