Show Wednesday, November 3, 1976 Pege9 S Back in 1953, the Rosenbergs were the couple that lived downstairs from Jackie Gleason in The Honeymooners, Joe McCarthy was the third base man for the Washington Senators, and children jumped rope to the nursery rhyme of : "Alger Hiss can not do this " so what's the use in trying." Meanwhile, there were a small group of people who were very concerned about a certain paint company that was covering the world with red paint: Seems that the president of the company had a direct phone line to Moscow. Could this be true? Perhaps America needs a quick history refresher course. Americans might discover spy trials that look like frame-ups, rampant, paranoia that produced a police state mentality, and .blacklists that ruined careers of some of America's . "finest writers and entertainers. The Front has a real story to tell, the story of the blacklist and how it affected people's lives, It is ironic that in 1976 a group of writers and actors who were the victims of the blacklist should finally be able to speak out. And nowhere will one find a government or broadcast official who will defend the policy that was standard operating procedure for over ten years. But then, he who laughs last ... Considering the number of people working on film who had been blacklisted, The Front is very free of bitterness. The Front is actually a comedy, but the funny lines all have hooks in them. The laughter dies down, but, the point remains. . Make nomistake, the communist hunters of the era are protrayed as humorless zealots who cast guilt by association and use patriotism and loyalty td intimidate the entertainment industry. Broadcast executives are portrayed as gutless dupes who are afraid to risk their jobs and reputation by resisting the abominable blacklist. The characters seem accurate, not acidic. (Maybe its only a mental association on my part, but one of the red hunters bears a strong resembalance to a young R.M. Nixon). , Woody Allen stars in The Front, but the film is not a Woody Allen comedy. Allen actually gives an excellent serious characterization as the man who acts as the middleman between a group of blacklisted writers and the T.V. executives. The part is in many ways Allenesque, but the.film reveals that Allen is capable of doing well in a more serious role. The Front is a graceful film about a graceless time in American history.

Still, The Front is an enjoyable film, and an important film as well.

J 'S Utah Foundation Americans Fear Overrogulation Overregulation of American business and industry has brought widesperad fears that American free enterprise is losing much of its freedom, and that the power of decision is being taken from business and placed in the hands of government bureaucrats, according to Utah Foundation. In a research report released this week, the Foundation, the private' non-profit public service agency, called attention to the proliferation of Federal regulatory agencies in recent years and to the lack of. accountability of those making and enforcing the new regulations. "Many observers in govern-' ment, in business, and among lay citizens feel that the most fightening aspect of the mass of government regulation is that it is drawn up - and enforced by 'appointees and employees of government agencies who are not directly responsible to the American people through any established channel," the Foundation report notes. "Many feel that the regulators regula-tors are not even indirectly responsible to the people. They appear to be immune to firm control by the people's , elected representatives in either the legislative or executive branches of government. Agencies of the executive branch of govern- ' ment are usurping the legislative function by ' ' writing rules and regulations that expand on or even differ from the laws enacted by Congress." . Concern over government regulation of American life is citizens, the Foundation . points out. Many people in the executive and legislative branches of government share concern. mrnmm 1 s "Lots of fun and a very relaxed atmosphere" is how Billie Koleman describes her Raggedy Ann Preschool for children from ages three through five.

" ' Senator Hubert Humphrey.; a noted liberal, has question-, ed whether bureaucrats', regulations implement the laws or rather 1 serve to impede or obstruct them. He , ' publicly called for periodic ,; reviews of "the .rules and regulations of each department" depart-ment" of government, and for "an economic impact study or evaluation of every rule and regulation and of ; every piece of legislation we., pass." Regulation of American business and industry dates back nearly 90 years. The Interstate Commerce Com-, mission was authorized in , 18B7. More than 40 years ; later, the Federal 'Power Commission was instituted, in 1930. Four . more regulatory giants were creat-" ed in the depression years,- between 1934 and 1938 : the ; Federal ' Communications Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal: Maritime Com-' mission, and the Civil Aeronautics Aero-nautics :', Board. These agencies regulate specific industries of national scope , and vital importance to the. economy 's Their twin ' objectives are to safeguard the public interest and to watch over the welfare of the ' regulated industries them' selves. ' , "'- ; Within the past decade. '0 diion pg, ' regulatory agencies "which do not fit into the classic; pattern established by the ICC, the Foundation points out. They are not concerned with the totality of any single industry, but only ; with the specific segment of operations which falls under their jurisdiction. In the words of a noted American economist'this limitation can result in a total lack of concern over the effects of their actions on the company or industry as a whole.. .matters .mat-ters such a productivity, economic growth, employment, employ-ment, effect on over-all living standards, inflationary impacts, may be ignored." Among the new generation of Federal regulatory agencies are the EPA, the Equal Empolyment Opportunity Commission, OSHA, the Consumer Product Safety Administration Administra-tion and others. Americans concerned with the dangers of over-regulation over-regulation generally do not quarrel with the objectives of the new regulatory agencies and are aware that many of the programs have produced substantial benefits, the Foundation notes; They do question the propriety of "placing avowed partisans in positions where clear headed objectivity is imperative for the j making , of sound decision, and where unsound decisions are a threat to our entire economy." Some specific objections brought against government regulators which the Foundation illustrates with recorded examples are that the regulatory agencies: Fail to balance benefits against cost. Issue regulations that conflict con-flict with one another. Deliberately misrepresent facts that challenge their own views. Impose an unreasonable burden on paperwork on American industry. Take arbitrary and unreasonable un-reasonable actions that may do irreparable harm to innocent parties.' Concentrate on trivia and technicalities .to the exclusion of common sense.
