Ellender's Remarks WASHINGTON (AP) An year-old congressman who feels people talk too much took his cue from the State Department Thursday and admonished Sen. Allen J.

Ellender, for remarks critical of Africa. Rep. Barratt O'Hara, gave reporters 20 minutes' notice and then, at a sparsely attended news conference, commented: "What the senator said has hurt us very much in Africa. The Africans are very sensitive. We want the Africans to know the senator was speaking for himself and not for the Congress "The senator was expressing a personal, regional feeling.

He was expressing the sentiment of his constituency. I suppose we all play a little politics now and then. If a man comes from Louisiana, where there is a race question, he may not be as careful of what he says as he would if he came from somewhere else. Assures Africans "It's unfortunate that members of Congress talk when they go to foreign countries." In response to a question, C'Hara chairman of the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Africa acknowledged two State Department representatives called on him Wednesday, urged him to counter publicly the statements attributed to Ellender, and even provided him with a typewritten statement they suggested he issue through the congressional press galleries. He did not use the statement, but said his remarks and those prepared by the State Department were similar.

Both were aimed, he said, at reassuring Africans of the friendly feelings of the United States. The State Department said, "no comment," when asked about 0'Hara's statement. Hopes to Visit Africa O'Hara said that as a result of the Ellender incident, he now hopes to visit Africa later this month with other Foreign Affairs Committee members. "People talk too much," he sighed. Ellender was reported to have said in Southern Rhodesia that he has yet to see any part of the continent that is ready for selfgovernment; that the average African i is incapable of leadership without white help, and that the policy of racial segregation in South Africa was too late, but on the right track.

Ellender denied making the statements. The South African Press Association then came forward with a tape recording it said confirmed Ellender said what news media said he said. Tanganyika, Uganda and Ethiopia announced Ellender would not be admitted, should he try to visit those nations. "I guess," O'Hara mused, "He didn't quite expect the widespread circulation he got."
