BRIDGE PROJECT REJECTED Statement By Ickes Did; Not Give Reason For Ac- tion Taken In Regards To Issue (ity Apnociated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. —Secretary Ickes, public works administrator, said today Key West’s $12,000,- 000 highway bridge project had been rejected by the Public Works Administra- tion. He did not give the rea- son for rejection, but said it ‘had been adversely re- ported on by both interested divisions of the Public Works Administration and Board of Revenue. EDITOR'S NOTE: It is possible that this may be the Rosenthal proposition as $12,000,000 was the amount which he sought in his ap-. tior-to™ ‘the - Public Works Administration. This view is taken due te tho fact that the application made by the Overseas Road and Toll Bridge District was for a lesser amount. FUNERAL RITES FOR ADMIRAL J.

LEGIONNAIRES TO AID IN SEARCH ST. PAUL, Jan. 19\— American Legionnaires were called upon today to.make an active search for Edward G. Bremer, 37, banker, held by kidnapers for a $200,- 000 ransom, and threatened with death. Spurred by the death threat made in a note left on the back porch of the home of Walter MaGee, wealthy contractor, and friend of the abducted president of. the St. Paul bank, the local le- gion outlined plans of a search by Minnesota mem- bers as well as by members of neighboring states. The plan was endorsed by Edward Carruth, of Har- rington, Kansas, national vice commander of the le- gion. Both Bremer and William Hamm, Jr., who paid $100,- 000 to kidnapers last June, are legionnaires. The kidnapers, who snatched their victim last Wednesday had made no effort up to this morning to | communicate with either the Bremers or their friends. The family was represent- ed as being ready to pay the full $200,000 ransom, Police have agreed to hold forces in abeyance on the request of the father of the abducted man because of the death threat if police |or newspapers were -noti | fied.
