Under cleaE blue skies, before a large responsive worker-citizen audience, New Haven's historic central green was scene today of LIE (CIO) sponsored citizen rally in the continuing Winchester Arms - CIO labor -manag cement battle which originated September 21 with a lockout of 3rd shift roll ing mill workers at the Winchester Plant.
 Over smooth working public ad- dress amplifiers, an interested aud fence heard an impressive array of speakers including: Vincent Ro- meo, CLOS International Field Or ganizer and chairman of meeting, James Geelan, Congressman from the 3rd Congressional Distdict; Ed McCrone, CIO Regional Director, Doxey Wilkerson, Peoples Voice general manager and National Ne gro Congress Executive, Clark Bowman, representing Religion and Labor Foundation at Yale Divin- ity School, fay the present Win chester lafoor-manage cement policy as "dictatorial, unAmerican and generally hostile" to the best in terest of the workman.
 Speaker Ed McCrone scored MT. Thomas I. s. Boak, works manager at the Winchester Plant as a brow beater of workers, as a user of epithets and other tactics of inti- midation as instruments of persua- sion in his company-inspired zeal to hold the line against the for ward march of unionism. Boak was repeatedly described as one who hob-nobs over dinner plates and cocktail glasses with the indus trially powerful and who delights in concocting misleading newspa- per statements for public consump- tion.
 Interspersing his remarks be- tween those of other speakers, MT. Vincent Romeo stated that AT of L teamsters are not taking any freight in or out of the plant and that the R. R. Brotherhood twill not cross the picket line"

By James E. Shankel

By James E. Shankel
 In her recent talk before the To- cal Negro Congress, Miss Thelma Dale, field secretary for the Ma tional Negro Congress, stated: Ut is evident that President Truman has been captured by reactionaries in Congress" She urged mem bers to "vote for progressive can didates irrespective of party" and reported that at a meeting of the Crusaders in Washington, Mrs. Stephens had declared that the bows in the Tennessee riot were EInnocent." However, Mrs. Ste nhens is said to have added that the boys live under deplorable eco homie conditions that they are ot- ten unable to afford the trips to and from the court houses and to cities to prove their innocence. The speaker made it clear that the Negro problem in the South IS not separable from the Negro problem as a whole. Pointedly she con- tinued on the political question with: "The past record of the Re publican party showed that it had linked hands with the Southern Democrats on nearly every occa- sion forming coalitions hostiles to Negroes best interest.

CIO Rallies New N Haven wOr kerS

Speaker Ed McCrone, scored MT Boak time and again for discharg- ing two army vets "who slept in and fought out of fox holes to preserve the very democracy which he enjoys"
 MT. Doxey Wilkerson, National Negro Congress Executive and general manager of the Peoples Voice publication, skilfully re- counted his past experiences with familiar company employed tech niques for dividing workers seek ing decent living standards and wages through unionization. He urged white and Negro workers not to be mislead by the siren songs of the company big-wigs.
 In Detroit several years ago, MT. Wilkerson continued, the Ford Co.,, ''like MT. Boak" tried to lure the Negro workers away from the union by appealing to them to re- ly on precarious company gener- osity in employment matters, as against unionization. One Negro minister was wined and dined by company cohorts and could per sonally obtain work for any Negro worker by simple phone call to the bosses.
 In Baltimore, during attempts at unionizing a certain shop, the company sought to divide the Ne gro and white workers by asking whites edo you want Negro boss es? do you want your daughter to marry Negro?" Negroes were told to stay with their white boss es, that once unionized whites would get all the jobs, etc.
 Through the PV, NNC execu- tive's eloquent talk, the local Ne gro Congress presented an able champion, one who excited a wave of query as to "who is he'' etc., which continued for some time af- ter he'd left the city.
 During the course of the meet ing MT. Romeo announced that all issues had been settled satisfac- torily excepting the rehiring Gin good standing" of three discharged men, two of them vets.

They have just completed their
most ambitious hoax on nature, a
giant tri-seasonal diorama donated
by the late William Bausch to the
Rochester Museum of Arts and
Sciences. Rochester, N. Y. With
100 different species of flowers and
5000 individual blooms, this prof.
ect took them a mere Is years to
dash off.
Making a flower, Marchand
style, is a process nearly as won
drous as natures own. The BROTH
ers always start with an origi-
nal. They make a plaster of
Paris mold Of each tiny fla
lnent, pistil and stamen. Then
they cast each part in wax, or Gel
luloid. reinforcing delicate petals
with cotton fbers and hair thin
wires.
Some flowers, such as daisies,
are relatively simple and require
only Is to 20 molds. The Mar
chands can rap out daisy in
week. But when it comes to
milkweed, with its Louis XIV
hair-do, some As individual molds
are required.
For their work in miniature, the
brothers have developed their own
line of tools. You just can't 60

In THEIR years of painstaking
work on the Rochester diorama
the Marchands produced such
varied fora as the pitcher plant.

cabbage, spring beauty, Dutch
man 's-breeches, squirrel corn, red

add the call of birds, the twitter
of insects and the croak of the
frog which basks on a log in the
middle of the stream. About the
only thing the Marchands don't
plan to do is rent out the joint for
picnics.
The preparation of the con-
tented frog referred to above, and
the hundreds of other aquatic
denizens the Marchands have
made, involves a special problem.
George and Paul have tender
hearts and the idea Of molding
frog limb by limb would be as re-
pugnant to them as to the frog.
They solve the problem by
anesthesia. When they've found
a likely croaker they put him to

Once a turtle decided this was
worse than going to the dentist
and promptly popped himself out

gathered on the street as the turtle

after him.

boy expired painlessly of an over
dose of carbon monoxide Today
he is immortalized in beeswax in
the Buffalo Museum of Science.
Top Billing
AT PRESENT George Marchand is
working on an undersea reStora-
ton for the Rochester Museum,
making his wax and celluloid mod
els from prehistoric fossils.
Top billing will go to a mon
strosity of the eurypterida class,
known familiarly as Pterygotus
Buffaloensis. This fellow, who
George says is the great, great
granddaddy of the horseshoe crab,
is nine feet long with pincers large
enough to take your head off.
The Marchand brothers come
honestly by their craftsmanship,
being sons of a French sculptor,
Henri Marchand, who came to
this country in 1902 When they
we're boys. Poppa Henri started
making wax mushrooms for the
New York State Museum at
Albany. They watched him
work, capturing not only his
art but also it's infinite pOssi-
bilities. Poppa Henri made mush-
rooms, but the boys soon made So
varieties of mushrooms!
Their work has taken them from
the coral reefs of Bermuda to the
rough waters of Buzzards Bay.
They have donned diving helmets
and gone to the ocean floor for
brain coral, sea rods, and slippery
Dicks. But the things they love
best - wild flowers - they have
found in their own back yards.
Handmade Homes
GEORGE, 43, a bachelor, and Paul,
AZ, father of two girls, have built
their own homes - by hand - in
rural Ebenezer and pride them
selves on the rich carpet of wild
flowers that spreads over their 33
acres. They can find nearly any
specimen they need in a tramp
through their own woodlands.
