Currently, the league is pros­ecuting the New Forest Fox­hounds in southwest England forcruelty for trappinga fox inside awater-filled drainpipe and send­ing a terrier to getitout.Cruelty isalleged to both the fox and theterrier.

The trend appears to favor theanti-hunting lobby.

In a Gallup Poll released inAugust, 69 percent of those re­sponding favored a ban on foxhunting, compared to 55 percentin 1978.

In November, the OxfordshireandSUrrey countycouncilsvotedto outlaw fox hunting on theirland, bringing the total to 30 outof 47 county councils.

Vestey also is chairman of theMasters of Foxhounds Associa­tion, the governing body of foxhunting, which controls formalhunts and makes the rules.

The Field Sports Society videosays hunting is a humane way ofdisposing of animals that costfarmers millions a year in lostlivestock, andalso isvital to ruraleconomies, It says hunters ben­efit from the exercise, compan­ionship and thrill of the chase.

At the same time, one of theofficersof theFilipinoCommunity(CNMI) Inc., (FilCom) questionedthepositionof the country'sLaborAttacheon the group's proposal.

"Should they waitfor theabusestoget worsebeforeappropriate ac­tions are taken," BayaniCambronero, Secretary of the or­ganizationsaid over the weekend.

galizingprostitutionintheCNMI,the government can designatespecific areas where to place the"sex for fee business."

The Public Defender brushedaside the moraland socialeffectsof legalizing prostitution. Thereare some sectors who would al­ways oppose anything, he said.

After reading the legislativehistoryof PublicLaw 8-14, itwasapparent that some of those whoopposed it were just concernedabout their husbands spendingfamilymoney for sex in prostitu­tionhouses,according to the law­yer.

Makingprostitutionillegalonl ymakes some men more' aggres­sive and curious in having sexwith women not their wives, hesaid.

Aside from being able to con­trol and regulate prostitutionshoulditbecomelegal,fines,taxescan also be generated frorn it,DeRienzosaid.

The government, he said, canimpose stringent fmes for indi­vidualswho violatesomeregula­tions on prostitution.

However if it remains in thehands of underground organiza­tions,thegovernmentcanonlygoafter those individuals who areinto prostitution. The rest, espe­ciallythe"big" personbehind thebusinesswill remain at large andunpunished, the PublicDefendersaid.

DeRienzo's recommendationsfolloweda motionlast week by aGuam-based lawyer seeking tovoid Public Law 8-14.

Atty. Anita Arriolasaid in herdefenseof AlmaLiarta,one of the16arrestedwomen,thatthe legis­lation is ambiguous and confus­ing that it has to be junked by thecourt.

She cited thecomments raisedby Governor Lorenzo Guerreroand the Attorney General's Of­fice on the measure that also de­scribeditasconfusingand vague.

DeRienzoechoedArriola's ar­gument in yesterday's interviewwith the Variety.

Members of the legislature arecurrentlypushingfortheapprovalof an amendment version of theanti-prostitution law.

Rep. Ana S. Teregeyo haswarned that inaction on theamendments might result to thevoiding of the measure, appar­ently referring to motion byArriola that seeks to declare thepiece of legislation unconstitu­tional.

Owners of prostitution housescould alsoberegulatedbyrequir­ing themtohireonly women whomeet the age limit as may be im­posed by the government. Theymust also be required to recruitindividuals who are willing towork as prostitutes and shouldnot force anyone.

Banning prostitution is futile,according to DeRienzo, since hesaid some gangsters are forcedtooperate underground white sla­very business.

This is what is happening inJapanrightnow,hesaid. Becauseprostitution is illegal in Japan,teenagers as young as 13 are ab­ducted and are forced into whiteslavery by gangsters, DeRienzosaid. Thus. the government thereis having difficulty trying to stop
