Light Ends
Blockade at
RiskyCorner

A blockade has won a victory
for Hyattsville.
The city emerged as the
winner Of q long, three-way
wrangle yesterday as q traffic
light was installed at the
entrance Of the new Prince
Georges Plaza shopping center.
Hyattsville last year asked
the Maryland State Roads
Commission to place a light at
the Belcrest road approach to
the center at East-West high
way.
But the commission and the
shopping center were unable to
agree concerning who should
maintain the signal and bear
liability for it.
But at least 26 major acci-
dents at the intersection this
year prompted the city to act
on its own. Mayor Joseph Lilly
last month called q special
meeting Of the city council
which voted to barricade Bel
crest street.
The blockade spurred agree
ment and the barricades came
down as the light went up.
The plaza will pay costs Of

OCEAN CITY. Nd, Aug. "a.
Gov. Tawes today dashed out
at Maryland's Democratic Ma
tional Committeewoman who
criticized him for not appoint
ing more Of her sex to high
State ONCE.
The Governor, red-faced and
angry at the criticism. gave
Mrs. Mildred Otenasek q verbal
spanking for her handling of
the situation before some 200
members Of the United Dem
ocratic Women's Clubs.
He made it clear he had been
miffed last month at receiving
o telegram signed by Mrs.
Otenasek carrying an ultima
tum Of more appointments for
women or the loss Of their
support for him In his rumored
bid to run as q "favorite son
candidate" for the Democratic
presidential nomination.
The telegram went to the
press before he received it, the
Governor said. He suggested
the matter could have been
handled better II the women
had sent q delegation to him to
discuss their complaints.
Tawes Rebuts Charge
He said he had appointed
some 100 women to ONCE since
he took over the governorship
last January. He invited a dele
cation including Mrs. Otenasek.
Mrs. Nina Lee, Of Montgomery,
and Mrs. Ruby Hahn, Of Fred
erick County. to come to An
napolis to discuss the matter.
Mrs. Otenasek was seated
smiling beside the Governor as
he reprimanded her.
When 1t was all over she
said:
He got a little too mad"
Mrs. Otenasek reiterated her
ultimatum today and demanded
that at least nine Of the SO
delegates to the national con-
vention be women next year.
She made it clear, however,
that she was aware she had
fallen out of good graces with
party leaders for her July wire.
