Two leaders of the congressional ntidognapplng drive are Sen, Joseph S. Clark, and. Rep. Joseph Y. Resnick, If passed, the legislation could have its biggest Impact in Pennsylvania which is consid-'; ered a major center for' suppliers of laboratory animals because of its centrallocation to Eastern and Midwestern lab-oratories, A House Agriculture subcommittee already has held one hearing and plans more.

Clark plans to press early next year for similar hearings by the Senate Commerce Committee. The chances are considered good since the bill's other sponsor is Sen. Warren G. Mag-' D-Wash. the committee, chairman.

The bill's supporters contend -up to 65 per cent of the nation's research animals have been stolen. Resnick says the theft of pets is a million-dollar business and most laboratories use a substantial number of stolen cats and dogs. Opponents told the House committee the bill is discriminatory, an abridgement of state powers, poorly written and unnecessary because very few re-' search animals are stolen. The issue has generated some heat among pet lovers who have 1 written hundreds of letters to Clark and Resnick, and to the House Agriculture Committee. Under the legislation, dog and cat dealers would be licensed by the Agriculture Department which would fix standards for handling and transportation of animals.

No animals could be sold at public auction, and no dealer could sell any animaj for at least five days after he acquired it Maximum penalty for violation would be cine year in jail and a $10,000 fine. Clark said if only natural to make dognapping a federal crime since it already is a federal crime to transport' stolen cars and cattle across state lines. The Humane Society said It has found evidence of dog theft rings in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. One witness told the House subcommittee that at least four dog auctions are held weekly within 50 miles of Phila-; delphia. Another witness said some boys in Pennsylvania are paid $2 for each dog they can deliver to a dealer.
