LONDON, Sept. 30 f.-P) Rep.
Harris Ellsworth (R-Ore.) sug
gested tonight that congress
could use to advantage the Brit
ish parliamentary privilege of
making cabinet members ac
count for the government's ac
tion. "Impressed by his first visit to
the house of commons yester
day when he saw the English
system in operation, Ellsworth
said: ' k
" "The right to question key of
ficials on their conduct of gov
ernmental affairs is a valuable
instrument to assure the proper
functioning of an administra
tion. This is something I believe
the congress should look into
thoroughly with an eye to adapt
ing it in some form to our own
situation."
The congressman, a Roseburg
newspaper publisher, told in an
interview he would like to force
several high-ranking officials of
the Roosevelt administration on
to the house floor to explain the
conduct of their wartime agen
cies "to the satisfaction of the
American people and the con
gress." Particularly, Ellsworth said,
would he be interested in such
a showdown on the food setup,
which he described as "muddled
because seven different govern
ment agencies are involved in
some way and none have over
all authority."
The handling in the United
States, said the Roseburg news
paper publisher, was a striking
contrast to the efficient method
in England where the ministry
of food is the sole control agency.
Ellsworth expressed enthus
iasm about allied military oper
ations. Observation ,of .supply oper
ations in western France con
vinced him, he said, that " a ter
rific job is being well done." He
toured beachhead areas, lunched
with General Eisenhower and
saw military government func
tioning in France.
