Sudden End

The series Of hearings OF q
special committee Of the Mary.
land Legislative Council inves.
tigating Potomac River water.
shed problems came 10 a sud.
den end last night.
In q session held In Oxor
Hill, Md. Committee Chairman
Hervey O. Machen announced
that his group expects to meel
no more except to draft ar
INTERN" report some time mex
month. Mr.. Machen explained
that his committee has simply
run out Of counties that are In
terested in stating their view
on Potomac River problems.
The purpose Of the commit.
tee when 1t was organized last
winter was to hold public hear
ings in all the Maryland coun.
ties in the Potomac watershed
The views Of all nine OF these
counties were asked.
The Prince Georges County
hearing last night. however,
took in only the fourth Of the
nine counties.
Two Counties Refuse
Montgomery and Frederick,
two of the counties chiefly con-
cerned with the Potomac. re-
fused to participate. Aside from
Prince Georges. the only other
counties heard from have been
Garrett. Allegany and WASH
ington.
According to Chairman Ma
chen. the Montgomery and
Frederick delegations wanted
no hearings in their areas be
cause Of the controversies In
volved."
Mr.. Machen would not elab-
crate. However. the obvious
reference was 70 the proposal
to build a high dam on the
Potomac near River Bend to
provide adequate water supply
for Metropolitan Washington
1 in the future. The Maryland
land that would be inundated
by such q dam lies In Mont
gomery and Frederick Counties.
/ Fear Of controversy seems tc
have gripped others. Notable
tmong these last night was the
Washington Engineer District
Of the Army Engineer Corps
now conducting . comprehen-
sive survey Of the river basin

A spokesman for the engineer
district let It be known that

official said.
Mr.. Machen expressed cha
grin over this.
This Committee had beer

pointed members Of the School
Board. The Star prints this ac-
count of what happened.
On October Q. a Star reporter
sought the reaction of Mr..
Peck to the decision of School
Supt. T. Edward Rutter to
furnish available textbook in
formation to the Thomson
racial investigative committee.
Mr.. Rutter declined to furnish
additional details which were
not Immediately available.
Indirectly Quoted
The reporter was unable to
interview Mrs. Lane at the time
he talked with Mr.. Peck. The
Star story indirectly quoted
Mr.. Peck and Mrs. Lane as say
ing they had not been con-
suited on the matter and as
feeling that the superinten-
dents reply to the Thomson
committee. has no official
status"
What was intended TO be con-
veyed by Mr.. Peck was not that
the superintendent letter had
no ofiicial status" but that the
letter had not come before the
School Board, and therefore
had no status which involved
that board.
Neither Mr.. Peck nor Mrs.
Lane had complained about the
action of Supt. Rutter to The
Star. or. as far as The Star
knows. to anybody else.
Subsequently Herbert L.
Brown. candidate for the Ar
lington County Board on the
ticket Of Arlingtonians for a
Better County. in a statement
in the Northern Virginia Sun.
accused Mrs. Lane and Mr..
Peck Of making q public at
tack" on the school superin-
tendent.
Called irresponsible"
Mr.. Brown also was quoted In
the Sun as saying the attack
furnished further evidence OF
the "irresponsibility" Of the two
AIM-appointed School Board
members.
Nothing that Mr.. Peck told
The Star could be interpreted
by anyone as an attack on the
school superintendent and Mrs.
Lane made no statement at all.
At a meeting Of the School
Board last Thursday night,
Mrs. Lane said she was being
unjustly criticized in the
County Board campaign and
wanted space on school bulletin
boards to clear her name.
Mrs. Lane said she had 're-
fused TO drag education into
political matters" but the situa-
ton had "snowballed" to the
point where she was being de-
scribed as irresponsible.
Il did not attack Mr.. Rut-
ter" said Mrs. Lane.
withdraAs Request
She withdrew her request for
bulletin board space after z. r.
Draheim. one Of the Abe ma
jority members Of the School
Board. said the board has never
told individual schools what
shey should put on their bull
letin boards.
