T-Men' Watch For
Alien Enemies
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM

&SA4uS6 1OESASn C0p1O1dSS dCLAN4GASS
In the United States and its pos
sessions. the Treasury today
modified thousands Of its enforce.
ment agents to assist in ferretting
out spies.
A formal order issued by

tives of the various detective units
under his supervision to keep a
sharp watch for evidence Of spy
operations.
Entire Personnel

entire inyestigattye personnel OF
the Internal Revenue Bureau, In
cluding operatives Of the alcohol
tax unit and the bureau's intel
ligence service. The bureau main
tains many field offices and Of
1icials In charge Of these field
units will direct any espionage
investigations IN fllelr regions.
Elmer 1res slalt ss the Bureaus
intelligence u8d las been named
Coordinatcr Of the spy investiga'
tive work. All evidence Of espion-
age activities that may be un-
covered will be transmitted to
other interested Government de-
partments by Trey.
It Is expected that other Treas
ury police units, including the
Secret Service, the Coast Guard,
the Customs Bureau and the Bu-
reau of Narcotics, also will be en-
listed in the anti-spy drive.
President to Campaign
Mobilization of the Treasury
agents Is part Of general counter
espionage campaign now being
studied by President Roosevelt.
The President recently announced
that every resource at the COM
mand Of the Federal Government
will be thrown into the drive
against the undercover activities
Of foreign powers.
During the World War. the
Treasury was active in counter
espionage work. The Secret SerV-
ice, in particular. exposed a num-
ber Of sensational spy plots dur"
ing this period.
The Coast Guard at present has
o miniature spy laboratory
manned by experts In cryptogra'
ply. In recent years, these facili'
ties have been used principally in
tracking narcotics and liquor
GmugglerS.
Supplemental DriOe
Treasury officials explained
that the counter espionage work
by their agents simply is designed
to supplement the operations OF
other Government agencies.
The Justice Department, which
Is charged under the law with
prosecuting spies in peacetime,
trains its agents in antispy work.
In addition, special investigative
units to combat spies are oper'
ated by the Army and Navy.

Asks Action to Hold States
Industry.

Newspaper editors throughout the
state, and others interested in public
improvements this week received a
small pamphlet issued by the Inter-
organization Committee for Economic
State Development entitled "The Re-
tention and Development of Minnesota
Industry"

and other interesting data, the booklet
presents in clear and concise form the
efforts which this state must make to
keep pace with it's neighbors in its in

forts being made by other states to
attract industry, and expresses the hope
that Minnesota in the near future will
recognize that it must take similar
steps or suffer even further loss of in
dustry and employment.

booklet should provide the citizens of
the state with plenty of food for thought
which can be transmitted into action at
the polls At any rate, this drive to
make citizens Minnesota conscious" is
a worthwhile one.
