In order to help those who sent in wrong solutions. I shall show the defense to their moves. P-Q8(Q)ch would be answered by BxQ. R-K, by B-Q6. R-K6ch by NxR, and the Queen cannot mate because of the pin. N-K4ch is impossible because of the pin.

L.A. Times Problem No. 381 by V. Rosado, First Prize. From the Cincinnati Enquirer, V.L. Eaton Theme Task Composing Tourney. White mates in three.
FEN RR2B3/2pr4/P1k1p3/4Pp2/Pp3Pp1/1PNN1qPp/2PK3P/7Q w - - 0 1
Key: R-QN5!/Rb5
In regard to this problem, Dr. P.G. Keeney, editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer chess column, said: “A splended and beautiful achievement of the task. Apparently perfect in all details. The originator of the theme expressed himself as being delighted with the composition and tenders his thanks to Mr. Rosado for the dedication. Worthy of special mention in the solution of this beauty is the thematic self-pin and unpin echo set of the two knights.”
