                 Hope Wanes
                 for Survivors
                 of Lake Ship
                 
           CHARLEVOIX, Mich., Nov. 20.
          (AP) - Hope of finding more sur-
          vivors of the sunker Carl D.
          Bradley was all but gone today
          at headquarters of the Charle-
          voix coast guard group.
            Meanwhile, mass funeral serv-
          ices and an official day of mourn-
          ing were announced at Rogers City.
          The little northeastern Michigan
          town of 3875 persons was home port
          for the huge cargo vessel and home
          for 31 of its 35 crewmen.
            Apparently only two men, Frank
          Mays and Elmer Fleming, both of
          Rogers City, survived mountainous,
          storm lashed Lake Michigan waves
          which broke the ship in two Tuesday
          night.
            The Bradley vanished about 45
          miles west of Charlevoix in 330
          feet of water.
            Eighteen bodies have been re-
          covered.
            A total of 150 persons, includ-
          ing state police and volunteers,
          joined coast guard foot patrols of
          tiny islands in the vicinity of the
          sinking to hunt for more bodies,
          possible survivors and equipment
          from the Bradley.
            They support the cutters Sundew
          and Hollyhock, three helicopters
          and an amphibian and two state
          police aircraft combing the Bradley's
          watery grave area
