Bill Collector Regulation Far From Reality HARR1SBURG (UPI) It the General Assembly believes there should be a law against unscrupulous bill collec: tors who use threatening tactics to force the payment of debts. The state Senate and House have passed bills to do it. But there is little chance they will soon be law. "I'm shocked by this whole thing," Joel Weisberg, director of the Pennsylvania Bureau of Protection, said Thursday. "1 can't believe that after years of playing around, they are still fooling around with these bills.

It's simple legislation, nothing complex." Both the House bill (H. B. 167) and the Senate bill (S.B 377) "would give the state more -power to crack do'jvn on strong- a collectors than it currently 1 But the Senate refuses to deal with the House measure, which is stronger than the Senate's version, and the House has not acted on the Senate's bill, which would cover only collection agencies and not businesses. The bills are designed to end latc night telephone calls and other forms of harassment i unscrupulous bill collectors 'i sometimesuse. The House version would forbid "use of profane or language or language (intended) to abuse the hearer reader," including abusive calls.

The Senate version forbids "in such a manner so as to harass or intimidate said alleged debtor," would not specifically i.include profane telephone calls.

Friatey.JwMM. Governments Applaud Law Exclusions WASHINGTON I -Stale and local government representatives are praising the Supreme Court for removing their employes from federal wage-hour coverage, but organized labor calls the ruling a regressive action with grave implications.

It was the first time in 40 years that the court has struck down major economic legislation passed by Congress on grounds it interfered with state and local powers. It declared unconstitutional the 1974 amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act providing minimum wage and overtime protection to 3.4 million persons on state and local government payrolls. The National League of Cities and the National Governors Conference, two of the groups that successfully challenged the federal law, joined the National Association of Counties in saying the Thursday ruling will be good for the American form of government. The justices also reversed a 1968 decision approving earlier federal minimum wage laws applied to 2.9 million teachers, public hospital and transit employes. Justice William H.

Rehnquist said the laws intruded on the authority of local and state governments to engage in labor-mana gement rel at ions. Dissenter William J. Brennan Jr. accused the court of reviving discredited constitutional theories from the 1930s, which struck down New Deal economic legislation aimed at ending the Great Depression. A spokesman for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employes said the ruling has "grave implications" for other basic protections afforded the nation's public employes including unemployment compensation, safety standards and a federal collective bargaining law.
