(Sentinel Photo) Solons Find Natives Are Restless By The Sentinel Washington Bureau Staff WASHINGTON The nation is in a restless mood, according to Congressmen who have just returned from their annual Spring pulse-taking tours back home.

A wide range of political issues concern the voters, but no single issue is dominant, and the intensity of feelings on specific issues varies according to the locality, they A i of Congressmen were interviewed who had criss-crossed their districts during the Easter Recess. They sounded a recurring theme 'about an uneasy electorate, Vaguely dissatisfied with things they are, but unready yet to embrace major change. Not Mutinous A good summation was offered by Rep. Charles E. Wiggins, after talking with voters in his suburban Los Angeles district.

"The troops are restless, but jiot mutinous," he said. "I found was no all- consuming issue that had people marching in the streets." The economy, school bussing, high taxes ar.d ecology are among the subjects on people's mind in his district, according to Wiggins. A similiar placid finding was reported by Rep. Charles Mosher, R-Ohio, after a tour of his largely blue collar district centering on the Northern Ohio industrial city of Lorain. "I frankly was surprised at the absence of any strong feelings in my district," said Mosher.

Mosher, a liberal Republican who has been a frequent critic of some Nixon Administration policies, said much "pro-Nixon comment was volunteered" by people in his district. "I got the impression that people like the certainness of Nixon in contrasrto the'ETiaos among all the Democratic presidential candidates." he said. Vietnam Worry Congressmen were touring home areas just as the new North Vietnamese offensive got underway in Vietnam. Mosher reported his constituents were 'nervous and expressed anxiety about whether this would cause a reversal of plans to pull out of Vietnam." A all of the interviewed reported similar feelings of unrest about the war among voters in the wake of the new offensive. One of the strongest local reactions to the war was reported by Rep.

James Abourezfc, a liberal South Dakota Democrat now campaigning for the U.S. Senate. "People's dominant reaction is that they're tired very tired of the war. They're looking for the President to fulfill his promise to end the war and they're looking for some of that money. They want to use it at home." Rep.

Ancher Nelsen. said everybody in his rural district is "prayerfully hoping that we can get out of Vietnam." He added that the new offensive is making people ask, "Will we really get out?" The major issue in Nelsen's largely agricultural district is farm prices an issue that cuts both ways depending on the type of area a congressman represents. Farmers in Nelsen's district contend they are still in a bad way, despite high food prices, which they blame on middlemen and the food chains. Inflation Rep. Dawson Mathis.

aid he found people concerned bout inflation. "They are very ware that prices are going up. specially in the grocery store," said. Mrs. George Andrews, elected i- fill the unexpired term of er late husband representing a Alabama istrict, said "people tell me ley go to the food market and nd they just can't afford to uy as much as they used to." Mathis, Mrs.

Andrews, and James A. Haley, nd other Southern lawmaker eported school bussing a majo sue in their localities where ourts have used this device tc nd vestages of the dual schoo 'stem. But Haley accurately summed 3 bussing as an issue said "It all depends 01 here you are." Congressmen from area: outside the South report some discussion of bussing but say it is no real issue there. The continuing Senate probe of the ITT antitrust case drew some scattered comment from their constituents, according to the Congressmen. Abourezk reported "The ITT affair has fueled sentiment that big corporations aren't being taxed enough, while ordinary citizens feel they are being asked for too much."
