Prouty Dies Darkens Vermont Politics in Wake of Loss
Vermont’s junior senator Winston L. Prouty 65 died in Boston after complications from an ulcer operation. A Nixon ally noted for social welfare work, he helped shape state and national policy and was re-elected last fall. The death triggers a possible Senate vacancy and a scramble to fill it, with Rep. Robert Stafford as the pivotal figure amid a tense partisan balance.
