Inland Steel Head, Halleck Oppose Plan INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— The voice of Joseph L. Block, chairman of the board of Inland Steel Co., today joined that of House Republican leader Charles A. Halleck in opposition to a "compromise” proposal to establish an 11,292-acre Indiana Dunes National Park on Lake Michigan with $23 million in federal funds. Block charged Tuesday in telegrams sent to the Senate Interior Committee and U, S. senators form Indiana and Illinois that nearly all of Inland’s property would be condemned for the park as outlined in bills now in the Senate and House. Block said the bill exempts property of the other two steel companies “in excess of their current needs.” The land exempted lies between the Inland property and the proposed park boundary, Block said.

Block obviously referred to Bethlehem Steel and National Steel, which have properties on which they are building new mills to take advantage of a proposed deepwater harbor at Burns Ditch. Owned for 40 Years Block said most of the Inland property will be taken, even though it is more than four miles from the main part of the park and has been owned by the company for more than 40 years. Without the Inland property, the park would have almost 10 miles of shore line, Block said. “Property of another steel company, well in excess of its current needs, is now exempted entirely,” Block said. “Property of a third steel company, acquired in recent years and many times current needs, is now exempted entirely except for two small, separate tracts.” Until Block spoke up, Halleck’s House floor challenge of the proposal was the first and only opposition heard to the bill which came out of a Senate subcommittee with approval last week and an identical measure introduced in the House Tuesday by Rep. J. Edward Roush, D-Ind. Halleck Will Fight Most leaders in a movement to establish a port and those in a rival group favoring preservation of the dunes for nature and conservation purposes had agreed the two congressional bills were a satisfactory compromise of the issue. Halleck served notice he would fight the bills because the proposal they contain is not really a “compromise,” it would mean “defeat of the industrial development of the area I represent,” and his constituents are “solid against it.” Halleck’s attitude was promptly assailed by Thomas E. Dustin, public relations counsel for the Save the Dunes Council, Inc., who issued an “emphatic denial” that conservationists are trying to block the port “Everyone in Indiana seems to be on the same team but Halleck," Dustin said, adding that “if the port is constructed the people will owe it to the patient work of Senators Hartke and Bayh, Governor Welsh and Congressman Roush, who recognize Indiana's great need both to preserve the dunes and to'provide a port and industrial facilities.”

Douglas L’ Elliman, managing agent of the building, said the apartment, in addition to the purchase price, carried about a $14,000 annual maintenance cost. Cites Advantage Os No Billboards

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The 1965 legislature seems certain to have a "billboard controversy” with state-federal implications. The “advantage” of enacting enabling legislation at state level to assure that no billboards are located within 600 feet of the right-of-way along interstate highways was pointed out Tuesday by Federal Highway Administrator Rex Whitton. Indiana now gets 90 per cent reimbursement from the federal government on interstate road costs. But Whitton said if the state were to meet the requirement, Indiana could qualify for an extra half-a per cent in federal funds—or 90.5 per cent reimbursement. This would require a “billo board control” plan under which landowners within the 600-foot zone could be paid for a contract not to erect billboards. Whitton recalled a recent check to Kentucky, which has such an arrangement, in which the state got an extra $69,000 for a no-billboard agreement along a 10-mile stretch of interstate road. It you have something to sen or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they met BIG results.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Frank McHale On Comeback In Politics By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — At the ripe age of 73, Frank M. McHale seems to be staging a political comeback. McHale once was the most powerful Indiana Democratic leader. He was “the man to see” during the administration of Gov. Paul V. McNutt, which began in 1933, and may fill a similar role if Roger D. Branigin is elected governor. McHale was a pioneer Branigin man when he ran unsuccessfully for the gubernatorial tital in 1956 and was a moving spirit in the Branigin triumph at the Democratic state convention this year. — A Logansport native, McHale is a former state commander of the American Legion, a prosperous Indianapolis attorney and board chairman of the Nickel Plate Railroad. McHale was the chief organizer of the liquor setup in Hoosierdom after prohibition went by the boards. He practiced law with vigor before many boards and commissions during the regimes of McNutt and Gov. M. Clifford Townsend. Ex-National Committeman In 1937, McHale was elected Indiana Democratic national committeeman and served until 1952 when he was dethroned by Paul M. Butler, who subsequently became national chairman of the party. His political fortunes likewise had wained during the administrations of Gov. Henry F. Schricker and of three Republican governors. Some observers believe that McHale again may be chosen national committeman, although Welsh holds that post now following the recent ouster of Alex Campbell of Fort Wayne.

