(Observer Photo) t's fo Getting So Tell Uncle That Sam WASHINGTON UPI When bus company works its drivers 'ertime it has to tell the govern ent about this at the end of the onth. using report from BMC-61, ivering overtime worked by bus ivers. When it doesn't work em overtime, naturally it sn't' have to file this report. What it has to file then is re rt form BMC-62. covering over Tie not worked by bus drivers. A House subcommittee which U been studying such manifesta ns of government says we'll ive to jump to our own conclu des why this is so. It's been uch too busy to look into it fur er. The subcommittee discov cd almost 5.000 different report rms being showered by the gov nment on business men and her taxpayers, and it has hard- had time even to get 'em all tinted.

"Plenty,"' the defendant replied. judge sat back to listen to fcati's description of his mari r strategy. "I remember hitting her three rfour times," Rosati said. He en quickly explained his hand as forced." The judge nodded. fFirst of all," the defendant tlnued, "my wife is very high fling, you know, the nervous pe. There are just three ways e handle such a woman." Ford's interest quickened. You can hold her hands,' teati said, "but when you let she starts all over again, ringing wildly, right? Then you It tie her hands, but this has 4 same end result for when you sie her she starts kicking up all tr again right? The judge appeared to get the Ait and sat back for the elusion.

One Has Everything A Pennsylvania firm with 300 workers said it filed 1.523 reports in a year, on 71 separate forms. The Commerce Department and its Census Bureau administer a lot of the inquiries. But other peo ple keep getting into the act. The subcommittee found 60 fed eral agencies collecting statistics. Others need reports for regula tory reasons. That's where the bus company comes in. And the railroads say the bus companies never had it so cod. The railroads are the ost regulated industry any where, they complain. One annual report' for railroads runs 130 pages. There are 40 others to be filed by the railroads daily, week ly, monthly, quarterly. The Agriculture Department, for instance, requires regular ac counts on how many carloads of corn, westbound, railroads ship passing through Needles, Calif. Doesn't Condemn Reports Railroads must advise at the end of the year how many cross ties they have laid. Monthly they report ' how their steam engines if any, are holding out against the advance of the diesel. Don't get the idea the subcom mittee thinks this is all bad. lt says most of the information from these reports and surveys is es sential not only to government but to business. The subcommittee said big bus iness can and does make its own surveys. None of these was spe cifically cited, but take the Ford Motor Co. for instance. I recall that it footed the bills for a sur vey a couple of years back, which showed that what we all wanted was Edsels. What the subcommittee did urge was restraint. And it said one way to approach this is to see, before putting out a new re port form, how much this will cost the people who must fill it out and return it. It didn't say how this can be learned. But I'm sure the govern ment knows. You just send out this form, see, and get the busi ness to fill it out and return it 0ISCUSS DE GAULLE TRIP tARIS UPI) U. S.
