In Opposing Berlin Blockade
PARIS, Oct. 7.—(AP)—Six members of the United

were reported today solidly in favor of raising the Soviet

An authoritative source said that this was the first re

charged that the Berlin blockade threatens world peace.

BLAST SOUNDED LIKE THUNDERCLAP
Survivers Tells Of Escape
From Exploding Superfort
WAYCROSS, Ga., Oct, 7 —
(AP)—Two fires in one engine
and failure of another preceded
a “thunder’ clap” blast that rip
ped apart a B-29 superfortress
bomber over Waycrosp Ga.,
with the loss of nine lives, sur
vivors said today. - -
The giant four-engine craft
explodéd yesterday at an alti
tude of nearly 20,000 feet. Frag
ments of bodies and plane were
scattered over 20 acres of the
farm of Robert Zachry, jr.
Eyewitnesses said ‘“the whole
town” heard a roar “like a ter
rific thunder clap” and stood
frozen as bodies and plane parts
hurtled downward.

SERVING ATHENS AND NORTHEAST CEORGIA OVER A CENTURY
Thus far, the source said, no
resolution has been prepared,
but the six “neutral” members
feel the first requirement in
easing the crisis is for the Rus
sians ‘o lift the blockade.
The neutrals on the council
are China, Syria, Belgium, Co
lombia, Argentina and Canada.
The Soviet Ukrane is siding with
Russia against hearing the case
in the Security Council.
A British source said last night
representatives of the three
Western Powers met informally
and considered the first steps of
framing a proposal that the Se-‘
cuity Council call on Russia to
lift the blockade.
1t was said today that no reso-
Jution has been drawn up by any
delegate thus far. In fact, one |
source said, the United States |
feels it is too early to present{
the council with a resolution
demanding action. The Ameri- |
cans were said to feel they must
hear first from other council
members. And that the resolution '
shouid come from one of the
neutrals. l
The council is expected to
meet again Saturday or Monday
to continue the debate on Ber
lin.
The Security Council members
not involved in Berlin studied
the Western charges They had
no Russian counter-claims ‘o
study, however. Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister Andrei Y.
Vishinsky sat silently in the
council chamber yesterday, car
rying out his avowed intention
not to take part in the Berlin
discussion.
Lifting of the blockade is the
price the Western Powers will
accept for agreeing to a four
power foreign ministers’ council
ineeting on the Berlin and gen
eral German questions. The Rus
sians consistently have main
tained that the Berlin case is
one for the Big Four to discuss,
and not for the United Nations.

CHICAGO, Oct. 7.—(AP)—The drop in hog and meat
prices was getting down today to where it counts for
most people—at the retail butcher shop.
Many stores throughout the country slashed pork
prices for the coming week-end, a direct result of the sud
den outpouring of hoegs from the country. The oft-men
tioned but never vary apparent ‘‘consumer resistance”
was pooh-poohed in some quarters as a gause for the
decline.

West Protests Soviet Gun
Drills Over Air Corridor
BERLIN, Oct. 7.— (AP)-—British fliers engaged in the
Berlin airlift said today they had seen Russian planes
drop live bombs in the Soviet cccupation zone about 12
miles northwest of Berlin, : :
There is a possibility the reported incident might have
been part of large-scale Russian air war maneuvers an
nounced for today over the Soviet zone, Rerlin and Allied
air corridors, including bomber flights.
U. S. representatives at the
four-power Berlin Air Sefety
Center said the air activity an
nounced by the Russiens appear
ed to be the largest since the U.
S. and Britain began using the
air corridors to supply Soviet
blockaded Berlin.
The Russians warned the west
ern powers they plan extensive
gunnery drills and parachute
jumping, as well as flyving drills
ir. the a&ir corridors. 2
Capt. Vincent H. Gookin, U, S.
representative at the Air Safety
Center, said he had protested to
the Russiens on two counts —
flights by bombers over the Ber
lin zone and the gunnery drills.
He said the Soviet announce
ment of the bomber flights over
the city indicated thet formation
flying was contemplated. This
would be a violetion of four
power air rules, he said.
The contemplated gunnery
drill. Gookin said, drew a ver
bal U. S. protest on the ground
it was regarded as dengerous to
allied transpert planes.