How long Welsh intends to retain the committeeman post is uncertain. His term as governor expires in January and his political future is in the lap of the gods after that time. However, Ralph F. Gates served as Indiana GOP national committeeman for many years after his term as governor expired. McHale was a star football player at the University of Michigan. He is a member of the Catholic order of Knights of St. Gregory and once battled physically with members of the Ku Klux Klan on the streets of Logansport. Makes Notable Speech Democrats for several days have ben quoting from a witty and dynamic speech McHale delivered at an Indianapolis party rally last week. McHale maintained that Sen. Barry M. Goldwater has “created an unholy alliance of what used to be the GOP and the Birchites and the Ku Klux Klan” in a futile effort to prevent the election of PresidentJohnson. —... ■ -—- —-——— Concerning the nomination of Rep. William Miller, a New York Catholic and graduate of the University of Notre Darrie, for vice-president, McHale said, “The Goldwater forces tried to cover up the takeover by the extremists by throwing on the .fire of hate a New York Catholic as a sacrificial lamb.” “It was the first time I ever heard the "Notre Dame Victory March used as the bridal song at a shotgun wedding,” McHale said. We may hear the voice of McHale again during the coming hectic- campaign. Astronauts May Get Outside Os Capsule HOUSTON (UPD—Two astronauts scheduled to make America’s longest voyage in orbit around earth next year may become the first to get outside their fast-moving capsule in space, officials disclosed today. The ambitious experiment is one of 10 or 11 that spacemen James A. McDivitt and Edward H. White II will conduct on their four-day journey next spring. At a press conference today, Kenneth Kleinknect of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said that, at one point during the voyage, the astronauts may depressurize their twoseater Gemini space capsule, open its hatch doors and stand up to take a first-hand look at what is outside. ‘ On the previous 12 American and Russian manned space flights, toe hatches remained closed at all times. However, such “extra-vehicular activity” is important to future space projects which will involve linking up two or njore objects to build stations in orbit.

Asks Assembly Take Action To Aid Toll Road INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— Governor Welsh said today he will ask the 1965 Legislature to help the Northern Indiana Toll Road stay afloat financially by removing maximum truck weight limi's on certain actress roods. Welsh and the Indiana Toll Road Commission hAM a ne*s conference at which the governor reported that while traffic and revenue are up 10 per cent over last year, “we must not assume it is out of the woods.” Welsh said traffic has not come up to expectations and competition from interstate highways has cut into the potential revenue. “Properly managed, it will meet its obligations but it will require close management and some help fom the legislature,” Welsh said. He said the main help needed is to permit Indiana to compete with the interstate routes for steel transportation and this is not now .possible because of maximum weight limits on truck loads. . "I plan to ask the next session for some help for the toll road,” Welsh said. “What mostly is needed is to authorize the Indiana State Highway Commission to designate access roads—one or two on and one or two off —and give them some discretion in increasing the weight limits and designating which roads.” He said the commission believes the heavy volume -of s'eel from the Gary and Burns Harbor mills to auto manufacturers in Michigan would be over the toll road if it were possible to move the same maximum load in Indiana as Michigan allows. Highway chairman David Cohen said “Michigan has practically no load limit on steel.” Some roads mentioned as possible access routes were Indiana 249, U.S. 27 and Interstate 69. Welsh said the toll road has a deficit of $3.9 million. He said, however, that $12.8 million in bonds have been retired and the bonds are now selllhg at $93.50 per SIOO bond compared with $77 in 1960. - He said the improved financial rating of the bonds is important to every Hoosier since it would affect all bonds issued by governmental units in the state. “The financial community judges a State by its bonds,” he said, “and if these were sour it would affect all other public revenue bonds.” E. J. Donnelly, a partner in the J, E. Griner Engineering Co., Baltimore, said bondholders are convinced that the road is still a good investment. Indianapolis Man Is Electrocuted Tuesday INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — David Lee Graham, 25, Indianapolis, was electrocuted Tuesday whilfe drilling on a copper pipe while standing in a puddle at an east-side home where he was installing a clothes dryer.
