A brief review of a first order theory with a quadratic LagrangianL=R+Ω0R2 is presented. It is shown that a test particle follows a geodesic of the metric connection. The theory behaves in the Newtonian limit as the Newtonian theory with a correction which is proportional to the matter density at the field point. This behavior can be produced by a Yukawa potential with an atomic scale characteristic rangeλ and a coupling constantα proportional to 1/λ 2. This type of potential is not excluded by the present experimental data.
