                                                     10 January 1974


            MEMORA.NDUM FOR:  Chief, Western Hemisphere Division
            SUBJECT       .Salvatore Giancana and Richard Cain

            REFERENCE         Chicago Tribune Articles of 28 and 31
                              December 1973.


                  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 -December 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.
