For the Record

■ Sixteen new Republican senators will arrive in Washington Jan. 5: what’s their ideological breakdown? Democratic political analyst Alan Baron sees them as 1) New Right Activists: Denton (Ala.), East (N.C.), Nickles (Okla.), Symms (Idaho); 2) New Right Pragmatists: Abdnor (S.D.), Grassley (Iowa), Hawkins (Fla.); 3) Conservatives: Quayle (Ind.), Kasten (Wis.), Murkowski (Alaska), D’Amato (N.Y.), Mattingly (Ga.), Andrews (N.D.); 4) “Moderates”: Gorton (Wash.), Rudman (N.H.), Specter (Pa.). Of the 53 Republicans in the 98th Senate, Baron lists only one as 5) Liberal: Charles Mathias (Md.). . . Cause and effect? 28 of the senators who voted in favor of the Panama Canal treaties two years ago are now out of the Senate, retired voluntarily or at the ballot box.

■ What next? Jimmy Carter reports that he plans a “quiet” role in party affairs after he quits office. . . . Sen. Javits will become an adjunct professor at Columbia’s School of International Affairs, and retiring Sen. Adlai Stevenson III will return to his original law firm in Chicago. . . . John Anderson fatcat Stewart Mott is in hot water with Federal Election Commission over $100,000 he spent for radio/TV spots for Anderson. . . . California Gov. Jerry Brown is founding a new political magazine, Cornerstones, to help keep in touch with his political supporters around the country, with a weather eye to ’84. . . . And James Jackson Kilpatrick, in light-hearted column condoling with his liberal colleagues, also warns Republicans: “They have won a victory,” he says, “and lost their excuses.”
