In this paper we study a $C^{*}$-dynamical system (A, G, .alpha.) where A is a UHF-algebra, G is a finite abelian group and .alpha. is a *-automorphic action of product type of G on A. In [2], A. Kishimoto considered the case G= $Z_{n}$, the cyclic group of order n and investigated a condition in order that the fixed point algebra $A^{\alpha}$ of A under the action .alpha. is UHF. In later N.J. Munch studied extremal tracial states on $A^{\alpha}$ by employing the method of A. Kishimoto [3], where G is a finite abelian group. Generally speaking, when G is compact (not necessarily discrete and abelian), $A^{\alpha}$ is an AF-algebra and its ideal structure was well analysed by N. Riedel [4]. Here we obtain some conditions for $A^{\alpha}$ to be UHF, where G is a finite abelian group, which is an extension of the result of A. Kishimoto.oto.
