Press, Garahan said a tentative federal list of designated routes, issued last month, contained no referFree ence to non-interstate routes in Vermont. "We were the only state in the union that didn't have any," Garahan said. Burlington will He accept hopes the Vermont's Federal restrictions Highway when it Administration issues its final ruling.

If it does not, the state can pursue its The court challenge. Garahan does not expect the state to alter its stand on the issue much, although he said minor additions to the designated routes are possible. He recently proposed, for example, that twin- Lt. Gen. Starbird Dies in D.C.

Army Lt. Gen. Alfred Dodd Starbird, 71, formerly of Vermont, and an expert in energy application and weapons system, died of cancer July 28 in Walter Reed Hospital. He lived most recently in Alexandria, and STARBIRD had devoted 44 years to military and public service. His parents, Brig.

Gen. and Mrs. Alfred Starbird, moved to Burlington in 1930 and later lived in Jericho. Brig. Gen.

Starbird was commanding officer at I Fort Ethan Allen from 1925 to 1927. His wife, Ethel Dodd Starbird, had lived there early in the century when her father, Brig. Gen. George A. Dodd, commanded troop of the 3rd U.S.

Cavalry. Be Made Permanent trailer trucks be allowed to travel on U.S. 4 between Fair Haven and Rutland and from exit 3 on Interstate 91 into New Hampshire. He has not received an answer to that proposal from the federal government. Exceptions to Vermont's regulations can be made, although the administration has been cautious about such requests.

"We're trying to take into due consideration protection of other users of the highway," noted Russell Goslant, chief of internal field operations for the Motor Vehicles Department. Two permits for twin-trailer travel more than a half-mile from the interstate have been granted to allow truckers to move from Interstate 89 to an industrial park in Williston. A similar request was approved for travel off Interstate 89 in Bethel a short distance on Vermont 107. The state rejected a request to travel from Interstate 91 to Rutland, a distance of nearly 50 miles over mountains, according to Motor Vehicles Commissioner William Conway. Cate Named a Barre Manager BARRE Ward 3 Alderman Richard Cate was voted in as city manager by his five fellow City Council members Tuesday night following a half-hour -door interview.

Cate will replace Paul Hermann, who has been hired as town manager of Poultney. Hermann resigned after aldermen refused to hire him for another year. Cate advised the board of his interest in the job during an executive session last week. His main condition was that his salary be comparable to that of his current employer, Rock of Ages. Cate will assume the manager's job at a salary of $27,500, $4,000 more than Hermann's $23,500.

Hermann had planned to stay until December, but his new job requires him to leave by Aug. 26. Cate will assume the job Sept. 12. Reginald Abare, city engineer, will be interim manager from Aug.

30 until then. Mayor Robert Duncan is expected to set a date for a ward caucus next week to select a successor to Cate. From Page 18 collecting in the tunnel. Firefighters from Williston, New England Marine excavators and state and local police were called to investigate. Workers from the state Department of Water Resources stood by.

Spillane's called in Dubois Contractors of Burlington, which began digging around the station's underground tanks off to the side of the gas pumps. One firefighter described the exploration as "very touchy." About 5 p.m., police began making sure that all shoppers and cars had left the small shopping center across the street. Most people had left anyway because the stores were closing. Traffic had been detoured east of the station most of the afternoon, but the strong smell of gasoline prompted police to reroute traffic on the other roads. New England Marine workers used pumps to clear out all the gasoline in the hole at the Mobil station and two pipes were put at the bottom to collect any gasoline that might leak overnight.

Lunderville said the rest of the cleanup will be done by whomever Spillane's hires. The chief said he will decide whether to open the station after the state Water Resources people have checked the site. Vernon Man Dies In Mass. Accident Ronald Paquette, 23, of Vernon was killed in a weekend highway accident in Deerfield, and another Vernon resident was seriously injured. Massachusetts state police said Paquette apparently was speeding when he lost control of his car on Route 116 about 2 a.m.

Saturday. The car flipped over at least six times and Paquette and two passengers were thrown out, police said. Heidi Tuttle, 22, is listed in serious condition at a Massachusetts hospital. Dean Seeks Uncommitted Slate to Vermont for the primary. "It was at first," Dean said, "but no candidate would jeopardize the New Hampshire primary for 17 Vermont delegates." All the leading candidates have signed papers agreeing not to appear in the Vermont primary election so the New Hampshire primary's firstin-the-nation status would not be jeopardized.

Dean took an oblique swipe at former Lt. Gov. Madeleine Kunin, who said Monday a "no-name" never has been elected president. Dean said the party has a good chance of beating President Reagan "but we won't get there by bad-mouthing each other." Kunin heads Walter Mondale's Vermont committee. Dean said the following county chairmen have joined him: Robert Lanctot, Caledonia County; Peter Joseph, Essex; John Finn, Franklin; Ohmer Corbin, Grand Isle; Ron Eberhardt, co-chairman, Orange; Louis DeGennaro, Orleans; Beverly Mayo, Rutland.

Name of the Game Is Endorsements From Page 1B From Page 1B vocate Rep. John Murphy, D- Ludlow, and Donald Cootware, chairman of the Champlain Valley Labor Council, and Faire Edwards, an outspoken leader of the elderly, also has endorsed Glenn. "A lot of criticism about the organization has been that he (Glenn) started so late," Guidugli said. "As is indicated in Vermont and elsewhere in New England, he has the state steering committees organized." Hart, who visited Vermont last week and will return this weekend, has rounded up organizers in all but three state counties. "We're not looking so much for the big names as for the people who are going to do the work," Hart spokesman Eric Schwartz said Tuesday.

Sen. Scudder Parker, D-Caledonia, and former state Sen. Mark Kaplan of Burlington are directing the steering committee. They are joined by several members of the state committee, including Kenneth Dean of the executive committee, Carolyn Nissen of Chittenden and Thomas Plumb of Addison. "It's a situation where we'll take supporters from where we can," Schwartz said.

"Some have been involved in the freeze ment and others in one of last four presidential elections." Schwartz said the Washington office is allowing the state steering committee to direct the local campaign. "It's very much our intention to have the campaign run by the people in the state."
