(State Journal Photo) Ship Crash DeathToll Set at 10 Hope for Missing 7 Fades; 25 Rescued From Frigid Water MACKINAW CITY (UPI) Fog today shrouded the watery grave of the sunken Great Lakes freighter Cedarville and hampered efforts to find seven men lost when their ship went down in a collision with the Norwegian merchantman Topdalsfjord. The seven were presumed to have drowned when the Cedarville sank 21 minutes after colliding with the Topdalsfjord in dense fog at the Straits of Mackinac Friday. Three other men were known dead and their bodies recovered putting, the apparent death toll at 10. 25 RESCUED Twenty five crewmen were rescued from the frigid water two miles east of the Mackinac Bridge. The Coast Guard icebreaker Mackinaw and cutters Sundew and Naugatuck stood by to resume the search for the missing men when the fog, which covered the area for the second night in a row, lifted later today.

Meanwhile, the Coast Guard began an investigation of the disaster which happened in broad daylight but in a fog so heavy that crewmen on the Cedarville did not see the Topdalsfjord until moments before it struck. THROWN INTO WATER Most of the crewmen were thrown into the water when the Cedarville rolled over on her side and sank in 104 feet of water. They were rescued by a passing German freighter, the Weissenburg. The survivors, four of them suffering minor injuries, were treated by a doctor who was aboard the Weissenburg. They were transferred to the Mackinaw and brought to a hospital at Cheboygan.

Romney and legislators reached agreement Friday on a workmen's compensation bill which will phase in new and higher benefits over a two-year period, The compromise came after four days of intensive negotiations and only four days before Romney was expected to veto the Democratic-approved plan waiting on his desk. The bill will now be recalled for final legislative action next week. Romney feared the Demo crats' benefit scale, if immediately enacted, would scare industry from expanding in or entering Michigan.

That scale of weekly pay ments to injured workers, rang ing from $64 to $93 per week, now will not take effect until September 1967. The present $33-557 scale will be upped to this Septem ber 1 and to September 1966. Romney, House Speaker Jo seph Kowalski and Senate Majority Leader Raymond Dzend-zel said in a joint statement that the bill "will make Mich igan's (Compensation) act one of the best, if not the best, in the nation. EARLIER EFFECT Democrats said Republicans' agreement will put the bill into effect as much as seven months earlier than otherwise would have been the case. Sen.

Sander Levin, D-Berkley, chairman of the Senate Labor Committee, said that over the next three years, the average benefit under the compromise plan would be about the same as under the original Democratic bill since the compro mise plan will take effect sooner.

Lietzow said he went on deck and before he could get over the side and into a life raft, the Cedarville tilted. He said he fell between the ship and the life boat and into the water. When he came to the surface he was near a life raft and got aboard. Two other men already were on the raft. "AH of a sudden she (the Cedarville) just went, he said.
