Causes Sensation in Capital
By A. 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.

s Security Risk
be cleared as , "good, security
risks"; in order to keep ; or ol
tain their jobs. ' - . '
' 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; ;. Department,
then cleared and hired by Har
old ...Stassen's V Foreign 4 Opera
tions ' Administration. - & .'; .-
Cain said:-. '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:

Program
last April, in which the former

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

or unappealing, v is dealt with

It is horribly; dangerous. Should

authorities the human brain is

any part of the head causes the
brain to bounce backward . and
forward and bang against .the

boxers are seriously injured be
