Passengers on Left Side of Plane Buffeted Shannon. Ireland -lUMl-Th British Air Ministry an nounced tonight that in air search has bean abandoned for survivors of the Flying Yigtr airliner that ditched in the Atlantic Sunday night. Shannon, Ireland -IUPD- The Impact of ditching in the stormy Atlantic ripped a wing off the stricken Flying Tiger airliner and hurtled seats for ward in the cabin, it was dis closed today. First details of the moment of terror when the Super Con stellation made its midnight Atlantic landing 550 miles from Shannon Sunday night came from the Canadian air craft carrier Bonaventure which picked up the most seriously Injured survivors. ' The 9,040-ton Swiss freight er Celerina had aboard the re minder of the 48 who sur vived - the ditching of the plane carrying 78 U.S. Army men and members of their families. The bodies of 12 dead also have been recov ered, and the Bonaventure continued the search for the 16 persons still missing. "There is little hope that any more survivors will be found unless a raft is still afloat somewhere," an Air Force search and rescue op eration spokesman said at Prestwick, Scotland.' The carrier rendezvoused with the Celerina and took off the four most seriously in jured plane passengers and then radioed details of the ditching and the aftermath. A radio report said the im pact ripped off the port wing of the big aircraft with two precious liferafts of the six aboard and buffeted those sitting on the left side of the plane. One of the survivors, it said: 'Those on the port side were cut, bruised, had miss ing teeth and two have bro ken bones." It added that when the Ca nadians reached the Celerina, they found the survivors dazed and in a state of shock, some saying nothing, some seeing nothing. But all were warm and thankful. The message relayed some poignant tales of self-sacri fice and love. It told of an Air Force ma jor who held his wife's head above water on one of the liferafts, her. shoulder dislo cated. Both were covered with bruises and cuts, but they survived. There also was the case of the young German bride who, hand in hand with the Ameri can Army sergeant she had married only about a year ago, Jumped into the sea from the ditched plane. She was rescued. He is missing. The wife and two children of Sgt. Bernard P. Hoopii, on their way to join him in Ger many, disappeared into the black night and are still missing. James Correa, a senior ex ecutive of the Flying Tiger Airlines, continued to hope for a miracle despite the pessimism of the rescuers. "There is one liferaft which is still unaccounted for and they may be on it," he said. The plane took off from McGuire Air Force Base, N.J., Sunday en route to Frankfurt. But when three of its four engines failed. Capt. John D. Murray sat it down amidst rain and towering six foot waves. Aviation experts praised Murray's skill, and said It was a miracle anyone survived. j However, t h e "one-in-10-mlllion" failure of the three engines caused Civil Aeronau tics Board Investigators in Washington to consider check ing the possibility of fuel con tamination or trouble in the fuel system of the ill-fated plane. A Canadian joint staff an nouncement In London said all merchant ships that had taken part In the rescue operation now have left the scene. The Celerina is headed for Ant werp, where It is due Thurs day. Thf Bonaventure radioed that it is continuing the search, at least for the rest of tile day. It was accompanied by the British weather ship Juliet and the U. S. Coaat Guard vessel Owasco. "If any survivors are lo cated, she will continue the search during daylight Sept. 26." the Canadian announce ment said. "If the results to day are negative she will abandon the search al sunset." 5 -Cent Letters Seen Certainty After Vote by Senate Committee Washington (UPI A Senate committee has made it vir tually certain that it will cost a penny more to mail a letter next year.

Russia Postpones Income Tax Cuts Moscow -IUPII- The Soviet government sustained a prop aganda setback because of its decision to postpone promised Income tax cuts, Western ob servers said today. The Presidium of the Su preme Soviet announced Mon day night it was temporarily shelving the elimination of in come taxes it started In 1960. Oct. 1 was to have been a new stage in the program, which had been scheduled for completion by 1965. The new decision was made because of "important meas ures directed to the further growth of agriculture, indus try, considerable production of consumer goods, housing and the necessity of strength ening the defense might of the Soviet Union," the announce ment said. Chrysler set the stage last month for an Industry swing to longer guarantees when it announced a five-year, 50,000 mile warranty on power com ponents. Competitors, though, refused to go along. But the odds looked good that some of the competing firms - Ford, American- Mo tors and Studebaker - would follow the pattern set by GM. The firms had no official com ment, pending study of the GM policy. . ' Privately, however, one executive at another firm said, "we'll probably have to follow the big fellow." The new "24-24" GM war ranty, as did the "12 - 12" policy, provides a guarantee against defects in material and workmanship on the en tire vehicle, including all equipment and accessories manufactured or supplied by the GM divisions. The only exceptions are tires and tubes, trim and ap pearance items like uphol stery, and normal" replace ment parts such as spark plugs and oil filters.
