ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondtnf - Washington -4; A Republican ex-senator ;. from the - Pacific Northwest, Harry P. ; Cain of Washington state, has caused a mild sensation in .the nation's capital by throwing out a direct challenge : to : President Eisen hower,: the. ' Republican party and the administration of which Cain is a part--a challenge to bring about basic reforms in the administration's -employee se curity risk systet Cain' charged in a speech' the other night which -'drew front page headlines in ..the Washing ton, D.C.' : newspapers, ' that changes must, be made in the methods employed by the Eisen hower administration to detect security risks without "unneces sarily destroying individuals' at the same time. .. ' - :; 7 'A whole clique of spies could hardly do as inuch'damage to us as could our failure as a ' gov ernment to have confidence in our people,'. Cain declared, cit ing three cases in which he said the system has "failed complete ly" r . Since shortly after leaving of fice in 1953, after being defeated by Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D- Wash.), Cain has been a member of the Subversives I Activities Control Board,, which assists the U.S. attorney general in deter mining which' groups and organ izations in this -country should be regarded as CommutiistKiom inated and so labeled ' publicly.

' ' Cain said he thought the sys tem had "worked well and fairly on, the average but that conspic uous and inexcusable ' examples to the contrary have occurred much too often." , , Detailing the recent case of Wolf ; Ladejinsky, the land re form expert who was first clear ed by-the r State Department; Jhen branded, a security "risk by fte Agriculture; ;.

'The' Ladejinsky case- points, up practically every weakness which we can JHnd or trace- in our prevailing security system. It includes evidence' of the r short-sightedness,, ruthless; ness, smugness and, bjutality.of bureaucracy at its worst" Ctomingfrom Cain, the attack caused'-a' sensation-not because, it was-new out because not only is he an official of the GOP ad ministration but as a senator he was one . of the small core of friends of Sen. Joseph R.-McCarthy (R-Wis.), whose repeti tious charges of alleged, subver sives in government led in large part, it is generally thought, to the exaggerated emphasis on dis missing; persons on the basis of hearsay evidence.. '- In essence,1-Cain's plea-was for a recognition of the vital need l to preserve the confidence of the people in their government. Re citing' the case of Milo Radulo--vich, . the air force , officer first branded a risk due 'to the acts of his sister and father, Cain noted that .Radulovich said when he was finally- cleared: "It's just like having your future, handed back to you.- I never expect-' ed it" "It's time we. begin to worry," added Cain, "when :a younff American, -age 26,expresse sur prise that . he. was dealt with justly by jhis government'. ; , Cam's analysis of the prob lem bore a1 resemblance to that: of Adlai Stevenson in an article appearing in Harper's magazine 1 i-y-irt u 1 KJJU WW pi- has been set as the completion date.

(Brainerd Photo) Program last April, in which the former Democratic presidential . - candi date warned of the need to pro tect the reputation of the gov ernment through a security pro gram that would deal out "jus ness" to all citizens. - "For greatness in a govern ment is not to be found in money-honesty alone, in wisdom and vision .' ; or even unfailing expertness in. spy-catching . . : . There must be beyond all these a quality of '. . . justness the meeting of the popular expecta tion: that government is a pro tector of the basic equities, with a ' compassionate eye : and a strong arm to see that each in dividual, - no matter how weak or unappealing, v is dealt with fairly and justly," wrote Steven son words now echoed by.
