Many of the leaders and members of the fed eration were rounded up in the re- cent raid conducted by the depart ment of justice and now are await ing deporta ton.
 Martens admitted that he had met on several occasions in conference or executive session with the federation and its leaders. He denied that the federation had any control over his actions as soviet ''ambassador', but admitted they had tried to control him. The witness said he tried to get resolution on the subject adopted by the federation's central committee and when he failed to do so, he withdrew.
 Questioned by Wade II. Ellis, counsel for the committee, Martens said he met with the federation be- cause he desired no opposition from the Russian masses in this country" He said the Russians had been "criti- cizing my actions bitterly in letters and speeches"
 Mir. Ellis established that the fed eration's Detroit convention last year had reaffirIned it's purpose ito establish the dictatorship of the proletatiat in the United States"
 If that meeting had been open, the police would have raided it?'' NIT. Ellis asked.
 "I suppose the police would have clubbed them away" Martens said, ''as they have other meetings of Rus sian citizens in the United States"
 Ellis put into the record the min utes of the Detroit convention and Martens translated a line or two of the Russian for the committee.
 Permit me to greet you, in the knowledge that eventually my work must play an important role in the organization of the conmunist1c party in America" Martens opening speech to the Detroit convention Of the federation began.
 Martens denied he had ever said this. adding that he had protested vigorously to the central committee when he saw the minutes.
