PASADENA, Calif., Sept. 6. (AP) Dr. Beno Gutenberg, geophyslclst of the Carnegie Institution seismologl cal laboratory and California Insti tute of Technology, ascribes the un usual devastating ocean assault on southern California beaches as due to some heavy storm In the little fre quented areas of the Pacific ocean. "Three conditions could cause such wave action on the shores." he said. "These are a sudden shift in big oceanic currents, some upheaval on the oceanic floor, or a big storm out on the ocean. "No evidence exists to support the first two probable causes, therefore we must ascribe it to a storm. Our fcpipmic records have been quiet, re vealing no activity on the ocean floor." There Is an expanse of the Pa cific ocean,' extending over a million square miles, to the west and south of California, In which there are no steamship lanes, and therefore great storms may rage with no other evi dence of them than the effects -f their waves eventually on southern California shores. gypsikTjghtfor possession of girl BUDAPEST.

There are values without price tags in Smiling ASSOCIATED SERVICE The fast lens of the Candid Camera finds in Associated Service many little extra attentions that no one can demand no one can buy. That'i why we say, there are values without price tags in Associated Service. A woman in Oakland comments: "My husband says women nr unreasonable. Perhaps he's right I do know we like little extra services. Isn't buying gasoline just like slfopping for shoes or finger waves, or groceries? I buy my groceries nt the store where they re member the brands I use, and where they carry my packages out to the car. It's the brightest, cleanest store in the neighborhood they know what women like! It's for the same reason that I stop at the Associated Service Station on the way home. If I can wait they clean the windows and the headlights. They watch the mileage, and remind me when the car needs lubricating. Once they took the time to oil a door that squeaked. And they do all these things in such a friendly way." You will agree witli the Candid Camera and with the woman from Oakland when you change to Smiling Associated Service.
