Continued improvement in i'm
portant industries and the ability
Of the market to advance above
the December high level were the
principal factors affecting hte

Washington.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Precau-
tons beyond those of Wartimes have
been put into effect in the senate
wing of the United States Capitol
because of complaints of numerous
senator's that they are being trailed
by mysterious spies, it was learned
today.
A special squad Of plain-clothes
man has been organized by David
S. Barry, sergeant-at-arns Of the
senate. to police the galleries and
lobbies and an investigation has
been ordered by Republican Floor
Leader Watson.
The complaining senators believe
the shoppers may have a connection
with the recent charges made in the
senate against the prohibition en-
forcement personnel. There also
are reports that the spies are trying
to ascertain if senators personally
are living up to the prohibition law.
The side door of the senate wing
has been closed and locked so that
all those who enter must come
through a single main entrance
where a uniform policeman always
has been stationed. The senate's
own detectives follow any strangers
who enter.
Several weeks ago Senator Borah
rep, Idaho, who charged the pro-
hilton enforcement personnel was
bad from top to bottom" said he
believed his office was being
watched
Later Senator Wheeler Dem,
Mont). who joined Borah in his
charges. made a similar complaint.
Both offices are in the senate office
