NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-For more
than 100 years, the family of
August Wooster has pursued the
same craft without rebellion in
the rahks-until now.
Since 1842, the Woosters of
Holland and New York had de-
voted all their talents to making
tiny, highly detailed f1gurines of
soldiers and historic personalities.
1t was an art perfected not only
by the men of the house. Wives
and children pitched in. too.
That's the way it went for four
generations. but the fifth genera
ton is kicking up a fuss.
The Woosters work in a small
East Side shop, where they have
more than l million miniatures,
none more than three inches high,
made of white metal or carved out
of wood. There on the shelves
are fighting men of the legions of
Alexander the Great, Napoleon's
Fusiliers and Grants Blues. Also,
in realistic detail, there are minia-
ture 1ikenesses of the great names
of history-from David to Dwight
Eisenhower.
He Will Stay, Father Says.
Mr.. Wooster and his older son,
Earl, who is 20, made the molds.
Mrs. Wooster, sculptor, makes
the master figure. A second son,
Give, who is IT, is the painter
He colors the tiny statues with a
brush thin enough to thread q
needle.
"Clive," said his father. "is the
first good painter we ever had in
the family. Before that we had
to marry women who could paint
or hire artists. Give is natural
he has rare talent. But what
does he want to do?
HE wants to be fighter. He
wants to box. He wants to ruin
those valuable hands"
II just ike to fight," said Give.

fights, but I never been in the

Wooster. 1--WE Dutch are funny
We got lot of pride. We build
up a business, we keep it going
We don't tell a boy who he has to
marry, but if there Is a great craft
in the family. there's no argument
about what to do. He will paint

simo with proof of corruption in
the Chang regime. an attorney
for the air force men charged in

a special custodian to take over
the records of the Office at 2110
Leroy place NV.

Judge Kirkland granted both
orders at the request of the Chi
nese Nationalist government
which has demanded an account
ing by the officers Of all the
funds.
Attorney William A. Roberts,
counsel for the officers. told the
court that Gen. Now. before his
removal as air force procure
ment chief here. went to Formosa
at the suggestion of Chang and
confronted Chang with proof of
attempts at corruption" The at
torney said that Gen. Nov, "be-
cause he refused to dissipate funds
to private persons" became sub
ject to threats, and finally on
August 81, 1851, received notice
ordering him and Col. Hsiang to
return to China and ordering
abolishment of the air force Office.

contend that Chang has usurp-
ed the post as head of the Chinese
government and that the United
States recognizes as presidinet. Ii
Tsung- -jen, who was vice president
under Chang and who succeeded
Chang when the latter announced
his retirement in 1949.
Chang later reassumed the post
of head of the Chinese Nationalist
government, but Mr.. Roberts and
