Cain Apparently Had Reason To Predict Loss of Federal Job By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington Harry P. Cain, x -senator from Washington state, wasn't just talking last week when he virtually pre dicted Presi dent Elsen hower would soon let him out of hii job as a member of the Subversive Activities Con trol board. a. Kobt. smim Cain and his family are making all prep aration for relatively hard times both politically and economic ally. , The former lawmaker has no plan for returning to Washing ton state if his . prediction does come true and he' gets the axe when his term expires Aug. 9. In fact, the Cains soon will sell their property In Tacoma to help shore up their finances against whatever may lie ahead. Cain has been in trouble poli tically throughout much of his career in public life, but never to the pronounced degree that is currently the case. He was rock eted into high office in 1946, af ter serving as mayor of Tacoma, when he beat Sen. Hugh B. Mit chell (D-Wash.) and went to con gress in the Republican off-year landslide which elected the GOP-controlled 80th congress. Stormy Six Years I It was a stormy six year term for Cain, featured by a pinnacle of success in his fight to block the appointment by .President Truman of ex-Gov. Mon C. Wall- gren to the National Security Re sources board. But by the time he was seeking reelection his stock with his own party had dropped so low that he was tram pled in the 1952 Eisenhower landslide by a Democratic con gressman. Sen. Henry M. Jack son. Cain stayed on in Washington after ,his defeat and, although a member of the Taft wing of the party, received an appointment from Eisenhower in April, 1953, to the obscure board which is re sponsible for determining which organizations in the country are Communist-dominated. The fireworks began in Janu ary, 1955, when Cain lashed out in a speech at Spokane with the charge that the Eisenhower ad ministration's security program was "unnecessarily destroying individuals." He cited the case of Wolf Ladejinsky, the land re form expert cleared as a good se curity risk by the State departr ment, then branded a risk by the Agriculture department, then cleared and hired by the Foreign Operations administration. Worked for Improvements Since then Cain has crusaded for improvements in the security program, testifying before con gressional committees when they went into the problem, speaking to manv meetings around the country. But he has yet to get the private ear of the President to state his case for Harry Cain can't get through the front door of the White House. The reason is that the presi dent and. his advisors resent Cain's going to the public with his complaints instead of voicing them privately to them and stay ing mum about the whole mat ter publicly. Eisenhower has had only acid tones when questioned about Cain at his news conferen ces. Cain has been bawled out by Sherman Adams, assistant to'the President, for not playing on the "team." So Cain has good reason to think he is on the way out of the position which lends authority to his critical remarks. As a con sequence, Mrs. Cain has gone to work for a local interior decora tor and taken out a license to sell real estate. In addition to putting their Tacoma property on the market, the Cains have rented out their expensive custom-built home here and moved to a modest one-bedroom apart ment. Living with them is their 12-year-old daughter, Candy. Their 18-year-old son, Harry III, is a freshman at Stanford. Although in the doghouse to day with the middle-of-the-road Republican administration, Cain is as much the darling of liberal groups now as he was of conser vative groups a few years ago when he sided with Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy a transformation which has perplexed many per sons who don't know Harry Cain. His wife explains it like this: "He would always be the one who would catch a pendulum that had swung too far to the left or the right. He is a true ad vocate of moderation, which brings the pendulum back to equanimity. "Just as the country should al ways be grateful to Joe McCar thy for having alerted us to the Communist menace," said Mrs. Cain, "I think it is generally agreed that Harry is the one who is helping to bring that pendu lum back to normal." Believes Box Car Rent Is Too Low Seattle, Wash. QJ.R) Rob ert S. Macfarlane, president of the Northern Pacific Railway, believes too cheap rent on freight cars is a major cause of a short age of same. "The S2.40 per diem rentals one railroad must pay another on freight cars should be in creased," Macfarlane said. "This low rent, in the long run, is costing all railroads money be cause cars are not used at their maximum efficiency and conse quently there are not cars enough to fill 'the shipper's needs." The railroad executive said it cost about $8,000 to build one freight car, but it was cheaper to rent them than to build them.

Tomako Nakabayashi, 26. died six hours after the plastic sur gery at Mt. Sinai Hospital. It was her third operation to re move the scars of World War II. She was one of 25 Japanese girls who came to the United States to hope again for the beauty they lost during the his toric leveling of Hiroshima on Japan's inland sea. Some were so hideously dis figured they lived the lives of recluses in the picturesque city that rose again from the rubble. "It seems impossible to re cover the beauty that nature gave to us, but we live in hope," one of the girls said at a shy, giggling reception upon their arrival one year ago. Named the "Hiroshima Maid ens" by a sympathetic public, they were warmly received ev erywhere and taken in to Ameri can homes to live while they awaited their turns at the hos pital's overerowded operating room. Nine of the girls, the surgery on their faces and necks com pleted, were to soon return to Japan. Miss Nakabayashi was one of the 16 girls remaining to re ceive some 30 operations from the skilled, American surgeons who denated ' their expensive ser ices.
