INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Sen. Paul H. Douglas, D-111., has charged Col. J. A. Smedile, U.S. Army district engineer, with recommending Bums Ditch for Indi--1 ana’s proposed port without con--1 ducting studies of alternate sites. The charge was contained in a letter by Douglas to Defense Secretary Robert McNamara in which he asked that further engineer l participitaition be baited “in the was te fu 1 and incompletely ' studied” Burns Ditch port program. A copy of the letter was made public Sunday at a meeting here of the board of directors of the Indiana Conservation Council. It was submitted by Thomas E. Dustin, an official of the Save the Dunes Council which opposes the Burns Ditch port site. In his letter, Douglas said Col. Smedile had prepared the favorable feasibility report “despite a House Public Works authorization of $150,000 for a study of alternate sites and despite the fact that the cost-benefit ratio for Burns Ditch is only 1.5 to 1.” Douglas said that Smedile's report "has every appearance of being based on speculative assumptions and unsubstantiated commitments from alleged prospective shippers.” Douglas is author of one of two hills for a National Dunes Park on the shore ot Lake Michigan. His bill would take in the area now proposed for the park site. • Sen. Vance Hartke, D-Ind., has submitted the second bill which would call for a smaller park and exclude the Burns Ditch area; leaving room for the deep watet harbor.
