Ma osterPiece Case Probe
 Questioned

Boston, July g. - GUP) - The Suffolk County grand jury may be called upon to investigate the case of the Flemish masterpiece Descent From the CroSs,'' a S50.0o0 painting which sold for $40 and later was re- turned secretly to Harvard Univer- sity where it originally was being examined to determine its authen- ticity.
 Indicating that his office might conduct an investigation, District Attorney William J. Foley said it didn't Took so good when man buys 3. painting worth thousands of dollars for $40. The name of the buy CT who returned the painting was being withheld because he was de- scribed as an innocent party to the transaction.
 Mrs. Jean Bullitt Darlington ot West Chester, Pa, who had sued Harvard for $10O,00O for loss of the painting, was to arrive here July IT to consider the matter.
 In 1940 she had sent the master piece to Harvard's Fogg Museum to learn whether it was an original Peter Paul Rubens or a copy by one of his pupils. A cousin of former Ambassador William Bullitt, she had

logical advantages, according to Dr. Feinbloom.
 These new invisible lenses will aid many people, who have been psychologically handicapped by the wearing of glasses, to resume their normal stride" Dr. Feinbloom said.
 Children from 10 years and up who have summed sports and other strenuous activities because of glasses, will be able to resume nor nal pursuits with the lenses. Sim ilarly, teen-age boys and girls, emo- tionally handicapped by the wear ing of glasses, will benefit by Dr. Feinbloom's method, he asserted.
 The patients comfort is the signi- ficant feature of Dr. Feinbloom's method. The old style contact lenses necessitated the painful process of making a mold of the eyeball As a result. lenses were fitted like a glove" with wide area of contact with the eyes This allowed the pa- tient to wear the lenses but few hours daily.
 Dr. Feinbloom's method discards the mold. The lenses float" in the eye with a minimum of contact. Pa tients wear the lenses for a period of five hours daily the first week. Soon they can wear them during most of their waking hours.
 Metropolitan opera singers Jan Peerce and Patrice Munsel wear Dr. Feinbloom's lenses during per- formances. Last season Paul Ser ringhouse, Ohio State star halfback, wore the lenses during several bruising football games.

 Mrs. Darlington never revealed the price at which she wished the pointing sold and it was still on ex- hibition at the Grace Horne Art

Church Forbids
 Women to Join Clothing Union

La Grange, Ind, July g. (UP) - One hundred women in this small ! agricultural community were faced today with the necessity of choos- ing between their religion and their jobs.
 The women, all members of the Amish and Mennonite churches, have been told that they will be communicated if they join the C.I.O. Amalgamated Clothing Work CTS Union.
 Moste Mast, an Amish deacon, said the church would not permit it's women to join the union, which is conducting a drive to organize the entire Wilson Brothers haber- dashery.
 Amos O. HosSetler, international secretary of the Mennonite Church, said he agreed with Mast, although he pointed out that in the past church members had been granted immunity from union membership.
 The two faiths hold that mem- bership in any organization other than the church is sin.
 We have tod them what they must do,'' Mast said. If they join the union they must leave the church. If the company says they must join the union, then they must quit their jobs"

Invisible
 Lens Given |ToScience

Pittsburgh, July - GUP) - A newly perfected invisible lens which may enable 30 million Americans to throw away their spectacles was described today by New York eye specialist.
 Dr. William Feinbloom, who de- veloped the lenses after 8 years of research, disclosed his product in a paper read before the 49th annual congress of the American Opto- metric Association which opened here yesterday. ..--..
 The lenses, which are totally in- visible when inserted in the eyes, are made of unbreakable. plastic. They enable the Wearer to see bet ter than with his regular spectacles or the contact lenses of a decade ago.
 Contributes to Science
 Dr. Feinbloom, a fellow in the American Academy of Optometry and a former research fellow at Co., lumbia University, has given his method to science. The association invited him to describe his tech nique.
 Aside from the physical comfort, the lenses offer unlimited psycho-

Kogon was hit often, but the

the punch to do it. but landing it
