Later phases may need addi-
tional congressional approval
for building transit lines into
the suburbs.
Test Transit Plan
The agency is testing by
computer analysis a transit
system which ultimately may
include 10 rail lines and three
express buslines. The 1859 Mass
Transportation Survey recon-
mended four rail lines and
eight express buslines, and said
some Of the express bus system
might be converted to rail lines
after 1880.
Agency officials have been
conferring with officials of
three railroads in the area re-
garding possible use for COM
muter systems.
Rail lines that might be
used for commuter service in
the near future could include
the Baltimore & Ohio, through
Montgomery County to Rock
vile: the Pennsylvania Rail-
road through Prince Georges
County to Bowie. and the
Richmond, Fredericksburg &
Potomac through Arlington
and Fairfax Counties on a
route roughly along Shirley
highway.

With Three on
County Ticket

DiSsention within the Prince
Georges County Democratic
Party was in the open today
with O statement that one
central COMMITTEES member can
not support the reelection bid
.of three old guard incumbent
county commissioners.
Robert p. Smith. elected to
the central committee on the
insurgent Independent ticket
lin the Democratic primary,
said yesterday he no longer can
back Commissioners Jesse 8.
Baggett, Frank J. LAstner and
M. Bayne Brooke.
About the same time last
night, Robert L. Beall. chair.
man Of the county's Republic
can State Central COMMITTEES,
was telling more than so pre-
cinct workers that Q rift within
Democratic ranks would be the
party's downfall in the Novena-
Der 8 election.
Mr.. Smith said he could not
support the three commission
ers because they had failed to
consult the central committee
when It named o three-member
personnel board last week to
| institute O merit system. and
when they picked five charter
board candidates Tuesday.
These may be nonpartisan
groups but I have never known
! o case when such appointments
have nto been cleared with the
central committee" Mr.. Smith
said.
Cry Baby"
Mr.. Baggett. chairman Of
the county commissioners, said
today Mr.. Smith previously had
deplored politics role in the
selection Of supposedly nom
partisan appointees but now
that he Is on the committee he
wants q voice in these selee-
tions.
Bob Smith is Just a big cry
baby" Mr.. Baggett said. When
he can't have his way he wants
to pick up his marbles and 60
home. He can stay home as far
as I'm concerned. Who needs
him?"
Two other county commits
sioner candidates who won
nomination on the insurgent
ticket said they disagreed with
Mr.. Smiths thinking.
Mrs. Gladys Spellman and
Robert H. Sutphin. in . two
page statement cleared by Com
mittee Chairman James j.
Casey, said the recent appoint
ments ARE clearly within the
purview Of the commissioners.
They said charter Is q nom
partisan matter and that the
board administering the merit
system does not come within
the realm Of party politics"
The two admitted there were
differences between themselves
and the three old guard in-
cumbents. but that the "Ameri-
can system" calls for all five
Ito work together and arrive at
an acceptable solution"
Differences Admitted
Mr., Smith admitted heated
differences within the commit
tee and its dealings with the
county commissioners have de-
layed an appointment to the
Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
to fill a position open since
June is. The struggle has CEN
tered, in part. over an earlier
old guard move to give the Job |
to Herbert w. Reichelt, o COM |
missioner who failed to win re.
nomination In the primaries
I'm sure they're not going
to make that appointment
until after the election" Mr..
Smith said.
TITS not so much Mr.. Reich
cit. but rather the position Of
us not wanting to approve
someone the county commits
sioners want to appoint" Mr..
Smith added.
The dissension also sprung
up when the committee tried
to pick four new House of Dele.
gates candidates and adopt q
party platform. The insur-
gents have A five.nnemhAr ma.
