Kep. unman emphasized a need tor Bringing in younger people in responsible positions in our country. He feels in talk ing to hundreds of young peo ple that there is a general re sentment sweeping our nation. He said these young folks are very knowledgeable. He said this is a difficult per iod and one of great crisis and we will need basic changes in our thinking. At the same time, he added, we must hang onto the basic good things. Easy ans wers, he stated, were wrong. . Nevertheless, , 'the' Congress man said he is not discouraged and-feels the country will come out of it."' He piled on praises to those who had gone back to Wash ington to push for the Willow Creek development. He Says we are in line to get into the budg et right now. But he explained there are difficulties in getting funds for new starts. He says the President is blam ing Inflation on overspending by Congress but explained that very few economists believe this. He led the fight in com mittee against the guaranteed welfare program that would cost 5 billion the first five years and probably 10 billion the second five year period. The Vietnam War cost has ex cceded that of World War II. He says wage, price and credit con trols must be tightened with strict guidelines and priorities. Human nature being what it is, he added, we need rules to play by. He reels it Is up to the ad ministration to give us these guidelines.
