"More than 450 of the guards at the small arms ammunition plant on Goodfellow and Bircher Boulevards, are shown being sworn in yesterday as auxiliary army police by Col. Roy L. Bowlin. The men will be drilled and instructed as military units and be under the command of army officers but will retain most civilian rights. A second group was sworn in at the Ordnance Plant later in the day. All guards at government-owned or government-operated plants are being taken over in the same manner."
