Over 2 Years Ago to
Join Service

| TACOMA - After answering
here" to the city council roll
call Monday for the first time in
more than two and a half years.
col.-Mayor Harry P. Cain. who
had been on military leave since
May, 194S, signaled his Intentions
of attacking some of Tacoma's
outstanding problems following a
weeks study of what the city Is
doing and what 1t has been doing
III my absence" Some of these
problems he listed Among the
many important matters to come
before him, are the following.
which affect all the peoples:
Housing Is Problem
Housing and what will be the
ultimate disposal of that problem
created by the war. was another
subject in which he was vitality In
terested.
II understand that the time will
come when the city will have an
opportunity to decide whether
federal housing units win be con-
tinued in use or disposed Of" he
said.
Another problem is that of traf-
fic and overcrowding of parking
facilities which is causing mer-
chants and other business men
serious worry, he said.
He wants to know what is to be
the disposition of USo facilities
here when not needed for their
present use. He suggested the es-
adjustment of a well regulated
center for the boys and girls OF
the city in the Fawcett avenue
USO building when 1t is vacated.
The conduct and situation rela-
tive to minorities is another prob
lem he wishes to study, he said,
referring to the racial issue In
general. Tacoma's employment fu-
ture and many other questions
also will be gone over.
Relative to military problems,
he said he could see ahead the
military in large numbers at Fort
Lewis, McChord field and the
bases. These can be met princi-
pally through conversations be-
tween the groups involved, he
said.
Tacoma, again like other cities,
is not designed to expand and
contract like an accordion to meet
awkward problems of sudden
growth and recession of crowds.
he added.
"The weakness of my armor is
the lack of information. which
am seeking to procure"
