Writer with personal experience wants legalized prostitution By PEACE MOFFAT AP Newsfeaturcs Writer NEW YORK A Xa'viera Hollander is a 29- year-old woman with long, blonde hair that she wears with Dutch boy bangs; a sculptured face with high cheekbones; an outspoken manner; a quick laugh and a somewhat unusu- al profession. She was "The Happy Hook- er" and she has recently writ- ten a book by that name about her life as a prostitute and ma- dame. And she also testified before the Knapp Commission which was investigating police cor- ruption in New York City. In her roomy penthouse apartment here, where lights shine from behind plastic plants, where the mirror behind a plush red sofa reflects an equally plush red bar, and where the phone rings con- stantly, Miss Hollander played with her pet dog, a beagle named Bagel, and talked about her career. She said that al- though she is retired now, she still: thinks prostituUoji shpuld be legalized; 'If handled in a sophisticated way, prostitution is a victim- less crime," she says, leaning back in the sofa and kicking off her shoes.

"It should be like a social service. It's the oldest profession and having it legal- ized works fine in Europe. listics have shown that sex crimes go down when there is legalized prostitution. "If you would make it legal, it would help eliminate police. corruption," she goes on.

"I gave thousands of dollars to pay off policemen. I would have prostitution be legal and pay high taxes." Miss Hollander advocates setting up medically and legal- ly-controlled brothels, which she says will elir 'nate street walkers. And the street walkers generally have pimps, she says that will also help eliminate drug traffic. "A pimp will put a girl in business," Miss Hollander ex- plains. "Then, if she doesn't want to work, he'll shoot her full of dope, and get her started on a habit.

A lot of street hook- ers are just plain runaways," she adds. "They don't neces- sarily come from bad fami- lies." Over 300 slyles in our collections from which you can choose. Buy from a reputable jewel- ry store over 91 years of serving this area. JfWHERS Miss Hollander herself'was in-Indonesia of a Dutch doctor father and a German- French mother. She was educa- ted in Europe and says she speaKs sevMflanguages.

Origi- nally, she came to the United States to be married, but the engagement did not work out, and she says she became first a call girl and then a madame. She has had to change apart- ments eight limes in two and half years, has been arrested "three or four times" and there was a possibility she would be deported but she recently agreed to leave the country. She says she wrote her book, which has become a best-seller, at the instigation of a friend. ''I thought it would be a good idea because a lot of people have misconceptions about prosti- tutes," she says. "And I think it's been successful because of curiosity." Miss a thinks prostitution will be legal- ized here eventually, she doesn't believe her profession will ever be respectable.

But, she adds quickly, "I loved every bit of what I did. My mother found out that's my only regret." Recently she's been lecturing on college campuses, and she says there's another book in the offing. And as for marriage "I'd like to get married some- day," she says. "But I'm a lot more choosey now." Church activities will meet Friday at 2 p.m. at First Baptist Church.

No cards sent. A Lovelier You A THICKENING WAISTLINE By Mary Sue Miller Your weight may be normal, and yet you can carry a roll of flesh around your waist. The cause then is not extra pounds but lack of exercise. Of course measurements take on blimp proportions if you are both over- weight and underexer- cised. In such a fix you have to combine exercise and diet.

Otherwise a daily workout turns the trick. Either way, the following routine acts to trim and hold the line: 1. Stand tall and grasp waist at either side be- tween thumbs and fore- fingers with palms rest- ing behind back. With- out moving fingers, draw in waist. Now estimate how much air space there is between curve of waist and that formed by fingers.

Repeat 10 times, always trying to increase air space. (Idea Here is to strengthen the muscles that let the flesh spill over.) 2. Lie back down on floor with feet together and arms stretched over head. At same time, raise right leg and left arm toward ceiling; keeping knee straight and bend- ing waist, try to touch left hand to right instep. Alternat- ing sides, perform 10 to 20 times.

(Action trims flesh.) Faithful work whittles up to 2 inches a month. Once the job is done, keep the waist in shape by using the same routine--halve the count. Why, you'll be able io weai bare midriff fashions. And even if you don't wish to, it's nice to know you could!
