Submarine sighting near Martha's Vineyard sparks investigations
Oak Bluffs officer William Perry reported seeing a 50 to 75 foot greyish black submarine near Oak Bluffs Harbor across from the police station. Navy and Coast Guard could not confirm the sighting. Perry and local residents weighed possibilities of a private or research sub in Nantucket Sound amid unusual conditions. Several weather-related reports followed, with tornadoes, high winds, and floods causing damage across Indiana, Kentucky, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Iowa.

Rockefeller Plans Cuts To New York Budget
Governor Nelson Rockefeller announced he will propose reductions of at least 300 million dollars from the 8.45 billion dollar state budget amid pressure from lawmakers and the public. He warned that fully enacting the 1.1 billion dollar tax increase could harm the state's economy after private talks with Assembly Speaker Perry B. Duryea and Senate Majority Leader Earl W. Brydges. In a separate case, Edna Navratil, 37, was sentenced to four years for her role in the Marine Midland Bank Lansingburgh branch holdup last September, admitting she joined at the last moment and persuaded her husband to stay away.
