SEARCH GOES ON AT BRIDGE SITE 21 Bodies Recovered So Far; Divers Seek to Free Wrecked Can POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. (AP) Small boats continued to drag the Ohio River todaj downstream from the collapsed suspension bridge here while after divers attempted to free wrecked autos from the mangled steel and concrete 40 feet under water. The divers use torches to cul the sunken steel girders into workable lengths, which are then hauled up by 100-ton floating derricks.

Officials estimate it -may take several months to clear all debris from the river bottom. Searchers have recovered 21 bodies since the Silver Bridge collapsed Friday. It was loaded with bumper-to-bumper traffic at the time, and Civil Defense officials estimate there are at least 40 persons still missing. No bodies have been brought up since Tuesday morning. Emergency Shuttle An emergency shuttle service across the New York Central Railroad bridge 300 yards upstream of the collapsed bridge is continuing.

Officials hope this will ease some of the traffic on the Pomeroy, Ohio-Mason, W.Va. bridge 20 miles north oi here. Meanwhile in Washington Highway Administrator Lowel!
