Cost of Living Hovers
At July's Record High
Washington -fliPD- The cost
. of living, which, had been
rising gradually since Janu
ary, levelled off in August
and hovered at the record
high set in July, the Labor
Department reported today.
It said average prices were
unchanged for food, housing,
medical care and personal
care. Advances for transporta
tion, reading and recreation
were offset by lower average
prices for apparel.
As a result, the depart
ment's over - all consumer
price Index remained un
changed at 105.5 per cent of
1057-59 prices.
Robert J. Myers, deputy
commissioner of labor statis
tics, said the index probably
would rise a little next month
because of higher price tags
for food, gasoline and auto
mobiles.

One item which advanced
In price during August was
meats. Myers said, however,
that this did not reflect the
recent farmers "strike" in the
Midwest.
He said any increase be
cause of this factor would
show up in the September
figures but that "the farmers
strike seems to have had very
little continuing effect on the
price of meat."
Meat i rices rose nearly 2
per cent. Higher prices for
gasoline and used cars were
mainly responsible lor i
jump of six-tenths of 1 per
cent in transportation costs.
Myers said the increase in
gasoline prices marked the
end of price wars In some
areas.' Used ear prices rose
nearly 2 per cent.
Prescription Prices Drop
Medical care was unchang
ed for the first time since
1954. A decline of six-tenths
of 1 per cent In prescription
prices balanced small gains In
professional fees and hospital
room rates.
About 18,000 workers,
mostly In air space and chemi
cal plants, will receive a pen
ny an hour wage increase as
a result of previous increases
in the index.
After income tax and social
security deducations, the take
home pay for a factory work

eraged $84.87. This was about
65 cents below July but $2.20
higher than a year earlier.

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."

24-Month Warranty
Announced by GM
Detroit - IUPD - Some com'
petilors are expected to fol
low the lead of General Mo
tors in announcing a blanket
two-year, 24,000 - mile war
ranty on 1963 cars and trucks.
The new warranty an
nounced Monday night dou
bled the present guarantee of
12 months or 12,000 miles
standard on all cars except
the Lincoln-Continental.
Lincoln adopted a 24

so-called "12 12" warranty

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. ' j
