Soviet Planes Dropping Live Bombs In Area BRITISH PILOTS TELL OF SEEING RUSSIAN BOMBINGS Berlin, Oct. 7 fliers engaged in the Berlin airlift said today they had seen Russian planes drop live bombs in the Soviet occupation zone about 12 miles northwest of Berlin. There is a possibility the reported incident might have been part ot large-scale Russian air war maneuvers announced for today over the Soviet zone, Berlin and Allied air corridors, including bomber flights. U.

S. representatives at the four- power Berlin air safety center said the air activity announced by the Russians appeared to be the largest since the U. S. and Britain began using the air corridors to supply Soviet-blockaded Berlin. The Russians warned the western powers they plan extensive gunnery drills and parachute jumping, as well as flying drills in the air corridors.

Chicago, Oct. 7 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 sudden outpouring of hogs from the country. The oft- mentioned but never very apparent was pooh-poohed in some quarters as a cause for the decline. And it was in pork, much more than in beef or lamb, that butchers were posting the lower figures.

While retail outlets were cutting prices, the hog steady slump came to at least a temporary halt. Prices firmed a bit at most markets yesterday. However, wholesale pork quotations continued to ease at Chicago. Today, however, the Chicago hog market bounced a full dollar a hundred pounds higher at Chicago union stockyards. This followed climb of 25 to 75 cents and recovered a good share of the $4.00 to $5.00 which hog value had lost recently.

The top price on good and choice hogs today at $25.50 compared with some late sales at comparable weights Tuesday around $23.50. Fresh supplies from the country were deeply reduced last night. Traders got only 4,000 head where they expected 6,000. This was given as a principal reason for the sharp price rise. Agriculture Department officials.

packing house sources and representatives of farmer organizations gave these opinions of the hog-pork price breaks: 1. It's a seasonal matter, but came a little earlier than usual this year. An Agriculture Department official at Chicago said farmers knew the drop was coming, as it usually does in November, and had marketed spring pigs the past few week in an effort to the 2.

Elliott said there was none speak But an Agriculture Department official at Indianapolis said the housewife had heard so much about bumper crops lowering prices that she was reducing her buying.

CARPENTER Paris, Oct. 7 six so- called netural nations on the security coundl are expected to present a resolution next week calling upon Russia to lift her blockade of Berlin, informed sources said today. Only the Soviet Ukraine backs Russia In the Berlin dispute. Syria Colombia. Argentina, China, Belgium and Canada are reported solidly behind the big three Western charge that the blockade menaces world peace.

In the powerful United Nations political committee, meanwhile, Russia began debate on her disarmament resolution with a charge that the Western powers blocked arms limitations for 20 years. Russia demanded that Britain, France and the United States Join her In immediate one-third cuts of their armies. Soviet Delegate Andrei A. VI- shinsky told the committee Western considerations of "security first" had brought all disarmament conferences to naught. Russia has proiKised one-third reduction of armed forces within a year and a ban on atomic weapons.

So far as is known, none of the "neutral" nations of the security council has approached Russia directly for her position on the Berlin dispute. It is believed the six nations are planning their next moves with the expectation that Russia will veto any action the security council may take against her. Observers say the three big Western jiowers who brought the charge against Russia last week, would prefer that one of the six smaller nations offer the resolution calling on Russia to lift the blockade. The United States is said authoritatively to have decided to let the small countries or China carry Britain, France and the United the ball in the next council moves. States charge that Russia's blockade of Berlin menaces world peace.
