Life's Tragedies! Victims of Depression Unable to Support Aged Parents = Lose Homes, Battle Sickness = Judge Orders Discharge, Aid Recommended.

Aged 52 and 55, two Italian residents of this city were ar- raigned in city court this morning on charges of non-support of their parents. They were arrested on complaint of three sisters, also well advanced in years, who have assumed a portion of the burden of parental support.
 Both men were discharged. T couldn't pass an order in that case" said Judge Mascolo, when the two men, in very mild manner had poured forth a tale of poverty and near-despair which had the entire court attendance wide-eyed with wonder.
 Small Wages
 Probation Officer Emil Hummel displayed pay envelopes of one of the men-showing that the highest wages he has earned since Decem- Der have been $11-and the lowest $5. The other man said he was

working for the WPA and had sick wife and daughter to care for.
 Both men, former property own CTS, showed proof that they had lost all because of their impover- ished circumstances. An appeal to the welfare department was mentioned by Judge Masclo, and one of the sisters answered that this measure had been taken in vain-"Because they said we should support our parents" she exclaim- ed.
 Cites Law
 Here MT. Hummel interpreted. "But the law says that such sup port shall be ordered only if the children have the means"
 Judge Mascolo agreed with MT. Hummel. The latter was instruct ed to seek aid for the persons involved from the welfare depart men.
