Young Barry had certainly been right, as it turned out, to enter a special election for Congress. Last week he handily beat Democrat John K. Van de Kamp, 64,675 to 48,933, in a runoff in California's 27th District to replace Republican Ed Reinecke, who took over as the state's Lieutenant Governor when Robert Finch moved to Washington as Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. The sprawling 27th now stretches from suburban Los Angeles northward to rural Kern County. Young Barry ran far ahead of his father's 1964 showing in the district...

Wooded Seclusion. The classic red-roofed Spanish house was built 45 years ago by Henry Hamilton Cotton, millionaire real estate developer and prominent California Democrat. His widow, now 90, still lives there. Cotton brought Mexican artisans to lay the tile floors and build furniture and thick, wood-pegged doors. The house encloses a warm, sheltered patio with a fountain, outdoor fireplace, lawn and shrubbery. All five bedrooms open on the patio. Nixon likes seclusion and is especially fond of a semicircular library, reachable only from an outside stairway. Wide living room windows overlook the ocean...

...Distinction. The main debate in the Cabinet centered on the issue of who in the future should be regarded as a war criminal. Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger argued that "our job is to bring to justice the mass murderer, the beast in human form." Most of his Christian Democrat ministers favored excluding from the war crime category those Germans whose offenses were relatively small and who had only been following orders. But the Social Democrats held that it was impossible to make such a distinction and their view prevailed. In fact, the Cabinet agreed to remove the statute of limitations from...

...They can pass new laws regulating the sale or advertising of cigarettes. Bills calling for more controls have been put forward by 54 sponsors in the House. Most of the bills are similar to a measure sponsored by the leading opponent of cigarettes in the House, California Democrat John Moss. He would toughen the cigarette label and order it into all ads, as the FTC urges, and he would also empower the commission to limit the length of cigarettes. That would probably shorten the future of the new 100-mm. cigarettes, which generally have more tar and nicotine than...

...more than 30 departments and agencies and some 260 federal programs are now involved in consumer protection. Although President Nixon has said little on the subject so far, he has disappointed consumer advocates by not naming Republican Mary Gardiner Jones, the leading consumer champion on the FTC, to replace Democrat Paul Rand Dixon as chairman. Last week, however, Nixon chose a new consumer assistant, and the reaction was almost entirely favorable. He picked Mrs. Virginia Knauer, 54, director of Pennsylvania's Bureau of Consumer Protection. A Republican stalwart, Mrs. Knauer probably could do without...
