Gypsum Corp. case. That company, headed by Sewell Avery, who defied the board for a long time in the Montgomery Ward case, has refused to comply with a WLB order direct ing inclusion of a maintenance of membership clause in a union contract. The provision for withholding of union dues recalled Mr. Roosevelt's

BUFFALO, Aug. 18. (U. P).— Rescue of persons trapped in burning skyscrapers through use of helicopters was visualized in an address before the first annual convention of the New York State Firemen’s association here yesterday. Warren 'Y. Kimball, of Boston, editor of the Volunteer Fireman, pictured to the delegates a fire department helicopter hovering at the level of the windows on the floor where the occupants were stranded. “A gang plank, or whatever aerial equivalent will be in use, can be run out and the people transferred to the helicopter,” he said.

American flying fortresses used the shuttle method of bombing the Reich yesterday when they flew from Britain to Africa, blasting war plants at Schweinfurt, 65- miles east of Frankfurt, and Regensburg, 55 miles southeast of Nurnberg, on the trip. The American raid was. costly-— 36 bombers were lost, the largest number in any American mission to date—but the results justified the losses.

The axis radio spread reports that allied fleets were massing in the western Mediterranean for a new assault, probably aimed .at Italy. Military experts in London believed the allies might try to get in a quick knockout punch against faltering Italy. The battle of Italy was opened by American and British planes sweeping up and down the southern end of the peninsula. In Eastern Europe, the Russian army was making gains toward Bryansk and in the Spas Demensk sectors, but ran into determined opposition from German infantry and tanks around Kharkov, which remained in axis hands despite days of fighting in its suburbs.
