NOTE continued:
Hubbard has been described as being "hopelessly insane" by his wife in
suing for divorce and the "Washington Times Herald" of 4-24-51, in
mentioning this divorce proceeding, stated that "competent medical
advisors recommended that Hubbard be committed to a private sanitarium
for psychiatric observation and treatment of a mental ailment known as
paranoid schizophrenia." (105-55601-5)
