Subversive "...
Control Board
Member Bitter
Statesman, SaTcm.'Ore; Fri, May 18. Z&-($ec. II) 17
DENVER W - Harry P. Cain,
bitterly critical ot the Elsenhower
administration security program,
laid Thursday night he believes
he is on the way out from his
lovernment Job.
Cain, whose term on the Sub
versives Activities Control Board
expires in August, said:
"My usefulness to the President,
who appointed me to my present
pos' some years ago, is, I be
lieve, rapidly drawing to a close."
And, in what' sounded even more
like a burn-the-bridges farewell
Cain picked up the derisive Dem
ocratic nickname of "Numbers
Came" for Republican claims to
ridding the government of secur
ity risks.
Cain said President Eisenhower
Is "The Champ" to the American
people. But, Cain suggested, Ei
senhower should be wary of the
security number claims, since
"any champion can be made to
look like a chump if he leaves
himself open for a sucker punch."
Cain made his remarks in a
ipoeeh 'or the Colorado branch
of the American Civil Liberties
Union, meeting at Denver Univer
sity. Speaks Convictions
He said that from time to time
a man must speak his convic
tions, and:
"I am so moved to peak out
tonight, not for the first time but
perhaps, in my present capacity,
for about the last time."
Cain, 50 years old, was a Re
publican member of the U.S. Sen
ale from Washington from 1947
until 1953. As a senator he was
a vehement battler against what
he denounced as leftism. When he
was defeated for re-election in
1952 he was named to the $15,000-
a-year subversive board post and '
little was heard from him for
bout a year and a half.
Altacki Increase
Then in January 1955 he began
a series of attacks, increasing in
intensity, against the handling of .
the program that was set up to
keep security risks out of the gov-1
ernment. j
Thursday night, as he had In ;
a New York speech May 5, Cain f
charged that presidential advisers i
are keeping Eisenhower unin-1
formed or misinformed on what
Cain called the great damage
done to individuals in the work- ,
ings of the security system. i
Specifically, he charged that the !
system is so unconcerned with in
dividual rights and civil liberties
that it lets accusations dangle for
months before disposing of them
by firings or clearances. j
Nobody Cares Much"
He said many innocent people '
re thus terminated needlessly, '
and nobody seems to care very
much. But, Cain said:
"Our peacetime internal secur
ity administration would be inef
fective and self-defeating in war
time. Citizens by the thousands
would simply disappear."
One wartime difference, he add
ed would be the use of concen
tration centers for those suspect
ed or charged with being security
risks.
Numbers' Yardstick
On the "numbers game" ques
tion, Cain said.
"In this month's issue of the i
official publication of the party to
which I belong, security risk num
bers are offered as being a re
liable standard or yardstick for
an achievement since 1953 . . .
"Party members like myself
are encouraged to commit the
numbers to heart and then em
ploy them on the street corners,
in speeches, in debates on radio
and TV' and over the backyard
fence.
1,700 Parks Gone j
"The numbers relate that 3.700 1
security Tisk,s have been sep
arated from the government and
that 6.000 additional employes
have resigned. "
Cain said many of the 9,700 did
not deserve the government's con-
fidence or employment, but many
others were only vaguely charged
nd were not provided with a rea- i
sonable chance to defend them-1
selves. I
'Suffer for Months' j
These others, he said were j
"left to suffer for agonizing
months before being told whether
they were found to be guilty or
Innocent."
"These numbers should be ,
marked POISON and employed
with the greatest cae. Anvone i
who employs the numbers with-1 A
subject to a large margin of error
is totally without knowledge or
ought to have his head examined."
Private Citizen' j
Here again, Cain said "I shall '
probably be just another private
Citizen several months from now." ;
But, he said he thought he had '
"more knowledge about the num
bers game than do most persons" ;
and will persist in declaring that
the bare number 9,700 "is the
most erroneous, dangerous and
misleading government statistic
ever made public." , i
Cain has previously told of be
ing bawled out by presidential
aide Sherman Adams for his at
tacks on the security program.
His prepared text Thursday night
did not mention Adams only
Brownell. He said:
Discusses Replacement
"Someone who has a facility for
getting through to those advisers
and through them to the Presi
dent can be appointed to take my
place in August.
"Perhaps such a person can
make the unpleasant facts of life
more digestible to those in higher
authority. I pray that some such
talented but aggressive and more
dipl.oma.tie person will replace
