The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-08-22
BY ANN HARDING

Hollywodo, Cai.---At the age .of 10 when I decided thHt some day ] would change my lpnrental cog nomen for Ann HardfpgS 1t was with no thought that electric lights on a thcatcr marquee would spell the name of my choice.
 On tho contrary 1 hoped to see 1t staring Up at me from the 1ow- CT right hand corner of q book cover, in t1fe space reserved for the authors name.
 There never has been q time when l hayen't wanted to write. As q child, { used to think, cons tinually of story plots. I used to write childish yarns and I imagine they were pretty bad. Unfortun- ately. or perhaps. fortunately, none fthem arc left for me to read now. I never had the courage to show them to anyone. so they usually found il grave in the fire- place. However, am quite sure that If acting hadn't claimed me, would be writing novels now.
 1 had one teacher who epcour- aged me. -Her name wns Mss Harding. That is why l determined to use her name for my literary alias, deciding on the Ann" be- cause thought they sounded well togethers9
 During my early years my whole life was pointed toward q writing career. loved to study faces on street cars. making up stories as to the past of each one while doing so. fs.
 when I loft school and went to work for an insurance company. the desire to write still Burned. But eight hours a day 'ofttyping leave n girl with little time nHd less energy for studying the tech4 ntaue of writing. And I always have believed that writing.'in com mon with all other professions, demands training and experience to really bring out talent. 1 didn't want to Dc just a writer. wanted to be Q good one.
 If was with screen writing in mind that visited the Paramount Long Island studio and asked to be given some home reading to do. felt that studying contemporary fiction. analysing its possibilities for the screen and weighing the things which made the story either god or bad would be invalua ble to me.
 As you know did become m actress. But one doesn't forget

 Swope Agrees
 Amplifying the contention of Sec retary Mellon, Gerald Swope, Presi- dent of the General Electric Com pany, told the International Cham Der that responsibility for the regu- larization of unemployment rests on industry. He said that the more completely the regularization of employment is affected the less will be the necessity for unemployment insurance or charitable relief meas ures on the part of industry or the community"

Important Road Matters Get Chamber of Com
 merce's s Attention
(Continued from Page One)

A letter from Delegate in Con gress James Wickersham relative to federal purchase of the block of ground opposite the Capitol was submitted by H. L. Faulkner, chair man of the Capitol Grounds Com mittee.
 The Delegate wrote that he had arranged for conference with United States Treasury officials in the near future to determine if they had the authority and the funds to acquire the desired ground without further act of Congress.
 John Rustgard called attention to the fact that bill recently intro duced in Congress asked for S400,- 900 to erect a monument to Seward, at Seward, Alaska. H. B. LeFevre and R. R. Marco suggested that a more appropriate site for the mon ument would be in the block of ground in front of the Capitol.
 President Concurs
 Their suggestions received the concurrence of Doctor Council. AL though there is no likelihood of en- actment by Congress in the near future of a measure for the erec- tion of a Seward monument, never theless the subject was referred to the Capitol Grounds committee with the request that it's members keep the matter in mind.

 At the suggestion of Secretary Walmsley, the Jun eau Chamber voted to affiliate with the Alaska Chamber of Commerce and to pay the first years dues of $87.50 to that body. On the board of man. agers of the Alaska Chamber, the Juneau Chamber is entitled to five members. Three of these mem bers were recently chosen by the Juneau Chambers executive com mittee. They are R. E. Robertson, Allen Shattuck and G. H. Walms- lev. Their selection was ratified I
 by the Juneau Chamber today, and the executive committee was di- rected to select the remaining two members within the next week.
 Executive Secretary Explains
 M. s. Whittier, executive secre- tary of the Alaska Chamber, said he had notified all community chambers in the Territory of the amounts of their dues to the Alas ka Chamber and that until com munity chambers took favorable ac- ton on utilization and payment of dues. the $5,O00 appropriated for the use of the Territorial body by the recent Legislature would not be available.
 Secretary Walmsley announced that the executive committee had named Delma Hanson as clerk to take charge of the Chambers ln- formation bureau on Front Street this summer.
 To Receive Flier A. B. Hayes and M. 5. JorgenSei' were appointed committee to re- ceive Seiji Yoshihara, Japanese flier. on his arrival here about May 21.
 Hal B. Selby, who has just as- sumed the editorship of Stroler's Weekly, and Verl Groves, who re- gently opened an automobile paint and repair business at Main Street and Willoughby Avenue, were in- troduced, as new members of the Chamber and made brief remarks

PIE A
NOT GUILTY

Robert F. Langdon, suspended
Fifth precinct policeman, who is
being held without bail as a
suspect in the murder of Beulah
Limerick, today was arraigned on
the recent indictment charging
him with violating the prohibi-
ton law and entered a plea of
not guilty before Justice Peyton
Gordon in Criminal Court.
Langdon is represented by At
torney Harry T. Whelan, who OBJ
tanned permission of the court to
change his plea or file other
pleas attacking the indictment
within five days.
Mr.. Whelan indicated that
within the permitted time he
would file a motion to suppress
evidence taken in the raid by
Langdon's fellow officers.
While the investigation into
the murder of Miss Limerick was
at it's height, and Langdon was
already in custody, investigating
officers were admitted to his
home by his wife for the purpose
of searching for evidence to link
him with the crime.
An indictment in three counts
followed against Langdon charg-
ing him with violating the In
ternal Revenue laws in having an
unregistered still in his posses
sion; a second count is laid un.
der the prohibition law and
charges him with possessing equip
ment designed for the manufac-
ture of intoxicating liquor, and 4
third count accuses him of having
in his possession a quantity of rye
whisky.
Question of Rights
It is believed that Mr.. Whelan's
first move will be directed toward
suppression of the evidence be,
cause he has already announced
his belief that the search of the
officers home at 1882 Oates st.
N E., January 7, was in violation
of his constitutional rights.
Whelan points out that the in
vestigating officers, who held no
warrant, were admitted to the
house by Mrs. Langdon.
Police claim, however, that
Langdon while in custody had
directed his wife to allow the Of
ficers to make the investigation,
and this order the District At
torney's office is expected to claim
amounted to a waiver of his con-
stitutional right.
