Hubbard_ stated that he strongly feels the* Dianetic3
can be used to combat Communism* Homevcr, he'declir.ed to
elaborate on. how thi3 might be done* He stated that the

as early ~a$ 193d an official of Amtorg, while at the
Explorer's Club in New York contacted him to suggest that
he go to Russia and, develop Dianetics there-
in an apparent attempt to give credence to his
statements, Hubbard advised that he was recently psychoanalysed
in Chicago and,was found to be quite normal with the exception
of his recent marital difficulties. Hubbard made available
the two attached pamphlets concerning "Dianetics and Psycho-
analysis" and "Dianetics; A Brief Discussion" for the Bureau's

the above captioned subject, which might be of interest to the
Bureau and auxiliary off ices-
HUB8ARD, with his associates, recently established
national headquarters for the Hubbard Dianetic* Research Foundation
at 211 West Douglas, Wichita, Kansas* .
General gossip at Wichita has i t that the ios Angeles
branch of the B«bbard Bianeties fiesearch Foundation weat broke —
and the cost of operation in New Jersey necessitated establishing
headquarters of the organization in the Central Onited States* A
recent article appeared in the Wichita newspaper, indicating that
the Hubbard Dianetics Research Foundation ted filed paper* of
incorporation with the Secretary of State, fopeka, Kansas, naming

From the information available in this field divisionr •*,--
it does not appear that L. RON HUBBARD or the Hubbard Dianetics
Research Foundation are violating any Federal law over which the FBI
has investigative jurisdiction.. However, it is felt that numerous
inquiries will be received both at the Seat of Government and the
Kansas City Office, therefore, it is deeoed desirable to record the
above information. Idditional developments will be called to the
attention of the Bureau*

Dion«tics tsntt the Discovery of Fir*
Hubbard, you might gather from the fore-
going, has discovered the key to success and
demonstrated once again that Barnum under-
estimated the sucker birth rate.
But that, by Hubbard's own admission, is
probably the. least of his discoveries.
Unencumbered by the modesty that hog-
ties ordinary mortals, Hubbard starts Ms book
-THE BOOK, his followers call it-w«h the
calm assertion that "the creation of. dianetics
is a milestone for Man comparable to his dis-
covery of (ire and superior to ftis inventions
of the wheel and Rws a«h.M
A few lines beyond, one learns that, with
f .,netics, "the intelligent layman can success-
'» and invariably treat all psychosomatic
i w and inorganic aberrations."
Farther on, one discovers that these psy-
chosomatic ills, "uniformly cured by dianetic
therapy,'' include such varied maladies as eye
trouble, bursitis, ulcers, some heart difficul-
ties, migraine headaches and the common cold.
But you ain't heard nothing yet. For Hub-
bard's auditors (anyone with four dollars to
buy The Book and the stamina to read through
it can "audit" without further license) achieve
these miracles by the simple process of re-

f— Modesty Prevails
. the present time," Hub-
baru continues, "dianetics re-
search is scheduled to include
cancer and diabetes. There are
a number of reasons to suppose
that these may be engramic
in cause, particularly malignant
cancer."
At this point, an unsuspected
sense of caution overcomes the
new Messiah, and he hastily
points out that "this is not to be
taken as any kind of avowal of
a cancer cure,**
But then, once more over-
whelmed by Ibe •we»inspiii«f
nature of hit own discovery,
author Hubbard swings back
onto his familiar track and
asserts that "those diseases
w> ?h were catalogued above
(C •«. everything from eye
trv _ .e through tuberculosis,
accidents and bacterial infec-
tions) have been thoroughly
tested and have uniformly
yielded to dianetic therapy."
Most HI* Succumb
Nor has Hubbard'* new sci-
ence been content to deprive
the doctors of seven tenths of
their business. Dianetics lays
claim to the ability to remove
"aberrations" of an infinite
variety. Neuroses, of course, can
be cured, Hubbard assert*. So,
too, can sex deviations and
"every type of inoiganie men-
tal illness."
And that's just the beginning.

Hwbbard and his busy associ-

"Education, medicine, politics
and art and, i n d e e d , alt
branches of human thought, arc
clarified with dianetics," Hub-
bard claims.
"And even so." he sighs, "that
is not enough."
It may not be enough for
Hubbard. But it has outraged
scores of psychiatrists, biochem-
ists, psychologists, physicians
and just-plain-ordinavy scien-
tists, who look upon the as-
tounding claims and the grow-
ing commercial success of this
strange new phenomenon with
•we, fear and a deep disgust.
"CxO99«rtiltd Claims"
The''.American Psychological
Association, for example, has
denounced HubbarWs claims as
"not supported by empirical
evidence," and has called upon
its members "in the public in-
terest" to avoid using Hub-
bard's techniques except when
making "scientific investiga-
tions to test the validity of his
claims."
Or. Will Menninger, past
president of the American Psy-
chiatricAssociation and co-head
of the famous Menninger Clinic
of Topeka, Kans., goes even far-
ther in indicting dianetics: "it
can potentially do a great deal
of harm. It is obvious that the

