14--SAN MATED TIMES WEDNESDAY, DEC. 31, 1952 Board Group For 2 Crossings State-county committeemen of the San Frarchco board supervisors yesterday -ote" two to one to urge upon their full board the passage of a resolution recoit- ir ading simultaneous construction 'for new bay crossings parallelling the present bay bridge aiid south of Army street. Voting for the measure were Supervisors Marvin Lewis and John J. Sulli'an. Opposed was Edward T.

Mancuso. The committee heard an estimate that six years would be required for the building of the two crossings. An observer at the committee hearing was Mayor Clifford E. Rishell of Oakland whose only comment was that a similar committee the east bay would be to' examine any plan submitted. Chief administrative officer, Thomas Brooks, advised caution in approving the resolution on the grounds that it represents abandonment, of the city's official opposition to a parallel span and the financial implications of the program are not yet sufficiently known.

City Planning Director Paul Opperman continued objections to a parallel bridge on the ground that it wouH be a waste of public money and wasteful of valuable ramp sites. The resolution will come before the supervisors Monday, with Lewis predicting a delay of two weeks for study by the full board. 2 Fined for Bruno Cafe Disturbance (Times County News Service) SAN BRUNO, Dec.

Everest expedition has come down scoffing at stories that an "abominable snowman" lives in the towering Himalaya peaks, but a British mountain expert thinks it will take more than that to explain away the strange footprints he found.

Eric Shipton, leader of the British Everest expedition of 135.1 and across the footprints on one of the glaciers of the Menlung basin at about 19,000 feet. They followed them for a mile or so but went further because they were carrying heavy loads and had an important reconnaissance to make. "I have in the past found many sets of these curious footprints and have tried to follow them," Shipton said, "but have always lost them adviser to a projected 195? climb-1 on the oraine or rocks at the side of the glacier." The explorer said these particular tracks seemed to be very fresh, probably not more than 24 hours old.

Pbrkinv area for 20 cars ing group, was the first man to bring back evidence that some beast is able to exist in the frozen snows at least 19,000 feet lip in the Himalayas. During the 1951 search for possible new ways to the world's highest peak he photographed two sets of weird footprints, which one of his native bearers ciaimed were those of "wild men." Shipton, veteran of a half-dozen Himalaya expeditions, has cautiously related his discovery of the tracks in a new book entitled "The Mount Everest Reconnaissance Expedition 1951." He was asked today whether the Siwiss comment had helped make uo his mind whethe 1 him the tracks he photographed were those of a lost animal, which blundered up into the heights, or of some sort of "yeit" or "wild man." The word in Tibetan translates to "the abominable snowman." "The only remotely plausible explanation of the tracks we have heard is that they were made by a Langur monkey," Shipton replied. "But this isn't very convincing and I believe those who suggested it would be the first, to admit it.

I frankly don't know what made the tracks."

"He told me that two years before, he and a number of other shepherds had seen one of them at a distance of about 25 yards at Thyangbochi. "He described it as half-invn, half-beast, standing about five six inches, with a tall, poi ed head, its body covered with reddish-brown hair, but with a hairless face. "Later on had him cross- examined in Nepali--for I conversed with him in Hindustani-and he left no doubt as to his sincerity. "Whatever it was that he had seen he was convinced it was neither a bear nor a monkey, with both of which animals he was, of course, very familiar.

Shipton said next year's British Everest expedition may solve the mystery. A.F.of L. Leader Sees 1953 Labor Peace LOS ANGELES 1953 will be a "practically strikeless year."

Twin With New Scalp 'Resting' CHICAjGO OP)--Physicians hoped today that a new scalp flap drawn across the brain of 15-month-old Rodney Dee Brodie would minimize the danger of cerebral infection in the separated Siamese twin.

The skin flap was put in place yesterday in a two hour and 15 minute operation--the first surgery since Rodney was separated from his weaker twin, Roger Lee, 13 days before. Roger Still in Coma Meanwhile, Roger was still in a deep coma more than 300 hours after the 12-hour and 40-minute operation that separated him from Rodney. The twins had been joined the top of their skulls with their legs pointing in opposite directions. Doctors at the University of Illinois educational and research hospital said today that Rodney was resting as well "as could be expected" after yesterday's surgery. First Order of Business Roger, who was deprived of a vital blood-draining vein in the operation which separated him from his brother, was still far too "precarious" to undergo the skin flap surgery.

But if he ever gains strength it will be the first order of business for the child. The skin flap placed over Rodney's brain vault does not quite cover the brain. A tough membrane called the dura mater protects the exposed portion. The flap v.ill be extended soon in order to cover that area too. The next step for Rodney will be to provide a "supporting structure" under the skin flap, such as a bone graft taken from his hip or a plastic or metal cap.

Doctors set no date for this next operation.
