Court rules against administration WASHINGTON (AP) The Reagan administration improperly eased air pollution restrictions for impor- tant segments of American industry, a federal appeals I court has ruled. The three-judge panel on Tuesday overturned an administration decision that permitted widespread use of the "bubble concept" of controlling pollution from factories in about 600 counties nationwide, including some major urban areas. The concept' allows a company to meet standards for a plant as a whole as opposed to meetirg standards for each source of pollution within the plant, such as a smokestack. Thus, a pollution reduction in one part of the plant can offset an increase in, another part.

NEW YORK (AP) If you're promoting a pill guaranteed to drop your IQ by 10 points, what better pitchman than Henny Youngman, who has a penchant for dumb jokes? Youngman is appearing at the New York Gift Show to promote Lo-Q, The Dumb Pill, which sells for $5 a bottle.

The jokes he was telling Tuesday fit right in: "Two dumb guys showed up at Halloween with burnt face. They'd been bobbing for french fries." Then there was the dumb pantomime team. 'They talked." Richard Basini smiled, at least. He should. He is the inventor of dumb pills, and is convinced they'll sell.

The pills are cherry-flavored jellybeans that come in the kind of bottle seen in a drug store. There's a book of instructions and a warning: "Keep out of reach of bosses, in-laws, insurance salesmen, roller disco freaks and people who reside in the state of New Jersey. Dispense with extreme caution in Southern California." PHILADELPHIA (AP) Mikhail Baryshnikov, who has been hobbled by a knee injury, made his first I Alexander Haig Henny Youngman U.S. appearance in seven months, dancing the pas de deux from "Don Quixote."
