Four graduate lawyers from Latin
American countries are now enrolled
in the University Law School, under
a program sponsored by the State De-
partment in cooperation with the
University.
Candidates are selected on a com-
petitive basis by local committees in
their own country.
"The purpose of the program," said
Prof. Hessel Yntema, head of the
project, "is to provide American law-
yers and commercial firms with a
statement of the law as it exists in
Pilot Training
In Navy V-5
Program Open
The front door to pilot training in
the Navy V-5 program is still open to
17, 18 and 19 year-olds, the Detroit
Office of Naval Officer Procurement
announced yesterday.
Lieut. (jg) Dan Baker and Lieut.
(jg) George Hough, both combat vet-
erans, were on campus yesterday to
set up procedures for enlisting stu-
dents for the V-5 class beginning
March 1.
The 58 months V-5 program in-
cludes four semesters of training in
one of 26 colleges and universities,
followed by pre-flight, flying and op-
erational training.
Lieutenants Baker and Hough
urged students interested in Naval
aviation to contact their faculty ad-
visors or Assistant Dean of Students
Walter B. Rea. They said a Meeting
for explaining and clarifying the pro-
gram will be arranged if sufficient
interest is shown.
the Latin American countries and to
secure a basis for future laws that will
affect our international trade."
In Native Language
Research is mainly along lines re-
lating to bills of exchange, commer-
cial law, and international trade. The
material usually covers from 350 to
800 printed pages when published in
text form. It is written in the native
language of the student, either Span-
ish or Portuguese, but is translated
into English by members of Prof.
Yntaka's staff.
Paulo 'J. Da Silva Pinto, member
of the Brazilian Bar Association and
resident of Rio, said in an interview
that the possibility of unification in
the commercial law of the Americas
is not only very probable, but it is
very acceptable. "Commercial law
deals mainly with economic prob-
lems," he continued, "and our eco-
nomic problems are more or less the
same."
United States 'Attractive'
Outlining his reasons for comning to
the United States to study, Pinto said
that "to know the law of a country,
even superficially, you have to feel
the presence of the institutions in
which it is applied."
He also said that our country is
attractive to the foreigner because
of the happinessthat our people en-
joy and the honesty that he has found
to be an American characteristic.
"This is the land of the middle class,"
he declared.
He emphasized the fact that by
knowing. the people, we know the
countries and reiterated that the ties
between the people of Latin America'
and the people of United States are
stronger now than tley ever were.
"America is my second home," Mr.
Pinto said, "and Ann Arbor's a small
paradise."

Slow Increase
In State Crime
By The Associated Press
LANSING, Nov. 29 - There is a
gradual, but not "startling" increase
in crime in Michigan, Captain Harold
Mulbar, chief of detectives for the
Michigan State Police, reported to-
day.
Mulbar said he based his statement
on the number of fingerprints re-
ceived by the State Police Identifica-
tion Bureau from sheriffs, city police
departments and state police posts.
Last month there were 600 more
arrests than in September, although
during July of this year the state
had 161 more arrests than in October,
fingerprint records showed.
The 25 to 34-year age group heads
the list of those arrested for all
offenses, while people from 35 to 44
committed the most misdemeanors.
The major misdemeanor was listed as
drunk, or drunk and disorderly.I
Seventeen-year-olds and younger
persons top the list for larceny,
breaking and entering and auto
theft, Mulbar said.
