ANN HARDING IS
SOME WORRIED

Hollywood, May 1S-(UP)-
Husbands-past and future-pro-
vided Ann Harding with enough
worries today to start a few streaks
of gray through her ashen blond
tresses. Ex-husband Harry Ban
mister dangled a threatened con-
tempt of court action over her
head when she refused to give a
deposition in a suit over custody
of their six-year-old daughter,
Jane. Future husband stories CEN
tering around Major Ben Straw
bridge of Honolulu-Miss Hard
ing's chief escort of late--mean-
while caused hte actress no little
anxiety.
Reports that the major and Miss
Harding were planning to fly to
Nevada to marry brought denials
from the actress lonely hilltop
home. Miss Harding's former hus-
band brought her into court on
charges that she is not proper
person to have custody of their
child. The actress declined to give
a required deposition in the pro-
ceedings on grounds that California
courts are without jurisdiction
since she was awarded custody OF
the girl in Nevada.
