NICK DE CAROLS IS GIVEN THREE
 MONTHS IN JAIL
Family Dispute of Long Standing Was Ended in
 City Court To-day

Failure to follow court order of July 23rd resulted today in a jail sentence of three months for Nick DeCarolis, 43, of 17SS North Main street. Ordered at that time to give half of his weeks pay for the support of his wife and chill dren. De Carolis not only failed to do so but in court this morning refused to consider allowing his wife and youngsters to return to live with him.
 The jail sentence was imposed for the technical offense of non- support but the actual violation was of probation, on which all are put who are ordered to make weekly payments for support of families.
 DeCarolis has been in and out of city court for the last month having been arrested after he had allegedly forced his wife and chil- dren to leave his home. During the first hearing, before Judge John F | McGrath, Decarolis accused his wife, who is a deaf mute, of hav- | ing an affair with a baker. He produced note to support his claim but the note turned to be of a harmless nature.
 On July 23 DeCarolis was or dered by Judge Edward Mascolo. who imposed the sentence today. to give half his pay for the sup port of his wife and children. When he failed to do so he was arrested again on Friday and the case continued till today.
 In court this morning, the judge gave DeCarolis an opportunity to become reconciled with his wife and allow her and the children to return to their home, but he re- fused. He will not begin serving the three months until tomorrow morning.

 OPENING FIGHT
l37 of Them Going to the Supreme Court on the
 Retirement Act

Washington, Aug. 1S - (UP) - An attack upon the constitution ality of the railroad retirement act was made in district supreme court today in an injunction suit filed in behalf of 137 railroad companies from virtually every state.
 The suit was forecast several weeks ago as the government be- gan plans for enforcing the act which provides for employe-car- workers. The plaintiffs charged that congress exceeded its powers under the commerce clause of the constitution in passing the bill.
 The means by which the act prescribes for the promotion of efficiency and safety of interstate transportation are unreasonable and arbitrary" the suit states.
 Listed among the complaints of the railroad company are the fol- lowing:
 l. The act unlawfully imposes upon the carriers the obligation to pay large sums into the U. S. treasury as contributions to a com mon fund for the payment of annuities to their employees.
 ?. It unlawfully interferes with arrangements; unlawfully classifies and discriminates against them.
 3. The act discloses on its face that it is experimentation at the expense of the railroads.
 The suit is directed against the railroad retirement board, con- sisting of Murray w. Latimer, John T. Williamson and Lee M. Eddy.
 The plaintiff companies demand that the court restrain the board from prosecuting them for failure to comply with the act and further that the court declare "the act an6 each and every provision thereof void and of no effect.

Government Going After the Racketeers in Matt
 ter of Prices
By WILLIAM A. BELL United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, Aug 13-(UP)- The administration today planned drastic means to suppress profiteer- ing believed likely to develop in the wake of the drought that has destroyed crops in two-thirds of the nations farmlands.
 With higher food prices inevit- able and scattered reports of food hoarding already coming in, gov ernment agencies put their ma chinery in order to squelch efforts by anyone to profit unfairly out of the national calamity.
 Summary action against any pro- fiteers was promised. Even without profiteering, rise in the cost of bread and butter cannot be avoid ed Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace warned.
 The agricultural adjustment ad- ministration, already concerned with problems of raising the prices farmers receive for their crops, will make it its job to see that the consumer is not victimized as a re- suit of the drought shortage.

THREE YOUTHFUL WANDERERS ARE
 GIVEN LODGING
Came Here From Balti= more and Picked Up By
 One of Local Police

After "seeing the world" for a week IT year old boy and two 16 year old girls, all from Baltimore, Md, agreed this morning that po- lice station was warm and com fortable, that hot food certainly tasted good and that they'd be mighty glad to see their parents again.
 Softened by the mellow influ- ence of warmth and food the three youngsters, who were picked up in the center last night, told police the story of their weeks wander ings. During the morning. while chatting with detectives, the trio admitted that they had been lying when they claimed last night that the boy and one of the girls had been married and that the other girl was accompanying them on their honeymoon.
 Dreary Honeymoon
 It didn't look anything like honeymoon when the three were in Exchange place last night. They were soaked to the skin, shivering with cold and perhaps tinge of fear. The boy had lent one of the girls his coat and she had it drawn tightly about her. All they had be- tween them was an extra pair of trousers and a lone cigarette.
 Patrolman John Girch saw them huddled in a doorway and was talking to them when Motor Pa- trolmen Charles Caffrey and John Meaney drove by. The youngsters were cold and hungry, so the po- licemen brought them to head quarters. The boy gave his name as Alan Hotchkiss of 1927 St. Paul street; his "wife" claimed her name was Mary Hotchkiss and her address 1123 McKean avenue. The second girls name was Betty Trundle, and she said she was Mary's sister.

Qualifiers for match play in
next weeks District amateur golf
championship will not be paired
under the old U. S. G.. A. system.
Officials of the District Golf
Association announced today that
the 16 low scorers will be drawn
from a hat for match play. This
is the same method that will be
employed at the National amateur
championship at Brookline, Mass,
next month.
The local championship has
been decided by medal play since
1920, but the return to match play
brings up the problem of paiIngS.
Under the old U. S. G.. A. system,
qualifiers for the National anna
teur were paired according to the
scores and outstanding players
generally were given easy oppo-
nents for the earlier rounds. This
was the system followed by local
clubs in their invitation tourna-
mentS.
At its annual meeting last
March, the District Golf Associa-
ton decided to restore the match
play style for the local champion
ship as lure for more entries.
Only twelve took part in the 1888
championship and it was argued
more would turn out were the
championship decided at match
play. Another inducement Was
the reduction of the entry fee
from So to So.
The local championship will he
played next Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday over the Columbia
Country Club course. Qualifying
is listed Wednesday with match
play rounds Thursday and Friday.
There will be only one flight of
sixteen.
Privileges of the course are ex-
tended entrants for Monday and
Tuesday while entries are to close
Monday with DR.. w. C. Barr at
the Columbia Country Club at 6
p. m. The entry fee is So.
Competition for the Woodward
and Lothrop Trustees Cup takes
place Saturday at East Potomac
Park, with j. Dixon DodSon, last
years low net winner, and D.

winner, again entered. Others ex-
