The rampaging fivers dumped piles of ice on streets of riverbank communities. Vermont Gov. Philip H. Hoff declared the White River Junction section a disaster area. A 250-foot bridge spanning the White River collapsed with a roar as four-foot thick blocks of ice pounded at the underpinnings,... A 50-fopt bridge over the LaMoille River toppled. The flooding was mostly in central and northern Vermont and western New Hampshire. No deaths were reported. One of the hardest hit communities was the village of Hardwick, about 80 miles north of White River Junction.

Dunes National Park Backers Are Hopeful WASHINGTON (UPD—Backers of the proposed Indiana Dunes National Park went before the Senate parks subcommittee today in what one described as a last stand. “If we miss this time, we’re dead,” he said. But most proponents of the 11,732-acre park, long sought to preserve the historic sand dunes at the southern tip of Lake Michigan, believed chance s were better this year than ever before. The compromise bill under consideration provides the way to permit both the park and a deepwater port x for Indiana. Supporters also took encouragement from the fact that the measure is signed by 26 senators, headed by Interior Committee Chairman Henry M. Jackson, D-Wash., the largest number of co-sponsors ever for a conservation project. Thomas E. Dustin, Fort Wayne, Ind., of the save-The-Dunes Council, cited three “very hopeful signs.” —Local support in the area immediately affected has increased sharply. The communities of Ogden Dunes and Dune Acres, both flatly opposed to the park two years ago, now support it, and petitions for inclusion in the park have been submitted by most residents of Tremont and Edgewater, he :—said. —— —The state administration, which two years ago sent a delegation headed by Gov. Matthew Welsh to oppose the park, now is silent. —lndiana legislators are speaking out for the park, submtting letters of support from Sen. William C. Christy, chairman of the Democratic caucus, Sen. Walter A. Baran, and Rep. Paul Hric. . Dustin conceded that, problems remain to be solved, most irqportantly away to replace revenue from property taken off the tax rolls. But he was confident this would be done. “We’re getting constructive suggestions,” he said. “Now we’re down to' the details.” House Republican leader Charles A. Halleck, Ind., led off the opposition Thursday with the protest that the park would undermine hopes for expansion of the port, which he said will be authorized by Congress at the next opporunity.
