Diver Reports Hairy-Legged Monster in Underseas Cave MIAMI BEAOH waited for calm seas today to search for a hairy-legged, pointed- headed monster reported lurking In an undersea cave just off the beach here. The creature's presence was reported Wednesday by veteran diver Bob Wall who said he looked it right its ugly, brown-flecked eyes. "I've been diving 11 years and it was the most fantastic thing I ever saw," he said. "I couldn't believe my eyes." Wall came upon the denizen while diving for sponges, coral and to s-how tourists aboard a glass'bottomed beat. He said he looked in a cave a reef, about 35 feet down, and there it at him with its brown-spotted eyes that protrude from its head on stems.

Sounds fantastic, but officials ot the Miami seaquarium thought enough of Wall's graphic description to order an all out seach. Five divers were looking for the thing until gusty winds made the hunt impractical. Wall said the creature was about five and a half feet long and three feet high when standing, and had a long, cylindrical body, eight legs, and eyes the size of silver dollars.

The Ukiah City Council, through City Manager Lyell Cash, is informing the Lrcague of California Cities that it favors pending state legislation which would add an extra cent of gas tax per gallon of gas, the money from the extra cent to be returned to cities for use on improving city streets and bringing them closer to standards sought by the state. Cash estimates that the city could receive an additional $30,000 in gas tax money if the legislature approves the gas tax hike. This money would go towards improving city streets, which are nearly $1 million below staiKlards endorsed by the states for primary and secondary streets.

Provokes Action The gas tax proposed legislation ivas one of many bills to be introduced in the legislature affecting cities but the only bill of those outlined to the council on which definite action was taken by the council. The outline of pending legislation affecting cities was presented to the council by the League of California Cities. The council last night heard a report that some 30 feet of sand has filtered into the city's newest water well on property owned by Joe Foutz aiKi that the city would have to pull out the pump and clean it out.

U.S. Plans Test Convoy if Reds Innpose Blockade WASHINGTON (UPI) The United States has drafted a plan for sending a test convoy through a Berlin blockade if the Communist impose one. The need for a test convoy would arise if Russia abdicated its Berlin responsibilities, signed a treaty with East and gave the East Germans control of traffic routes to Berlin. It can tie reported that blueprints for the test convoy and for putting America's 330,000 military men in Europe on increased alert now exist.

Further, they can be adapted to whatever needs emerge from Allied conferences. The plan as it now stands apparently calls for sending a normal size unarmed convoy of four to ten trucks over the 110-mile road from Helmstedt in West Germany through East Germany to West Berlin. If the convoy were stopped, it might then be strengthened with tanks and go ahead. What would happen if it drew fire from East German guards was not known. It can be said that there are plans for Wester.n military forces to establish control of the highway through East Germany if high policy dictates.
