SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8—(A>)—
San Francisco’s commercial tuna
fishermen retailed 50,000 pounds of
albacore on Fishermen’s Wharf
Sunday—at 25 cents a pound.
The bargain sale of the small
tuna fish started Saturday in pro
test against absence of a protective
tariff on Japanese tuna. It develop

’’This thing may develop into
something like a farmer’s market,
with the middleman cut out,” said
Jeff Kibre, secretary of the Inde
pendent Fishermen’s Union. “We’ll
keep selling as long as this demand
keeps up.”
Kibre said the union set up the
retail stand because the California

canners are buying the Japanese
catch for as low as $225 a ton.
The fishermen get $500 a ton in

Chrysler this year introduces the first
power steering ever offered on an
American passenger car. Many owners
tell us it is the greatest advance in
car driving since the self-starter! To
a person who hasn’t tried it, it is
actually impossible to describe what
a difference it makes. Driving be
comes a new and wonderful experi
ence. At your touch on the wheel,
hydraulic power instantly provides
four-tilths ot the energy heeded to
steer the car. Gone is all sense of tug,
strain, tension. In its place you find
a wonderful sense of absolute front
wheel control with almost no effort
on your part. Hydraguide is regular
equipment on Crown Imperials, op
tional at extra cost on other 8-cylinder
models. Whatever car you’re driving
now, we invite you to . ..

First power steering ever offered on an
American passenger car!
Come TRY Chrysler FirePower . . .
180 Horsepower, finest and most pow
erful passenger car engine on America’s

Power from the engine helps apply the
brakes . . . cuts foot pressure required
as much as two-thirds!
