[BLACKED OUT] that the Academy of Scientology, operated by L. Ron
Hubbard, offers several courses of instruction. About three hundred
people attended a convention held by this Academy in July. At the
convention Hubbard made several speeches and made "cracks about our
Government, enough to plant discontent in the minds of the people."
[BLACKED OUT] furnished this information to Bureau in confidence in view
of the possibility this outfit may be engaged in subversive activities.
There are many Bureau file references to Hubbard and Academy of
Scientology. Search slips are attached.
