For the first time since the civil

"CLOSED SHOP"
Local Bar Association to
Oppose Formation OF In
tegrated Bar

Opinion against the formation of
an migrated bar has crystallized
in this city with the appointment
of a committee to oppose the or
ganization of a statewide unit,
which would make all Connecticut
barristers ineligible to practice I'M
less they became members of the
group.

aniel r. Bronson, chairman; John
H. Cassidy, John D. Thoms and
Sidney s. Cassel, will appear at a
meeting of the states 20 superior
and supreme court judges, Monds y,
January 26, to fight the petition
Members of the committee base
their opposition on the view that
sufficient disciplinary measures al
ready exist, and that such a move
would centralize power in the hands
of comparatively few, contrary to
the democratic set-up prevailing in
the State Bar association.
The proposal would create an
autonomous association, IN kin G
membership of all Connecticut law
yers mandatory. Dues. usually not
more than IS annually, would be
assessed, and failure to pay the
yearly fee would cause the delin-
quent to forfeit his right to prac-
tice. Integrated bars have already
been organized in twenty four
states.
OF Connecticut's 2,400 attorneys,
fewer than 300 are members of the
State Bar association, and many are
not members of either the state,
county or local groups.

CUARDSMEN BACK
TO PRIVATE JOBS

State guardsmen of the third
battalion were back at their civilian
jobs today, having been demobilized
Saturday after six weeks of special
duty guarding factories, utilities and
other key defense points. They were
replaced by private guards.
At farewell dinner at the state
armor., Saturday, Major Peter E
Fox, battalion commander, praised
The guardsmen for the manner in
which they carried out their assign
mentS.
The Women,s Motor Corps, which
furnished cars for the guardsmen,
temporarily ended its special duty
Saturday. A report to Col. Samuel

tor, stated that SIS cars were on call

razor blade. Otherwise, he couldn't
have sene where he was driving. He
will learn from this that Miss Lom-
bard was the culprit.
None Escaped Her
No one around her escaped these
pranks, not even Clark Gable. He
had finished a picture in which
he ad a role Of which he was par
ticularly proud. He probably show
ed it a little too much. At any rate,
package, impressively wrapped,
was delivered to him. Inside was a
ham, done up in blue ribbon.
When he had finished his part
in "Parnell," one of the worst
movies Of all time, she showered him
with congratulatory messages from
an airplane.
She was born in Fort Wayne, In
diana, in 1903, and her mother
brought her here while she still was
a child. She served two appren-
ticeships - the first in an exclusive
finishing school for young ladies,
at the behest Of her mother; the
second in Mack Sennett's Academy
for hurting custard pies and wear
ing a bathing suit with grace and
spirit. but only after she had talked
her family into letting her be an
actress.
The rest Of her years she re-
tanned an u,lcanny accuracy in hurl-
ing pie and was willing to demon
strate. But professionally, her
career as bathing queen and pie
thrower was not long. She gradu-
ated to the horse opry, and became
the screen sweetie of such mighty
males as Buck Jones and Tom Mix.
But they never would let me get
in the fight" she would lament. re-
calling those days. II had to shipper
at the hero and scream with terror
when the heavy came after me.
They never would let me get in there
and give the william a good kick in
the hustle"
SIS Per Week
Miss Lombard was paid SIS week
as horse opry queen. But her
reign didn't last long for she soon
came in demand in all the studios
as kind of blond rival to Clara
Bow. Those were the years when
the Brooklyn bon fire wa sat her
height. Miss Lombard wore skin
tight dresses, which revealed every
curve, and when she danced for the
cameras, she used so much energy
she seemed to CULVER all over. She
was gay always then. She hit all
the hot spots; went to all the par
ties.
In 1881, in the midst of this phase
of her career, she married William
Powell - you know, 1.-The Thin
Man" - and, when another phase
was beginning, divorced him four
years later.
It wasn't until then, when they
no longer were man and wife. that
she co-starred with him in movie
that represented a new type and
was so successful that it gave the
industry a new pep and upped her
salary check to 100000 a year. The
picture was my Man Godfrey. 1t
was the first of the screwball COM
edieS. Miss Lombard became the
first and the greatest of the screw
balls, and she did it with her eyes
wide open.

II. she was The girl who opposed
war on principle, who once threat
ened to chain Clark Gable to barn
door If he tried to enlist, but,
when her country bacame involved
in war, became one of the most in
defatigable war workers In Holly
wood.
And she died in the service OF her
country. She had gone to Indiana
polls to aid In the campaign to sell
defense bonds, sold $4,000 900 worth,
and died in the airplane that was
returning her home from the tour
Of duty on the home front.
She disapproved Of war in princi-
pie, but she responded instantly
when her country's destiny became
dependent upon war, giving all a
woman could to aid 1t. The greatest
thing she sacrificed was her home
to which she had retired while her
movie career was at its height. She
returned to the screen In order to
pay the huge taxes on the huge in
cmoe she could earn and thus aid
her country's war effort.
Two Sides In Life
Carole Lombard had two sides, and
this serious idealistic side was the
one her public didn't know. The one
1t did know-the gay, laughing blond
girl impelled by high spirits into
endless impish pranks, was just as
much a part Of her. Indeed, her
sense Of fun off the screen, in her
private life, equaled the Sc nse OF
fun so evident In her last movies.
Once at a Hollywood party, the
guests played follow Leader and
Miss Lombard was the leader. Her
boss, a leader in the industry, a
gentleman of millions and of dig
nifty, she felt was too stiff and grand
She spoke to servant and then
began leading the guests on a
merry chase through the big house
She led them at last to bathroom
where filled tub awaited her. She
waded through 1t, and, Of course,
those who followed, including the
magnate, had to do likewise.

put his pretty pants in the drink. y
She rode around her studio on q
motor scooter. If anybody carried
a packet Of sneeze powder, she told
him where to distribute it.
Robert Montgomery Learned
something Of her pranks in the 1910
presidential campaign. He was one
Of Wendell Wilkes most ardent
supporters in Hollywood. At the
time, he was co-starring with Miss
Lombard In movie. Every night
before he could start home from
the studio, he had to scrape the
Roosevelt stickers from his windows
