Of course he had one advantage Yvonne was the pitcher. "The Neighborhood Youth Corps members were serving in a program designed to take playgrounds to the housing projects. Between 200 and 400 -1 youngsters a day are served byittie Which oprates in both East and West Oakland.

The program personnel includes such star athletes as Jimmy Hines, the Oakland track star who's training for the Olympics. Most of the leaders are teen-agers from families living in low-income areas. Between 14 and 18 years old, these were the young peo- pie who the experts predicted would not last summer. In- stead they participated in the Neighborhood Youth Corps helping children, improving neighborhoods, aiding older people who were Hinable to care for. themselves.

And this year the program is off to a better start than last. Team leader Wagner, for instance, chose the recreation program because he enjoyed working Vilh youngsters. He hopes to wind up in a career wjth IBM, but this summer he's dedicating his time to leading games, taking children from the housing projects on excursions to Roberts Park and the Knowland Zoo, directing arts and crafts projects. He is poised and assumes leadership easily. Other NYC members look to him for in- structions and he gives them with tact and good humor.

Then the NYC enrollees suggest new games and it isn't long before the children are having a good time. So are the NYC workers, most of whom find real satisfaction in helping others. Explained Wagner: "We just enjoy it, working with kids.

And the kids seem to like it, too." The success of the Oakland program is attracting national attention through reports in poverty war bulletins and word of mouth.

PoAions of Montgomery and Lombard streets below Telegraph Hill will be closed with the board's permission. But the developers, North Waterfront Associates, will be required to: Assure that at least two thirds of the -g a areas and 50 per cent of the-building interiors will be open to the public. That an independent architectural committee will screen all plans.

And that at least one facade of the historic Sea Wall warehouse will be retained. I Approval came after Mayor Joseph Alioto and a variety of other proponents testified. A spokesman for the developers, Thomas Feeney, said some were unhappy about the qualifications, but added: "We caijl liye with it." The controversy developed over whether portions of two of San Francisco's best known streets should be eliminated.

Sheehan said the Todd company wanted the unanimous support of-the Bay area "maritime community" in its application to the U.S. Corps of Engineers for the drydock site. Asked by Tripp if the Todd company would dredge part of the Oakland side of the Estuary "so we wouldn't lose any channel," Sheehan replied, "I'd say yes." But the port board would not agree to remove this stipulation from its stated position with the Corps of Engineers until meetings are held to solve any difficulties among the port, the Todd company, and Schnitzer Bros.

When Mayor McCall urged the port to support the Todd plan, port board member George J. Vukasin recited a list of disputes, between the port and the City of Alameda. "In my seven years on this commission we have made a number of requests," Vukasin said, "and the City of Alameda was not available to provide for dredging, in the And there Was the matter of a fireboat. And there is the noise problem with our airport and Bay Farm and we argued with you and there was no solution." The port filed suit to condemn part of a new residential community planned for filled land at Bay Farm Island to prevent lawsuits by residents against the port because of airliners taking off from adjacent Oakland International Airport, and also for other air easements overBay Farm lsland. The case goes to trial in Alameda County Superior Court on Oct.

BART fiscal crisis is re- solved by that time. The deadline was handed to lawmakers by B. R. BART general manager, 'as the Senate prepared to debate a bill solving the district's problem by raising tolls on the Bay, Hayward-San Mateo and Dumbarton bridges. Stokes emphasized that it no longer is possible to "bobtail" transit network by cutting off the ends of the line.

The district has enough money to continue letting construction contracts for only three more months, he reported. No trains can roll, he said, until there is a commitment from the legislature that the estimated deficit of $144 million wilrte met. Last year, StQkes announced that the district would run out of money in April, but that forecast proved pessimistic. Lawrence D. Dahms, the legislative staff member who has been assigned as "watchdog" over BART finances, confirmed that JStokes', Oct0v ber deadline is accurate.

The bridge toll bill, authored by Sen. George Milller D-Martinez, is expected to be approved by the Senate. Even some senators who do not favor the measure are prepared to vote for it in order to get some BARTJiscal vehicle moving. The other major bill, authored by Assemblyman Don Mulford, R-Oakland, and Robert Crown, D-Alameda, is still stuck in the Senate Governmental Efficiency Committee. The Mulford Crown proposal was scheduled to be heard last night, but the bill was put over until tomorrow because of 1 with technical amendments.

The by Assemblyman Don Mulford, R-Oakland, requires a city to tax its own residents on an equal basis with commuters. Mayor Joseph L.

The mayor of Alameda has proposed marriage. The president of the board of port commissioners wants a formal en-t gagement period in which to stddy it There is the question of a dowry for dredging costs, and there'' may be no betrothal without a $7 million floating drydock. They have agreed to meet openly in August, with the mayor chaperoned by his city council. It has been a stormy courtship, with a lawsuit over airport rights, an argument over who would pay for a fireboat, and numerous spurned requests to help get the silt out of the Oakland Estuary.

Mayor William M. McCall, after a passionate exchange yesterday with the port board, told board president Peter M. Tripp: "We need a marriage." Tripp replied, "I want to become engaged and pursue that marriageith you." They will discuss their "common interests" in August. Yesterday's love came after a dispute about the plans of Todd Shipyards to install a floating drydock, 900 feet long and 100 feet wide, in the Es-. tuary on the Alameda shore.

The Port of Oakland is concerned that the drydock will narrow the ship channel in the Estuary from the existing 600 foot width to. 500 feet. It wants assurance that Todd would dredge the Estuary's north shore at that point to restore the width to 600 feet. Port officials are also concerned about the effects of the drydock on the plans of Schnitzer Bros, of Oakland to expand their scrap steel processing operation for automobile shredding and the bulk loading of scrap iron onto ships in the Estuary opposite the Todd drydock site. a job that took him oh the road so rented the brand new dwelling to two pretty "girls.
