Senator Byrd Charges
0PA Red Tape Mounts
To 100000 Words
Committee Hopes TO Cut
Flood Of Questionnoires
As Drain on Business
b the Associated Press.

1y the Associated Press
Attaches of the Joint Committee
on Reduction of Federal Expendi-
lures said today that OPA rules, reg
uations and interpretations total
100000 words.
That, said Chairman Byrd, is fair
" indicative of the kind of red tape
the committee has run into as
corollary to its investigation into
what the group described in formal
report earlier in the week as the
"quiz-mania" of Government de-
partments.
Meanwhile, the War Production
Board said that by canceling a single
form it would reduce the paper
work Of American industry by l2.-
100000 pieces of paper in the six
months starting April |. The elm
mated form was known as "CMP-6."
Manufacturers had to fill it out and
hle 1t with every purchase order for
alloy steel, aluminium or copper.
Gets Information Direct.
1t was intended to keep WPB
posted on the loads being placed on
individual mills, SO that the burden
Of orders could be spread around.
Instead, WPB has found that it can
get the same information more SIM
ply from the mills themselves.
Senator Byrd told reporters that
despite Budget Director Smith and
others who were cooperating with
the committee. it was becoming in
creasingly evident that little is being
done to cut off this flood of ques-
.tionnaires and reports which is
causing such drain on business and
Government manpower"
AS an example, Senator Byrd al
1uded to the testimony of one manu-
facturer who told the committee
that his company had been asked to
furnish report on vitamins which.
when completed, was feet wide and
40 feet long. The manufacturer said
three agencies asked for the same
information.
Multiple Forms Issued.
"The investigation of these re-
ports that are daily and hourly being
required of the American people"
he said, shows that many of them
are so fantastic in their demands
