THE MICHIGAN DAILY - SATURDAY, AUG.1,1943' I Arms Output Of Auto Plants Is on Upgrade Production Increases In Spite of 'Second Conversion' of Firms By The Associated Press DETROIT, Aug. 6.- Although the strategy of war has necessitated many changes in material' require- ments-in some cases requiring a complete cessation of production of one type of implement while another is put into production-the automo- tive industry's over-all output of armament still is on the upgrade. This is emphasized by the Auto- motive 'Council - or War Production in pointing 'out how the industry is going through what it terms a "sec- ond conversion," contrasting sharply with the' initial swing from civilian to wartime manufacturing activities. The council points out that in May of this year, the month during which the nation's output of war materiel lagged according to Donald M. Nel- son, chief of the War Production Board, the automotive industry pro- duced $25,000,000 more in war goods than it did in the preceding month. Significant of the trend in war goods manufacture is the fact that in the last quarter of 1941-that in- cluded the Pearl Harbor attack- more than half the military output of the car industry was made up of vehicles for the armed forces, while 12 months later vehicles made up only 29 percent and in April of this year represented 25 percent of the industry's war goods production.

Latin American Bureaus Protectt Indiani Culture ; Solution of Problems ' Is Vital to Republics, Prof. Titiev Declares "Practically every Latin-American country has a vigorous bureau of In- dian affairs to see to it that the In- dians' place in culture, society and government is developed and pro- tected." Prof. Mischa Titiev of the anthropology department said in a Quarterly Review article yesterday. Discussing "Indian Problems of Latin America," Prof. Titiev pointed out that the satisfactory solution of Indian problems is not a question of sentiment, but is oftvital impor- tance to the republics, such as Mex- ico, whose total population is 90 per cent Indian or mestizo. Spandiards Seized Treasures "The Spandiards who first pene- trated the New World were primarily interested in seizing either great stocks of accumulated treasures or in finding natives who might be con- verted to Catholicism," he said. "Consequently, their scheme of at- tack was invariably to seek out and subdue the most populous and highly developed centers of Indian life." "The natives soon discovered that they were bound to the land' as serfs, although they were legally free, and they steadily grew more and more dispirited as they came to realize the hopelessness of their fate," Prof. Tietiev said. The Aztec tribe, which dominated the Mexico area, were skilled archi- tects, clever craftsmen, and efficient administrators, but their aggressive policies had made them a great many enemies who aided the, Spaniards in bringing about their downfall, he said. Mayas Developed Alphabet In Guatemala and the Yucatan, the Maya Indians were outstanding, he said. Their greatest achievements were in intellectual pursuits, and developed a written alphabet and a precise calendrical system. "Another zone of Indian culture was located in the Andean high- lands where the Incas ruled. They are best noted for their social and political system, which may be described as a benevolent dictator- ship," he said. "A far reaching program of re- forms has long been overdue, and it is encouraging to know that it is now actually under way," Prof. Titiev concluded. Co. A To March Aug. 23 with Military Police Army Camp To Be Built At West Park; Parade Will Begin at 6 p.m. Company A, 3651st S. U., will take part in the parade to be given Mon- lay, Aug. 23 as a part of the program )f the River Rouge special military police battalion. The parade will begin at 6 p.m., ollowing a full day exhibition of the miniature' Army camp at West Park, where civilians will have a chance to ee how an Army camp is organized. March To Begin at Chapin The line of march will begin at Chapin and Huron and will proceed from there to the site of the sham battle at the Municipal Golf Course. The Army units will be accompan- ed in the parade by a 45 piece band, a detachment of WAGS and various ocal organizations. Approximately 500 men will clash in the sham battle on the golf course, using blank ammunition and light, medium and heavy weapons. Besides two of the 33-ton, so-called "medium" General Sherman tanks, the battalion will have two 14-ton light "Honey" tanks of the latest design, four 25-ton tank carriers, three amphibious jeeps and an as- sortment of regular jeeps, scout cars and half trucks. The versatile am- phibious jeep may be demonstrated on the Huron River. Experts Will Explain Battle Military experts will be on hand to explain the action over a public address system operated by the U.S. Signal Corps. The MP's will also bring airplane landing mats, an airplane engine mounted for display and a Link trainer. The evening program will open with a concert by the battalion band, followed by the sham battle, and will close with a formal retreat parade. This ceremony, the Army's "good- night" to the national emblem, in- cludes a formation of the entire bat- talion, lowering of the Flag, and a review of the troops. During the afternoon, some of the military police will visit nearby farms, perhaps demonstrating the use of Army jeeps in plowing, while others will visit factories throughout the city to see the work of the men on the home front. The military police battalion is formally designated as an Army sa- lute caravan. Capt. Harrison L. Win- ter, Army director, stated that the program, a salute to Ann Arbor labor, industry and agriculture, will give the unit tactical training.
