Deep Waler Port Is Needed By Indiana BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UPD— Indiana Republicans and Democrats are united in the belief that the state needs a deep water port on Lake Michigan, Rep. William G. Bray, R-Ind., said Saturday at a Great Issues forum at Indiana University. “The state of Indiana long ago saved the dunes without any help from the state of Illinois or the federal government," he said in a reference to Sen. Paul Douglas, j D-111., to the port. Douglas, claiming the port ’would destroy the dunes, has inI troduced legislation for a 9,000 (acre Indiana National Dunes Park i which would cover the proposed site of the port at Burns Ditch. Indiana’s congressional delegation is backing alternate legislation calling for a smaller park which would exclude the Burns Ditch area and permit the port. Discussing the philosophies of the two major political parties, Bray said Democrats believed "our lives should be planned for the strongest possible rights for I the strngest possible rights for the individual.”
