 Probe of Every Part of Liner

New York, August 29. - CUP) - The German liner Bremen, held at its pier for an almost unprecedented search by government agents, was boarded today by immigration offl- cials who rounded up 17 passengers and took them to Ellis Island in taxicabs.
 There was no immediate explana- ton for seizure of the passengers. Officials would not say whether they were incoming passengers whose credentials had not been approved. During the night several men boarded the ship, but it could not be determined whether these were the ones taken to Ellis Island.
 AS immigration officials took off tn passengers crew of Customs Department men went aboard the Bremen and searched her holds and bunkers. Police closely guarded the North German Lloyd Line pier and armed Coast Guard and police boats lay in the stream near the giant liner.
 She had been hurriedly loaded with fuel and stores and was to have slipped away before 3 a. m, nine hours after arrival, but when a representative of the North German Lloyd Line went to the Customs House for clearance papers, usually granted in a routine procedure, he was told that they would be delayed.
 It Nas necessary, customs offi- cials said. for Gregory O'Keeefe, as- sistant collector to inspect the ship before she sailed. O'Keefe said he might make the inspection about

Rome, Aug. 29-(UP)-The Fas- ciSt press today urged Italians to take refuge in the countryside and the authoritative editor, Virginia Gayda, warned that the margin in which Italy can work for peace was quickly dwindling.
 As the international situation grows worse, Gayda said in Giornale d'Italia, Premier Benito Mussolini and Foreign Minister Count Gal eazzo Ciano are both hoping and working for peace.
 There still remains margin, but it is a very slim one, and it is in this margin that Italy is developing an active part and continuing to work for her ideals" he said.
 Proof of this is to be found in new and repeated messages of Il Duce coupled with the untiring ac- tivities of Count Ciano."

 The governor today was attending the 10th national encampment of the Veterans of Foreign Wars at Boston.
