The area is sprinkled with old mining settlements from the 1850s gold rush days and is a popular ski area in winter and a wilderness fishing and issued a preliminary warning Thursday of possible volcano danger in the Mammoth Lakes area and the adjoining Long Valley-Mono Lake region, about 100 miles southeast of Lake Tahoe. The USGC said ash clouds could deposit hot debris and gases up to 12 miles from the MENLO PARK (UPI) -Scientists say a possible volcanic eruption in the eastern Sierra near the California-Nevada border could spill hot debris and volcanic ash over a lightly populated area near Yosemite National Park.

The U.S. Geological Survey Mediterranean fruit fly in California may be declared in September, officials in charge of Californias war against the pest said Thursday. No live medflies have been found in California since Nov. 20, 1981, five months after Gov. Edmund G.

Brown Jr. reluctantly approved an aerial spraying campaign against the fruit-destroying insect, over protests of urban residents of the South San Francisco Bay region. As a result, managers of the federal-state medfly countermeasures project plan to discharge about half their 400 employees in the second half of July. Most are young college graduates hired to patrol lines of medfly traps in the most Intense insect detection project ever carried out in the United States. The absence of the fly this year after explosive outbreaks in the warm months of 1980 and 19J11 has inspired entomologists with growing but still guarded optimism.

Earlier they had predicted the flies would reappear this year, but in smaller numbers. Were still thinking we might find a few, one official at Medfly Project headquarters. of or housing eggs, aerial spraying now is confined to three small zones with a total area of 29.7 miles in San Mateo, Santa Cruz and Santa Clara counties. Spraying in a 10.8 square mile region in San Mateo county and a 3.5 square mile zone in Mountain View is expected to end around July 6. A technical advisory committee including federal and state entomologists is trying to fix a date to terminate spraying of 15.4 square mile region on the crest of the Santa Cruz mountains.

The official medfly quarantine zone, from which travelers cannot remove produce, has shrunk from 3,935 square miles to 2,984, due to complete eradication in San Benito, Stanislaus and Los Angeles Counties. Removal of the quarantine in the southern parts of Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties is under study and may come before the end of the month. A large part of the battle against the medfly was finding it. new steam vents in the area. The findings suggest a tongue of molten rock (magma) several miles below the earths surface may be moving upward.

The ultimate consequences of this activity are uncertain, the latest report said. It is quite possible that no eruption will occur and that the magma will cool and solidify to form an intrusion at depth. If an eruption does oocur, the possible consequences vary greatly in severity. The kinds of activity that might be expected include phreatic (steam) explosions, pumice and ash falls, pyroclastic flows, mudflows, and extrusion of a lava dome. hunting region in summer.

It has about 5,000 year-round residents. The report stressed there was no danger of an immediate eruption, but said recent events in the area indicate an eruption could take place in the near future. There has not been an eruption in the area for centuries, but recent changes in earthquake patterns and other events last month prompted the scientists to issue a potential hazard warning, the lowest of three levels of formal concern issued by the earth science agency. The volcanic hazards notice was issued after scientists noted intermittent swarms of earthquakes and spasmodic tremors and the outbreak of Computer Gives Meaning To Handicapped Man's Life SAN DIEGO (UPI) The chunky, black-cased keyboard tube in Don Linville's tiny front room is not the most modem or sophisticated of todays computer terminals in fact, its nearly obsolete.
