BARTD directors approved the routing for 7.2 miles of line from the east portal of the Berkeley Hills tunnel near' Orinda to Walnut Creek in the median of Highway 24 freeway.

S.F. Symphony Makes Pitch The San Francisco SyAphony has appealed urgently for funds to erase a $306,000 deficit for the 1964-65 season. Philip S. Boone, president of the Symphony Association, said this year's fund drive is now at the halfway mark and still needs $150,000 to reach its goal. "If we fail to erase this season's deficit, we must face the fact that it is very likely we will lose the orchestra we now have," Boone said.

"And if we fail, we fall not only the orchestra, but the city and the entire California community as well." Boone said this year's deficit Is substantially higher owing to a new three-year contract calling for longer seasons and high tags were held at each of the schools this week outlining open First National Bank, on 21th between Franklin and Webster.
