rod222 , I found an obscure U.N. reference, United Nations Career Records Project at the Bodleian, a pdf available here page 7, reference 510. It names the organisation as the International Refugee Organisation. McBain was there from 1946 to 1947 then moved on to Austria and later worked for UNICEF. Daniel Skilful research there, Daniel. My goodness, what a palmares ! Mr. McBain.
Interesting adjunct..... "The Distaff side" Distaff... first used around 1000 AD Prior to the Industrial revolution, spinning was primarily women's work Romanian Distaffs (and spindles)
