Opposition Looms To Dunes Measure

WASHINGTON (UPD—Opposition loomed in the House today to a proposed compromise for creating an 11,700-acre Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Rep. J. Edward Roush, DInd., said that later this week he will introduce a dunes lakeshore bill in the House, but almost certainly it will differ from the Senate version. 1., ■ ■ About 20 senators, including long-time foes, joined Monday in introducing the administrationproposed bill to authorize thef national lakeshore. ■ Chairman Henry M. Jackson, K D-Wash., of the Senate Interior ■ Committee, which will hear theW bill, served as chief sponsor.! Co-sponsors included Sens! Vance Hartke, D-Ind., and Birch 1 E. Bayh Jr., D-Ind., and Paul H. Douglas, D-111. The proposed park would stretch in broken units from the outskirts of Gary, Ind., east al-! most to Michigan City, Ind., and from the Lake Michigan shore south, with its southeast tip abutting the Northern Indiana Toll Road. The most highly developed areas of Ogden Dunes, Dune Acres, and Beverly Shores would be excluded, as well as the Burns Ditch site of the proposed deep water port, and property owned by two steel companies, Bethlehem and Midwest, and by Northern Indiana Public Service Co. It would include the 2,181-acre Indiana Dunes State Park if the state wished to donate the property. About miles of intermit- 1 tent bathing beach shoreline! would be included in the park, 1 as well as campground trails, W nature preserves, and picnic! sites in a half-dozen or more in-P land segments. r “I agree to the need for park, 4 and that it should be established | soon, but not a hodge-podge,” j Roush said. “I think each unit! should be contiguous to another! unit, and I wouldn’t be satisfied ] if it interferes with industrial

Today, nearly everyone pays income tax. In 1913, the top tax was 6 per cent on individuals (91 per cent today) and 1 per cent on corporations (52 per cent today). That year federal income from all taxes was $344 million, with the income tax representing a mere $35 million of that. Newschart shows that things have changed somewhat. In 1962, federal tax collections were $99.4 billion, with income tax accounting for $77.5 billion.

expansion in “the area.” He said he had strong reservations to a proposed unit below the New York Central Railroad tracks and the Midwest and Inland Steel properties. "This intrudes into the future harbor area,” he complained. Roush said his reservations also extended to inclusion of 600-700 acres of Inland Steel property near the Gary boundary. “It is isolated, separated by about 4 1 '2 miles <by the Burns Ditch complex) from the main park area.” he said. House Minority Leader Charles A. Halleck of Indiana, who joined with Roush in sponsoring legislation to authorize the Burns Ditch port, was out ot town and not available for comment on the park legislation. It was considered doubtful, however, that he would introduce a park bill since it was reported> he already has received petitions from communities fearful that they might be required to give up tax-produc-ing land for the national lakeshore. Douglas has long been a champion in an effort to save the Indiana Dunes and frequently came to loggerheads with other congressmen who wanted to see industrial expansion in the area. Jackson cited “long and careful efforts to provide the best possible compromise,” in his statement accompanying the bill. He said the legislation was being submitted by the secretary of interior in an attempt to preserve “this great natural area." The park was part of a major development approved by the Budget Bureau for northern Indiana. A conditional recommendation of a deep water industrial harbor and a park apparently soothed over the long controversial question. ' The site in Porter and La-

Berne School Choir Sings Friday Night v —rj I m vtl > - / 1 ‘ ■ B | // ■v' % .X BlWiI Mrs. Haven Smith Berne's high school choir, under the direction of Dr. Freeman Burkhalter, will sing at the Annual Adams county Farm Bureau meeting Friday, Oct. 25, which the public has been invited to attend The meeting will be held in the Adams Central gymnasium, and begins promptly at 7:30 p. m. The choir, singing most of their numbers a cappella, is the choir that sang for the Rotary International at St. Louis last June, with the exception of those who graduated this spring. Another feature of the meeting will be the speaker, Mrs. Haven Smith, an internationally-known speaker. Mrs. Smith, presently '"a director in the American Farm Bureau Federation and chairman of the American Farm Bureau women’s Porte Counties would also include the ' 2.181-acre Indiana Dunes State Park, if the state volunteers the property, staff aides-to Douglas said. They said the state would probably also be asked to volunteer 600,700 acres owned by the Inland Steel Co., adjacent to and east of Gary, Ind. Inland as said virtually all of the property owned by its competitor, Bethlehem Steel, in the area has been exempted from inclusion in the proposed park. Inland asked former PostGeneral J. Edward Day w> petition for exclusion of its oeach area, but the Interior Department and the members of Congress were deaf to the plea. The steel company property is closest to Chicago and would provide a mass bathing beach, it was said. The department would spend up to $23 million for the Dunes land if the bill is authorized, but sonsors said a considerable part of the proposed lake shore' area included privately owned cottages which presumably could not be bought by the government. The private owners would be allowed to retain property as long as they fulfilled zoning regulations tb be prescribed by the Secretary of- the Interior, according to the bill.
