Fate Uncertain Of Old Village's Marble Marker
OLD BENNINGTON The fate of the Old First Church marker, a large marble monument damaged by a car last summer, remains uncertain. Bennington Museum is the legal owner, but insurance coverage for off site property is disputed. The driver carried only $5,000 coverage, likely insufficient for repairs. Pieces were removed after snow cleared and closures damaged by passing cars. Judges and officials say the matter is still under discussion with a possible replacement someday.

NATO Ministers Expect Harder Line from Soviets
London based NATO foreign ministers foresee a tougher Soviet stance in its peaceful coexistence policy. They rule out major East West accords this year or next, warn Soviet leadership may not be on a collision course with the West, and cite a zig zag policy that could stiffen for a long period. The assessment stresses uncertain strength of the Kremlin leadership and no independent daring moves or major commitments with the West.
