Governor George C. Wallace urged destroying federal red tape at a National Federation of Independent Business gathering. He proposed symbolically standing on a Potomac bridge and dumping bureaucratic forms and briefcases into the river. He said he plans to be involved in 1976 politics and will announce a presidential bid later.
