(UPI Telephoto) Costly Sea Of Red Tape Drowning U.S. Business WASHINGTON (UPi) American businesses spend up to $32 billion a year meeting federal paperwork requirements and are "drowning in a sea of red tape," the Commission on Federal Paperwork said today.

The commission said it costs the 10,000 largest firms more than $1 million a year each to comply with federal paperwork requirements, and 5 million small business spend over $3,000 each. Federal red tape must be significantly reduced, both to cut costs and to bring better- managed programs, it said, adding: "Businesses rightly complain that more information than necessary is collected. As a result they are drowning in a sea of paperwork and red tape." The commission described its figure of S32 billion as a "broad estimate," but that nevertheless "it is surely a high price" for businesses to pay to meet government requirements, and "the consumer and the taxpayer foot the bill." The commission asked businesses for their assessment of the situation and found "there was no blanket indictment of all paperwork." Firms large and small recog- nize the need for government information-collecting programs, but "it was the excess of paperwork, the countless forms, the duplication of effort, the redundancy of questions and the seemingly never-ending flow of requests that they found burdensome." The commission said small businesses which complete forms by hand especially the "Mom and Pop" operations reacted with "annoyance, anxiety, even anger" to the morass of paperwork. The paperwork commission is nearing the end of its three- year battle to simplify government record-keeping in hopes of cutting costs and improving efficiency. Its staff report said smaller businesses, although spending much less to meet federal regulations, often lack the expertise necessary to comply and some avoid doing business with the government because the paperwork is too costly.

WASHINGTON (UPI) Ten hours of negotiations on clean air amendments left Sen. Edmund S. Muskie, D-Maine, looking tired and disappointed. Muskie wanted to clear away all other issues on the air pollution bill Thursday night so House and Senate conferees could settle down to consider the tougher issue of auto exhaust emissions. Muskie, in his shirtsleeves and smoking a cigar, listened as House members refused to accept agreements their staffs had reached with Senate coun- terpots.

A motion to go home for the night followed and was quickly approved. At the start of the week President Carter warned that unless Congress sends him a compromise bill by the scheduled Congressional vacation Aug. the auto industry might be shut down. On Thursday night Muskie would only say "there's a fighting chance" that agreement can be reached this week. The bill would then have to be accepted by the entire House and Senate.

Slow work on minor issues in- Rape Remarks Forcing Judge's Recall Election MADISON, Wis. (UPI) Feminists angered over a judge's suggestion that rape is a "normal" reaction in a permissive society have succeeded in making him the first Wisconsin official ever forced to run in a special recall election. The Dane County clerk's office said Thursday that 35,319 of the 36,343 signatures filed Monday in demanding the recall of County Judge Archie E. Simonson were declared valid. A total of 21,049 signatures were required.

The recall election was set for Sept. 7, with Aug. 10 the deadline for circulating nomination papers. Simonson now is serving a six-year term to which he was elected in 1972. Simonson's name will be on the ballot unless he resigns in 10 days.

He has refused to do so since he made the rape remark, despite demands from the city Council, county board and school board. In sentencing one of three boys in May for gang-raping a 16-year-old girl, in a high school stairwell, Simonson commented, "This community is well-known to be sexually permissive." He cited the trend to provocative women's clothing and the growing number of massage parlors and topless bars. "Should we punish severely a 15 or 16-year-old who reacts to it COLOR ir dtagoml, Color TVwWi pfctun QT.10Z* NUMM ehtttfc, ind AFC. MOHN'S TV On MM SfMft JMtstmvn M5-2421 I til 'tt '(I fat.

He then sentenced the boy to one year of court supervision at home. Feminists were furious. Within a few days recall petitions were being circulated throughout the city and the communities surrounding the state capital. Simonson said his remarks were misinterpreted, and offered an explanation. "I'm trying to say to women, 'Stop teasing'," he said at one point.

"Whether women like it or not, they are sex objects."

Sebmum South Eighth and Poplar Streets volving stationary air pollution sources, along with a major conflict on standards to protect pristine areas of the country from dirty air, snagged the talks. Just before the recess, Mus- kie told the conferees the Senate has "strong feelings" against a House provision that would allow federal pollution levels to be exceeded up to 18 days a year. "It will not be easy to reach agreement on it," Muskie said. Through much of the day the conferees considered and generally agreed on staff recommendations for less controversial issues involving stationary sources of air pollution.

The House and Senate have agreed in separate bills that the 1978 auto exhaust standards set forth in current law are too stiff and that weaker Pot Possession Still Punishable ALBANY, N.Y. (UPI)-Decriminalization of marijuana possession took effect in New York State today, but it's far from a license to sell the drug on the street corner. Under the bill, signed one month ago by Gov. Hugh Carey, possession of small amounts of pot will make the owner subject to a violation, similar to a traffic ticket. But heavy fines and even prison stretches can be imposed for subsequent convictions or for possession or large amounts.

The law, approved during the recently concluded legilative session, makes it a violation to possess up to 25 seven-eighths of an ounce of marijuana, barely enough to make 30 "joints." For a second conviction the maximum fine can be $200, and for the third the maximum penalty is a fine of $250 and-or 15 days in jail. The new law also makes any "public use or display" of marijuana, regardless of the amount, punishable by up to three months in jail or a $500 fine. The same penalty applies to possession of more than 25 grams but less than two ounces, and the gift or sale of up to two cigarette's worth. In 1973 a new state drug law took effect, at the time one of the toughest in the nation. It was promoted by then-Gov.

Nelson A. Rockefeller, who sought life imprisonment for major drug sales. Much of that law remains in effect for possession or sale of larger amounts of marijuana. Under the new law, the penalties for varying amounts of marijuana increase with the To Remove Phenformin HARRISBURG (UPI) Health Secretary Leonard Bachman announced Thursday that the drug phenformin will be removed from the state's generic drug list. Bachman's action came after U.S.

Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Joseph Calif ano ordered the drug taken off the market. Phenformin is taken by adults suffering from diabetes, but it is purported to be the cause of lactic acidosis, an often fatal metabolic disorder in diabetics, according to Bachman. The drug will remain available for individuals working in occupations where going into insulin shock would be an overriding health problem, and for individuals unable to administer insulin injections to themselves. amount found by arresting officers: Possession of more than two ounces but less than eight ounces, or the sale of up to 25 grams is subject to a penalty of up to one year in jail or a fine of $1,000. Possession of more than eight ounces but less than 16 ounces, or the sale of more than 25 grams but less than four ounces is punihsable by up to four years in prison.

Possession of more than 16 ounces but less than 10 pounds; or the sale of more than four ounces but less than 16 ounces; or the sale of any amount to a minor is punishable by up to seven years in prison. Possession of more than 10 pounds or the sale of more than 16 ounces is punishable by up to IS years in prison. 1977 standards should be maintained through next year. Three forms of auto exhaust are at issue in the standards hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide. While the Senate and House bills agree that standards on all three must be eased, the Senate bill is tougher than the House bill on both the level and timetable for carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide.

Since none of the changes has won final congressional approval, auto makers are hesitant to meet early August production schedules. General Motors said Wednesday it has plans to close all U.S.'operations by mid- September unless Congress eases the 1978 rules. Other U.S. auto companies have given similar warnings.
