For the Record

■ The 17 freshman senators elected last November and how they broke on the Warnke confirmation vote: Of the Republicans, only John Chafee of Rhode Island voted for Warnke; of the Democrats, only Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York and Edward Zorinsky of Nebraska voted against Warnke. The rest followed party lines. Republicans Danforth (Mo.), Hatch (Utah), Hayakawa (Calif.), Heinz (Pa.), Lugar (Ind.), Schmitt (N.M.), and Wallop (Wyo.) opposed confirmation; Democrats DeCon- cini (Ariz.), Matsunaga (Hawaii), Melcher (Mont.), Metzen- baum (Ohio), Riegle (Mich.), Sarbanes (Md.), and Sasser (Tenn.) were in favor. . . . One other Warnke footnote: although most old-line Southern Democrats voted for the Carter nominee, the two senators from Georgia, Sam Nunn and Herman Talmadge, did not. (There are persistent rumors, incidentally, that Carter will try to purge Nunn the next time around.)

■ More and more reports of growing tension between Carter White House and the Hill. . . . Columnist David Broder reports that Carter’s unilateral cancellation of 19 Western dam and reclamation projects brought him afoul not only of Russell Long, who heads the powerful Senate Finance Committee which will have to pass on a wide range of Carter economic programs, but also of Morris Udall (a campaign foe), who heads the House Interior Committee. . . . News stories out of the capital these days (see Evans & Novak, March 16) too often carry a variation of the phrase: “This reaction was a total surprise to the Administration.” . . . Washing ton Post, commenting editorially on the Brady Tyson flap, describes Tyson as “Andy Young’s Andy Young.” Padry, Le Herisson Rothco
