STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal
Aug 27-IR- The once plentiful
sardine has-with almost startling
suddenness-vanished mysteriously
from the Pacific Coast fishing
grounds.
Barely two years ago sardines
teemed by the millions in coastal
waters.
Today they have all but dis
appeared, battling commercial sar-
dine fishermen and Gamers.
To commercial interests in Cali
fornia, it is a $4,000 headache
and the symptoms appear disas-
trous to the industry at this point.
The cold, hard fact is that the
mystery of the vanishing sardine
has scientists stumped to date.
They are convinced that the
problem created in the Pacific
Coast fishing industry by the
steady decrease of catches can only
be solved by deep-sea scientific ex-
petitions.
Here at Stanford University, the
U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Are You Yelling About
Rain! Just Look What
Rain Did, New York City
(By The Associated Press

Near normal weather, with sea-
sonable temperatures, prevailed over
most of the country today.
The cool air which broke the Mid
vests protracted heat wave Monday,
pushed into the north Atlantic
States yesterday, ending three days
of hot weather.
Thunderstorms preceded the mass
of cool air into the Eastern States.
An electrical rain and hail storm
struck New York City and score
of persons were injured. Easements
were flooded, telephone service in
terrupted and subway service was
disrupted The fall measured 3.44
inches and temperatures dropped
from a record of 81 for the date to
ST in less than two hours.
About 20 persons were injured in
a rush by passengers to flee two
street cars which were struck by
lightning. A dozen bolts struck the
Empire State Building, but there
was no damage.
Federal forecasters in Chicago
said there was no indication of an
immediate return of excessive heat
to the Midwest or Eastern States.
They said, however, readings in the
COS were expected in the South from
the Carolinas into the Gulf States
and into Texas.

Tags Set for
Rest Of Year
Round Of Auto Price In
lreases CompIefed-May
Go Higher in 1913

DETROIT, Aug. 27-lR-With $45
to more than S225 added to the
price-tags of new passenger cars
manufactured throughout the auto
industry producers indicated today
that the line would hold for the rest
of the year
But prospective buyers, cycling the
price boosts announced yesterday by
the Ford Motor Co. and Studebaker
Corp, to complete the round of in
creases, wondered if the many
changes contemplated for 1948 mod
els would send the cost of their new
cars still higher.
Studebaker, last of the makers to
mark up prices, announced from
South Bend, Ind, last night that $50
to Sis would be added to it's car and
truck models.
The action followed by only few
hours a Ford announcement OF in
creases ranging from $86 to 1929 on
Lincoln, Mercury and so-called lux
ury' models. Sunday, the Ford con-
Germ. which earlier in the year had
cut its prices, announced boosts OF
$62 to 500 on Ford standard models.
Other recent hikes-all attributed
to increased manufacturing and
material costs include:
Chevrolet-$57 to $40 on standard
models; $170 on station wagons.
Plymouth-$75 to S85 on popular
models; $130 on special deluxe"
station wagon.
Hudson-$45 to 500; Cadi,lac-$66
to S168; Packard-$92 to 5000.
Industry observers indicated that
extensive re-tooling planned for 1913
models probably would run into mil
lions of dollars and might mean
further advances in retail prices
next year.

the prosecution charge today that
they delibertly fosteyed Adolf Hit

And further than that, Brig. Gen.

would breed a new war if they got
another chance.
These are the men who made
war possible, and they did it be-
cause they wanted to conquer,
said Taylor, United States chief
of counsel for war crimes.
These men were governed by
the same unquenchatle thirst for
power that for years has gripped
and distorted the minds OF the
military caste and many other
leading Germans. Their long
range objective was ultimate
lv Farbens domination of the
chemical industry of the world.
What these men did was done
with the utmost elaboration and
would, l venture to surmise, be
repeated if the opportunity should
recur"

For their trial, which may es-

the Farben officials sat in the
same dock where Hermann Goer-
