Ellsworth (R-Ore.) said to day he is convinced people of the nation are "deeply concern ed" with the nation's financial condition, want to see the bud get balanced and the national debt reduced. He said his mail and people he talked with expressed that wish. "The people do not want any more deficit financing for the purpose of paying subsidies." Ellsworth said in a statement "They want appropriations madt for things actually needed, but they do not want fancy trim mings, such as propaganda de partments in the domestic agen cies or overstaffed bureaus." The representatives said con - gress was "hammering away for reduced spending" but was not receiving much help from the administration and the execu tive departments. "In fact," he continued, "most appropriation requests submit ted this year have been for in creases. The departments have 'their own very effective way of ibuilding up pressure on congress ito favor their appropriations." Ellsworth urged that in adopt ing any legislation for improve iment of the rules of congress itnat an ample technical staff be 'furnished the house appropri ations committee.

Tulelake people told how bad road conditions hampered agri cultural activity, school bus and mail route operations, petroleum distribution, and fire protection. Agricultural Growth They told of the tremendous growth of agricultural activity in the area, with 500 California pick-ups and farm trucks over 300 pounds, 500 Oregon trucks, 150 other trucks, and 1150 pass enger cars rumbling over the rough roads in that basin. For example, they reported, a 68-mile mail route one of the longest in California includes about 35 miles of road that is impassable in winter. School buses that have routes covering 135 miles a day often are un able to cover the entire routes.

Don Fisher and George Yost Mayor Fausett told of the costs of extending sewer and water systems in the new town of Tulelake, and the problems involved in financing further street work. Then Tulelakers presented a map indicating priorities they believe justified in developing various roads in the district, as well as streets in town. - Accompanying the California legislators were representatives of the California highway de partment, state chamber of commerce, and state automo bile club. The group spent the night in Tulelake, and went to Alturas for lunch today. Elks' Bus Overturns Near Baker, Ore.
