 The issue, involving the Catholic church law against divorce, is to be decided in Federal Court here this fall.
 Kerens, the son of Richard C.. Kerens, St. Louis railroad magnate and one-time Ambassador to Aus tria- Hungary, once was a dashing figure in St. Louis society. Now his attorneys claim he has been a good boy" long enough.
 The will of his father, who died 12 years ago, provided Vincent should receive one-third of a ST. 100000 estate upon completing five consecutive years of contin- ued sobriety and good behavior" Two sisters and another brother were the other beneficiaries.
 For a time the younger Kerens continued his escapades in efforts to break the will. Becoming a soldier of fortune, he served in the aviation corps during the World War, later joining the British army. Sent to Siberia, he was decorated for valor three times.
 At home Kerens set out to meet requirements of the will. He en- tered the brokerage business in Texas and walked the straight and narrow" according to affida- wits.

! PASS final TESTS
Three Britons and italian Trio
Ready for SeapIane Classic
Tomorrow.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CALSHOT, England, September g.
All the entries for the Blue ribbon
Schneider Cup air race successfully
passed their navigability trials in the
Solent before noon today.
The actual races will take place to-
morrow. The trials today consisted of
each machine taxing across the start
ing line, flying in a short circuit, land
ing and taxing at least a half-mile at
a speed of not less than IL knots.
Seaworthiness Is Proven.
The performance then had to be re-
peated, and after another short flight,
the starting line recrossed and the ma
chimes moored for six hours to test
water-tightness. The idea was that the
machines would prove by rising and
taxing at will their general maneuver-
ing ability and that they are real sea-
planes.
The British flying team passing the
tests consisted of Flight Officer H. r. D.
Waghorn, flying the supermarine Rolls
Royce Sc; Flight Lieut.. Darcy Grieg,
with q Supermarine Napier So, and
Flight Lieut.. r. L. r. Atcherly, with q
supermarine SIS. Lieut. G. H. Stainforth
with Gloster Napier 6 was reserve
pilot.
The italian team was composed Of
Warrant Oficer Tomaso Dal Molin,
flying o Macchi So; Lieut.. Rano Cad
ringher. with a Macchi 81; Lieut.. Gio-
vanni Monti, with Macchi 81, and as
reserve. pilots Maj. Agello and Capt.
Canaveri. The Italian team had with
them, assigned to Dal Molin, the plane
on which Maj. Bernhard set up o
worlds record of 318.5 miles per hour.
Wales Watches Tests.
Thousands Of visitors watched the
tests from points along the triangular
course. The Prince Of Wales arrived in
time to watch the trials from Hendon
Airdrome, near London. He came in q
tiny moth airplare, piloted by Squadron
Leader Don. The Prince win be the
guest of Sir Philip Sassoon tonight and
will watch the race tomorrow from a
ship.
when the nag was hoisted on the
warship Media to indicate that each
competitor had successfully completed
the f1rst part of the qualifying round,
British and Italians cheered indiscrimi-
nately for all pilots. The Italians were
particularly enthusiastic with viva Mo-
lin when their star entry, Dial Molin,
climbed from his cockpit.

BY the Associated Press.

6y the ASSOclhteu FTeSS.
The Senate agriculture committee de-
,cided today to call the members Of the
new Federal Farm Board to examine
their qualifications in ONCE at open
hearings.
Chairman McNary Of the committee
sent word TO the board members to ap-
pear at their convenience, probably late
next week
There have been signs of opposition
to several Of the board members.
Several Senators from the Northwest
are displeased over the policy announced
by Chairman Legge that the farmers
and co-operatives must exhaust other
means of credit before applying to the
board for loans.
A provision In the bill to require such
o policy was Striken out in the Senate
and therefore some Senators feel that
4eGge and the board are going con-
trary 70 the expressed viii Of Congress.
In addition. a number Of Senators
believe the board should make available
its $500, 900 900 fund at the per cent
interest rate without requiring farmers
to borrow all they can elsewhere at
higher interest rates.
Senators Brookhart of Iowa and La
Toilette of Wisconsin, both Republicans,
probably will participate in the commit
tees examination, although they are not
members Of the committee.
It is the intention Of Senator Nc
Nary to have each member of the board
come before the committee, starting
with Chairman Legge.
