GLENDALE MAY GET
 BIC MANUF FACTORY

1 GLENDALE. March 26.-Should the
 report of Edgar Barrueh and F. NJ.
 Erskine, representatives of a coterie Of California capitalists, prove the 1 feasibility Of utilizing the former Glendale sugar factory for the pur- poses they have in view, Glendale may soon become the home of the largest dehydration plant in the west outside
 of Oregon, where the King plant is To- cated.
 Barruch and Erskine, after careful survey of the sugar factory. one of the largest factory buildings in the state, returned to the coast to make a report to their princirais. Upon their report will depend any future activi- 1 ties of the capitalists interested. While declining to talk for publi-
 cation, both Edrruch and Erskine were willing to admit that the factory build ing could conveniently be transformed into a dehydrating plant. the big prob lem, however, being whether not
 the truck growers of the Glendale dis trict could 5e induced to cultivate suf- ficient acreage to justify the estab-
 lishment of the plant. With the entire
 valley undergoing a cotton craze the
 iI1yeStig ators were somewhat dubious as to whether not sufficient raw materials could be obtained to make the plant success were the proper machinery installed.
 Both men were convinced, by their investigations that the Glendale dis trict offers ideal conditions for the growing of garden truck, the one
 question was whether not these natural resources would be utilized in sufficient volume to give the pro- posed factory enough vegetables for dehydration to make it worth while to establish such plant.
 No details were given out as to the financial interests back Of the move ment except that sufficient capital was ay ailable to assure the enterprise be- inE carried to successful conclusion once undertaken, but it is believed that following this preliminary investiga-- tion should the outlook for vege- ab1es not prove the stumbling block, there is excellent opportunity for Glen 6a1e to acquire a dehydration plant that will prove one of the biggest in dustria1 advents of recent times in the valley.

MARTENS HEARING
 IS FINALLY ENDED
Announcement of Decision By Secretary of Labor In Few
 Days Expected
RN Assncinfed Press

Washington, December 7.-Hearings n the deportation warrant against Ludwig c. A. K. Martens, Russian soviet rep resentative in the United States, finally were concluded today with the presenta- tion of oral and written arguments be- fore Secretary Wilson.
 The labor department head took the lease under advisement and is expected to announce his decision within few days.
 The warrant against MarteDs was is sued last January after the department of justice had conducted the so-called radical raids" but at that time Mar tens was under examination before a Senate committee Investigating bolshe- vik propaganda in the United States and it was not served until later. Hearings on the warrant were held both in Wash ington and New York with many pest ponementS.
 During the proceedings the controversy between the department of justice and the department of labor concerning the proceedings against radicals generally came to a head with the refusal of the department of labor to permit represeh- tatives of the department of justice to question Martens.
 The governments argument today was presented by J. E. Hoover ot the de' partment of justice, who in his argument contended that Martens was unlaw1uiy in the United States and that he had participated in the movement of the Rus sian communist party, the third interna- tionale, and the so-caled Russian social- ist federated republic for the overthro" of the government of the United States by force and violence.
 Counsel for Martens argued on the other hand that Martens, as the "diplo- matic representative" of a foreign gov ernment, was lawfully in the United States; that he had not participated III any movement against the government ard, that the government had falied to show that he believed in the overthrow of all government by/force, or that ne had been affiliated with any organiza- tions which advocated such overthrow.
