Dear Mrs. n. ":
Isn't II possible that the
rumors about the girl in Canada
are exaggerated: Your brother
may merely have found some
companiOnship with n girl there,
such as many soldiers have found
under the auspices OF the USO.
IL both YOU and your brothers

that your brother has really had
a change of heart, my suggestion
would be different. But 70 many

In such affairs, that I believe
YOU should do all YOU can Ia

Baltimore Lawyers
To Challenge Validity
OF Work-or-FightLa Law
Retained by New York
Group to Make Test of

BY the Associated Press.

lands work r-f1ght law appeared
in the making today after the an
nouncement by Joseph I. Paper,
Baltimore attorney. yesterday that
he had been retained by the Work.
ers Defense League of New York in
the matter.
Mr.. Paper said he did not know
whether the American Civil Liber-
ties Union was concerned with the
leagues efforts to bring the statute
to court, but added it might be a
possibility that the union was CO.
operating.
He and Baltimore Attorney
Charles j. Stinchcomb, his associate,
said they would take no action un-
til the proper case" was presented
to them.
MY action would depend on the
nature of the case" Mr.. Stinchcomb
declared ut might be that there
would be some case not proper to
DeCOIIle lIlpOlVtu WILL, dllu again
there might be some proper test
case"
Mr.. Paper said the attorneys opin-
ion "is that it (the work fight
law is unconstitutional. Otherwise
we would not have agreed to act as
counsel. But 1t is for the courts
to decide"
The law, effective in IA counties,
provides that every male citizen be-
tween the ages of Is and go who is
not in the armed forces, the teach
ing or ministerial professions must
accept employment at the prevailing
wage.
In Montgomery County recently

provisions, was released after serving
