By turning the freeway, east of tie city at Crespi drive, the com mission agreed, construction of new cross-county arterial between San Bruno and Rockaway Beach would be facilitated by using joint route for both roads.

Adoption of the eastward route and combination of the two free ways would eliminate the necessity constructing a gigantic traffic interchange that would take a large section of hillside.

Commissioners pointed out that a route for the cross-county arterial that.has been adopted by the state is already being built up with homes which will have to be disrupted when actual construction begins. By adopting the commission's proposal, the highway could be more rapidly constructed, and less homes would have to be razed, it was claimed.

School officials said no white child showed up for today's classes. A 10-woman committee visited the home of a white mother who insisted on sending her child' to William Frantz. The committee refused to discuss-the interview with the- balking mother. "All of us mothers are going to have to stick together," said one committeewoman. "We're going to get the job done."
