follows:
I'VE have been informed that Greg

Government Bureau, has been arrest
ed and held for deportation and that
similar action is threatened against
Mr.. Martens and other members OF
his staff as a last desperate effort to
prevent the truth about the Russian
situation and about the real foreign
policies Of the Russian Soviet govern
ment from being placed before the
people of America.
I'VE welcomed the opportunity and

hysterical lies which are being spread

Russian Soviet Bureau in New York.

As Port at Which

The Department of LAbor's an
nouncement that the Soviet lark" Bu-
ford, carrying 2i9 deported radicals to
an unnamed European port, may have
to bring it's cargo OF undesirables
back to the United States. is anoth-

Siegel.- of New York, charged yester-
day.
"The expected return Of the ark. 4"
said Mr.. Siegel, tends to substanti-
ate what has been charged repeated
Iy in Congressional the Department
of Labor did not want to send dan
gerous and undesirable aliens out of
the country. and only got busy when
the House immigration Committee got
on the job.
1T seems to me that the Depart
ment of Labor should have .arrang-
ed through the State Department for
landing accommodations for the Bu-
ford before starting her. suggested
that the ship go by Libau Let's ter
ritory, whence the radicals could
have been sent through Let's terri
tory to Soviet Russia.
More than ene-half of the deport-
ed anens are from folano. There Is
no reason TO anticipate that Poland
will not permit them to be landed.
although It Is one OF the regrettable
features of the matter that at this
time, when Poland is struggling for
her existence, II should become neces-
sary to return to that country those
who are opposed to any form Of
government"
As a result of the recent raids by
the Department Of Justice agents, the
Bureau of Immigration today asked
Congress for an additional appropria-
tion of 81 10000 for the enforcement
of the alien anarchist law. This sum
is desired for the purpose OF deport-
ing the Reds apprehended in the raids
already made and those contemplated
in the future.
Each deportation costs $500, It is esti-
mated.
Mr., Siegel declared there is a grow
ing feeling in Congress that the De-

JUDGE RESCINDS.

Lexington. Ky. Jan. 6.-A decree
Of divorce granted to Mrs. Ora
Smith Iring by Judge Samuel B.
Kirby. in Louisville last week was
destroyed today by order of Judge
Kirby. who had not yet signed the
decree. The reason assigned by the
judge for this unusual procedure
was that the matrimonial history of
Mrs Iring, a famous Kentucky
beauty. "smacks of progressive
polandry."
The court. it was stated. had
learned that the divorce was the
third obtained by Mrs. Iring and
that she contemplated taking o. W.
Bonner. a New York millionaire, for
her fourth husband and that the
latte had already presented her
a $4,000 mansion on Long
8risa.
So Iring was divorced on No

LT- whom she had two children.
