Defendant seeks new Slander charges dismissed KITA-AIKIMURA, Japan (AP) -Search and rescue teams found four survivors and recovered the bodies of 50 people from the wreckage of a Japan Air Lines jumbo jet that crashed on a wooded mountain ridge with 524 people aboard, officials said today. The crash of the Boeing 747 on Monday was believed to be the worst single-plane commercial air disaster ever. Airline officials said that among the passengers were six Americans. The aircraft's pilot reported a broken cabin door and that he was losing control as the jetliner turned north from its normal course and crashed in Japan's rugged central mountains. One of the survivors of Flight 123, a 12-year-old girl, was reported found in the branches of a tree.

One woman was pulled from the crushed fuselage of the aircraft. Airline spokesman Geoffrey Tudor told NBC's "Today" that the survivors were seated "fairly close to the- tail. jHow they survived is a miracle." The helicopter-borne rescue teams suspended the search for the night and reported no sign of other survivors. Shinji Watari, general manager of JAL's public relations, told a news conference the cause of the crash remained a mystery. Koichi spokesman of the Japanese Defense Agency, said a ship spotted what appeared to be part of a vertical tail fin bearing a portion of JAL's red crane symbol.

He said the object was seen in the sea off the Miura Peninsula, south of Yokohama. No explanation was offered, but the 747 was headed out to sea on its normal route from Tokyo to Osaka before going off course. The 747-100SR can seat up to 550 people and has heavier landing gear and strengthened wings that the ordinary -747, according to Boeing. Jal's Tudor said ho when asked if the size of the plane or Its makeup could have limited the pilot's control once something went wrong.

In another new development in Circuit Court, District Attorney Denis R. Vogel's motion for dismissal of a criminal slander of title charge against Leon L. Nielsen, 6703 Gass Lake Road, was granted by Judge Fred H. Hazlewood. Nielsen gave information about the purpose of a group of people in filing declarations of land patents.

He also talked about his knowledge of a group sometimes described as the Posse Comitatus, and their activity in Manitowoc County. Nielsen was sentenced April 8, by Deehr, after a jury found him guilty of three counts of failing to file Wisconsin state income tax returns. He was ordered to serve three consecutive MANITOWOC Arraignment of Steven A.

Tudor said the information was passed on to police, but added: "There's some feeling it may have been a hoax." Airline spokesmen, U.S. Embassy of-ficials and relatives said the Americans included two Colorado men, a 26-year-old graduate student from the Los Angeles area and three members of a Korean-American family. Two women and two girts were known to have survived the crash. All were taken by military helicopter to a hospital in Fujioka, 25 miles east of the crash site, said hospital official Kyomi Shinozaki.

Nelson has told Vogt and other county board chairmen that the $100,000 received by the association was set up as a one-time grant, and was never meant to continue Vogt said this morning it was known at the time that the money was for a given period of time, "but we were never told that the monies were not renewable. "Whether they want to say that or not, the fact still remains that JTPA has this as an allowable cost that they'll fund," said Vogt, Manitowoc County Board chairman. "It's still a discretionary item for the DILHR office and the governor and it's that discretion we are appealing to." The money was intended to help set up the Private Industry Councils, comprising businessmen and local officials who administer more than three-fourths of the money the federal government funnels into the job training effort.

Helene Nelson, deputy secretary of the Department of Industry Labor and Human Relations, says the association represents the interests of county governments on such issues as transportation and welfare without any grants from the state, and it should be able to do the same in job training.
