Bremen Held For Close Inspection
NEW YORK Aug 29 The German liner Bremen was held at her pier by the U S treasury department for a thorough inspection amid a policy of minute searches before issuance of clearance papers to ships tied to the European crisis.

The move followed a U S maritime commission notice cancelling calls of all American vessels to German and Polish ports. The Bremen and the Normandie arrived within hours of each other carrying thousands of passengers who cheered when news of the crisis eased. Captains refused to answer shore radio messages to avoid revealing positions at sea.
