Meanwhile, civil defense ad
ministrator Val Peterson said
estimates indicated 75 million
dollars will be needed from the
presidents emergncy fund to
I help restore the staggeringly
damaged areas.
\ His tentative estimates call
■ ed for 25 million each for Con
necticut and Pennsylvania,
i the two hardest hit states, 15
i million for Massachusetts and
five million each for Rhode
j Island and New Jersey.
I President Eisenhower, in
turning the nation’s resources*
; to work in the Herculean task
; of rehabilitation, said steps
will be taken not onlv to ease
.! the hardslhin — but to prevent
i future similar catastrophes,
j “We’re going into business
‘ of seeing whether we Can pre
vent these floods in the future
on a long-range basis,” he said.
Arriving in Hartford, Conn.,
I af+er a flight of inspection ov
j er ravaged' areas of Pennsyl
| vania. New Jersey, New York
j and Connecticut, he went into
an immediate conference with
state governors.
From his plane, he had view
ed a long, curving swath of ap
palling destruction, that left
many towns a sodden jumble
Of wreckage, and rimed deep
gullies across farm lands.
“A terrible thing,” he re
marked as he gazed at the
scene of distress.
Flying over Ansonia and
Darby, Conn., areas, he said
“See how muddy it is and wet.
See the water standing in the
town.”
The thml is, he said,
“is that we get enough relief)
money in here.” i
That was part of his aim in
meeting with governors of the
stricken states. Already, the I
federal government — through!
several agencies — was mov- j
ing swiftly to aid the flood
battered region.
At least 180 persons lost
‘ their lives in the disaster.
The devastation also stretch
' ed across Rhode Island and
j Massachusetts, ■ but murky
| skies made it useless for Eis
■ erihower to attempt an aerial
! inspection over those states.
Persons killed by the flood
; or in accidents connected with
! it, including electrocution by
fallen wires, were counted byi
states as follows: Pennsylvan
ia, 93; Connecticut, 60; Mass
achusetts, 13; Rhode Island 1;
New Jersey, 6; New York, 4;
and Virginia 3. In addition,
73 persons are missing in Con
nectiout.
Virginia suffered less des
truction than the other six
states and was the only one not
designated a disaster area eli
gible for federal relief aid.
There was still no firm ov
er-all estimate of the damage
costs, but here and there eom
I munities came through with
] rough guesses.
\ Connecticut appeared to
j have suffered the most. As he
I went from one stricken com
\ murnity to another, Gov. Abra
* ham A. Rilbicoff stuck to his
«arly estimate that the total
j damage in that state alone
i would be “well over a billior
| dollars.”
} Industries and normal busi
ness life were paralyzed, throw
ing thousands out of work. A:

main idle, workers normal!}

estimates found 30.000 people
were left jobless -by the floods
which sprang from rain drop
ped by the exhausted hurri
cane Diane.
Ribicoff stated, “It will be
at least two months before we
have even the vaguest idea oi
when industry can get back on
its feet.”
The industrial city of Woon
socket, R. I. figured 6,000 of
its 50.000 citizens were left
temporarily jobless by the
flood.
In Worcester, Mass, where
damage to a big steel wire
mill and other plants made
10,000 workers idle, a factory
official commented.
“We’ll be lucky if we get
back into production in a
month.”
Putnam. Conn., where mag
nesium pliant explosions com
bined with torrential floods to
leave one of the most drama

under mlartial law.
An official oif the town of

10 years to bring it back to
normal.
