Discover New Treasure
Of Relics in Mexico

OAXACA, MEXICO.-A new ar
theological find, believed to be of
major importance, has come to light
in the state of Puebla, near the re-
sort city of Tehuacan.
The discovery is of the ruins of
Cuta, ancient city which appears to
be a mine of relics of the Zapotec
style Of the great Oaxaca culture.
With excavation just begun, scien-
fists have already uncovered mounds
which enclose tombs and temples;
stalrways, ramps and wells which
are similar to those uncovered at
Monte Alban in Oaxaca.
Travellers in Mexico find visits IN
archaeological diggings among the
most thrilling of experiences in the
land, for they reconstruct pages of
the past when civilizations rivalinq
our own flourished.

Teach Workers
ToAidFighters
Train Mechanics to Handle
Replacement Parts 'on
Spot When Needed 4

DETROIT.-A three-point pro-
gram designed to help keep the
planes, tanks and guns of the United
Nations at highest possible fighting
efficiency" was announced by Gen
eral Motors corporation.
The program contemplates the
training Of thousands of mechanics,
the placing of General Motors engl-
neers in the field and assistance to
the army and navy in having re-
placement parts on the spot when
needed"
The training Of mechanics alone
calls for expenditures totaling
$4,000, 900 for the current year. II
will involve the training of thou
sands of instructors in scores OF
centers throughout the country.
c. L. McCuen, vice president in
charge of engineering for General
Motors, said in announcing the pro-
gram:
Opens New Chapter.
1--WE feel it opens a new chapter
in the relationship of war contrac-
tors to their government. In past
wars a contractors responsibility
ended when he turned in l 1000 horses
at a quartermaster' depot. But in
today's war of horsepower the old
rules no longer apply. Today the
three RS of modern mechanical
battle are reliability, repair and re-
placement When we turn in LOCO
horses to the air corps in the
form of an airplane engine we feel
that's just the first part of our job.
I'VE conceive it to be part of our
job not only to build an airplane
engine but to help train men to OPP
crate and maintain that engine, to
find out through observation in the
field how we can build a better en-
CINE and to see that spares are on
hand when requirements for any
part of that engine are needed"
Special STATS are being set up to
promote each of the activities pro-
posed in the program.
Some General Motors divisions,
such as Allison and Chevrolet. have
had schools for army instructors in
operation for some time. These
will be expanded and other divi-
sions will set up schools of their
own. Heads of the various General
Motors divisions have been advised
that schools should get under way at
least 80 days before volume delive~-
les Of any product reach the field.
Engineer Observers.
The plan for the engineering OBJ
server service calls for each manu-
featuring division of the corporation
with products in the field to set I'D
its own engineer contracts. In add
ton, the special stats created un-
der Mr.. McCuen's direction will
place one engineer observer in each
army area and one in each of the
major theaters of war.
The objective of the engineer OBJ
server service, General Motors ex-
planned, sis to obtain field reaction
to our products, both here and over
seas, promptly and accurately"
A general program is being worked
for the maintenance of an ADEQUATE
flow of parts to the war fronts. In
this phase of the program as with
the engineer observer project, Gen.
eral Motors overseas organization is
cooperating.
