PROBE IS WIDENE FORBONDHOLDERS Owners of Municipal, lrri-|’ gation and Reclamation Securities to Benefit. By the Associated Press. A special House investigating com-| | mittee announced today it planned to determine whether bondholders are| : being plundered on municipal, irriga- tion and reclamation project securities. The committee, headed by Repre- sentative Sabath, Democrat, of Illinois, already has made extensive inquiries into real estate bondholders’ protective | . committees, which'it says has saved millions to the bond owners and dis- closed many abuses. The House recently broadened the eommittee’s powers to look into all types of defaulted issues. The group now plans to carry its investigation of bad securities into Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and Arkansas, pressing its in- quiry on through the recess of Con- gress. Sabath said authority given the eommittee to transmit its evidence to the courts would enable it “to safe- guard and protect the interests of the bondholders, with the co-operation of the courts from further plundering by the racketeering type of so-called pro- tective real estate bondholders’ com- mittees, receivers, trustees and at- torneys.” He said there had been thousands of complaints from municipal, irriga- tion and reclamation project bond- holders, who have alleged abuses and unfair practices by protective com- mittees. . NEARLY BLIND SEE WITH ‘MICRO’ LENS Clinic Demonstrates Value of In- vention That Aids 5 Per Cent Vision. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 27.—Anxious | mothers with bewildered children came hopefully today to a clinic staged at the fourteenth annual meeting of the American Academy of Optom- etrists. They were drawn there by Dr. Wil- liam Feinbloom, research fellow in op- tometry at Columbia University, whose newly perfected “micro-vision” lens has been held forth as a key to the world of vision for 10,000 near- blind persons in New York City insti- tutions and more than 2,000 school children in blind institutions over the Nation. The new micro-vision glasses, ac- eording to Dr. Feinbloom, enable per- sons with as little as 5 per cent vision to read again and distinguish the world of color and movement. Rachel Levy, 13, almost totally blind for six years and heretofore able.to read only large newspaper headlines, read ordinary newsprint before the clinic audience. ‘Army Girl in Shaw Play at Sylvan Miss Dorothy Riess, daughter of Capt.

JOHN BARRYMORE. LOS ANGELES, August 27—Charg- ing insufficlency of fact in his wife's double-barreled divorce suit, John Barrymore has filled a counter action in his marital wrangle with Dolores Costello Bafrymore. His answer was filed yesterday. Mrs. Barrymore's first suit com- plained that her noted actor-husband drank to excess and left home without providing for the care of herself and the two Barrymore children. Her sec- ond action was identical except that it named Henry Hotchener, the actor's manager, in order to obtain a prop- erty accounting.
