NOTE: Subject of radiogram from [BLACKED OUT] is probably L. Ron Hubbard,
on whom the Bureau has received numerous inquiries and complaints
concerning the Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation, Inc., the Hubbard
Association of Scientologist[?] International and the Academy of
Scientology, all organizations with which Hubbard has been connected.
In a divorce suit in 1951 his wife accused him of insanity and competent
medical advisors recommended he be committed to a sanitarium for
psychiatric observation and treatment of paranoid schizophrenia.
Previous correspondence in this matter handled Domestic Intelligence
Division. (Bufile 62-94080) File in 62-94080 "Scientology."
For L. Ron Hubbard's Navy war records, here is Ron the War Hero.
For further information on the Scientology organization's ideals and for copies of their once-secret documentation, here is Operation Clambake.
