Maryland. Thimlay. Juae 29. 1966. DdllV I Mail omen, 6 Laws Need Changing When Charges Phony DEAR ANN LANDERS: I stared in disbelief at your reply to the man who helped the little girl in the men's room of the church recently.

To refresh your memory: A little girl about 4 years old wandered into the men's bathroom and pleaded, "I have to go. Please help me." The man did help the little lady in distress and then, as he was leading her out, one of the other men berated him for having taken such a chance. "We all could have been arrested on a phonv molesting charge," he said. "Don't make such a stunid mistake again." The gallant gentleman wrote to ask you if the guy was right. When you backed him up I almost dropped my eyeglasses in the coffee.

I am no Philadelphia lawyer but it seems to me that if a man of good Intentions and good character can be arrested on a molesting charge for assisting a child in a church restroom, then some of our laws need changing. a good thine you aren't a ballplayer, Ann You'd be ridins the hench fnr that one. -DULUTLE DUKE Dear When you nid wir lawi chant- Inf wtrtn't cltckin' mtlari.

Tuesday, ran un a tree and stationed himself on a branch about 15 feet from the ground. The tree is on a steep, rocky hill, which means it would not be easy to use a ladder there.

The night Tuesday ran up the tree we called the animal rescue league. They said they were very busy and shorthanded hut that they would try to send a man in a day or so if they possibly could find somebody. This morninc I called the league ajain and they said someone had hocn out last night. The man they sent decided the tree was in a very dangerous spol and a he was not going to risk his life trying to net the cat down. He left without even rinsinc our doorbell to tell us of his" decision.

I asked the man on the phone what we should do. He replied. "Wait a few days and the cal will come down bv himself." He didn't say whether the cat would be dead or alive I think it is just horrible that people call themselves rescuers of animals and then refute to help an animal in distress. Please print my letter and vnur comments. -UP A TREE Dear Up: By timo you road thti reply Tuesday will como down alivo.

I am told by a woman who works with the Antc-Cruolty Ltifuo of Chicago that In hor II ytan of experience hn never hoard of a tread cat that didn't como down on hii own eventually.
