            MEMORANDUM FOR:  Chief, Western Hemisphere Division
            SUBJECT       :  Salvatore Giancana -and Richard Cain
            REFERENCE     :  Chicago Tribune Articles of 28 and 31
                             December 193


                 1.  A routine name check was conducted on Salvatore
            Giancana with negative results.  A check was then made with
            the Office of Security to determine whether their records
            reflected that one Salvatore Giancana was ever employed by
            CIA as alleged in the referenced Chicago Tribune article of
            31 -Decemiber 1973. We were advised that any inquiries con-
            cerning this matter should be made to Mr. Breckinridge,
            Deputy Inspector General.  WH/COG touched base with Mr.
            Breckinridge who said that he had received a copy of the
            referenced article.

                 2.  We have developed the following information on
            Richard Cain, subject of the referenced 28 December 1973
            Chicago Tribune article.  Richard S. Cain was born in Chicago,
            Illinois in October 1931.  He dropped out of the first year
            of high school in 1947 and enlisted In the U. S. Army where
            he served until discharged in 1950.  Following his army service
            he was associated with investigative enterprises in Miami and
            Chicago.  In 1956 he entered the Chicago Police Department
            (Vice Squad) where he remained until 1960.  Concurrent with
            that employment he operated the Accurate Laboratories, a private
            investigative business.  Listed below is a chronology of CIA
            contacts with Cain:
                        A.  Fall of 1960 - Cain initiated contact
                        with the DCD Chicago Field Office and vol-
                        untarily provided information on the activ-
                        ities of Cuban exile groups in the Chicago
                        area.
