Rutherford defeats in 16th District bid for Congress
In Washington correspondents note Rutherford's election loss may land him a Interior Department post. Speculation centers on a role in the Interior Department, due to close ties with Secretary Udall and service on the House Interior Committee. A Democratic vacancy on the Armed Services Committee opens, with Rep. Joe Kilgore a leading contender if a more senior Texas member seeks the post. Big Bend National Park receives booster attention from San Antonio sources as visitors praise Lost Mine Trail and scenic overlooks.