DtANETICS continued
Scientists soy dianetics can
often do real harm
orclinalc OIK! v«ly
claims in Ins results."
Dr. Frederick J. Hacker, a Los
Angeles psychiatrist, adds: "II
it were not for sympathy (or
mental suffering of disturbed
people, the so-railed science of
dianeiics could be dismissed for
what it i s . . . a clever scheme to
dip into the pockets of the gul-
lible with impunity- The dia-
netic auditor is but another
name for the witch doctor, ex-
ploiting ,1 rent need with phony
methods."
Hubbard Recoil* Birth
The man who touched oil ail
this frenzy was born on a bhtst-
ery March morning in 1911 at
Tilclen. Mebr. Like most new-
born babies, L. Eon Hubbard
did not seem at the time to be
paying much attention to the
proceedings. But with the aid of
his new science, he has recently
recalled all the details of his
own birth and sent them to his
aunt, who, he says, agrees that
they check,most accurately.
In his youth Hubbard traipsed
around the world with his
lather, a lieutenant commander
in the Navy, and ultimately
wound up at the George Wash-
ington University Engineering
School. His biography in Who'*
Who in the East says that he got
his bachelor's degree in civil
engineering there in 1934. His
publishers, Hermitage House,
Inc., identify him as a mathe-
matician and theoretical philos-
opher. Hubbard himself finds
this somewhat embarrassing.
Naval Reserve lieutenant, tlub-
liar<l served on escort vessels
until he was sent to the Oak
Knoll Naval Hospital near Oak-
land, Calif., where he stayed for
the best part of a year, suffering,
he now recalls, from "ulcers,
conjunctivitis, deteriorating
eyesight, bin silis and something
wrong with i»y feet."
But his sufferings were not
entirely in vain. For.the hospi-
tal had an excellent medical
library, and Hubbard, with
dianetics boiling up within him,
wanted to avail himself of this
facility. ,,
"Doctor" in fn* library
The library, unfortunately,
was not lor patients but father
tor the use of staff medical offi-
cer*. But the young scientist got
around that easily enough. "I
fust had a friend in the Marines
refer to me as Doctor, loudly,
several times, within earshot of
the librarian. After that I had
free run of the joint."
By 1947, Hubbard, discharged
from the Navy and granted a
VA disability pension, had pret-
ty well unraveled the mysteries
of the engram and was ventur-
ing to "process" his friends, who
tirgpd him not to withhold this
great boon from suffering hu-
manity. There remained, how-
ever, the problem of choosing a
suitable scientific medium in
which to announce and expound
dianetics.
This problem was resolved
in May, 1950, when John W.
Campbell, Jr., convinced Hub-

He also deprecates the inac-
curacy of his Who's Who biog-
raphy, which lists him as "ex-
plorer since 1934." Actually, as
Hubbard now recalls the details,
he led the Caribbean Motion
Picture Expedition, conducting
a group of College students from
island to island. "It was a two-
bit expedition and a financial
bust,** he says, "and ! quit the
ship arP*Msrt© Rico i*> 1933,"
Hubbard really got going a
few ^«arx later,feo-wewer,when
he took to writing for the pulp
magazines. He moved Mo the
science-fiction field under such
six-shooter pseudonyms as Win-
chester Remington Colt. A dy-
namic (though not yet dianetie)
writer, he says he used to bat
out as many as 120,000 words
between Friday and Monday.
But alter a time, despite such
success, he just couldn't put his
heart toscience fiction any more.
For he had begun to fathom the
innermost regions of the mind,
and life took on a new meaning
and purpose.
The war interrupted the de-
velopment of dianetics. As a
-ifvci.tt time:;, within earshot of
the lilH,jiian. Afli-i that I h;n!

By 19-17, Hubbard, discharged
from the Navy ;md granted a

ty well utiravclt-d the mysl«v
t»i:s
of the cngrum and was venter-
ing to '"process" his friends, who
urged him no* to witnhntd this
great boon from suffering li»i-
roanity. Then; remained, IHIW-
ever, the problem of choosing a
suitable scientific medium in
which to announce and expound
dianetics.
This problem was resolved
in May, 1950, when Joltn W.
Campbcl), Jr., convinced Hub-
bard that Astounding Science
Fiction, which Campbell edits,
was the ideal medium. A month
after that, the definitive issue of
Dianetics, 452 pages for four
bucks, appeared between hard
covers under the imprimatur of
Hermitage House. It carried an
introduction by 3. A. Winter,
M.D., an appendix on The Phil-
osophic Method by Will Durant
{reprinted from The Story of
Philosophy, 1926), and two* other
appendixes -by Campbell and .
Donald H. Rogers.
Birth of o Best SttUr
Since then, history hasbeen in
the making. Although virtually
unadvertised, the volume has
been disappearing from book-
store shelves at an astounding
rate* Virtually boycotted by
book reviewers for many
months, and later panned by
them, it nonetheless climbed
onto the best-seller lists and has
remained at the top.
The Hubbard Dianetic Re-
search Foundation shortly was
set up as a nonprofit New Jersey
corporation, with Hubbard as
president, Arthur R. Ceppos (of
Hermitage House) as executive
vice president, John W. Camp-
bell, Jr. (of Astounding Science
fiction), as treasurer and Mrs.

Human Mind Divided
In The Book, Hobbard defines
and discusses two main parts of
the human mind. The "analyti-
cal mind" is what you think
with; it perceives, remembers
and reasons. Hobbard also calls
'I—^he "computational mind"
iffectionately.-the "egsus-
h«._,ei." By any name, how-
ever, it's a nice old plodder,
doing its best to be good. Bat
behind it U the "reactive mind,"
and that is the Seat of ail evil—
a sort of glorified tape recorder
that files and retains pain and
painful emotions as "engrams."
And these engraow, ttiH ac-
cording to the master, are im-
pressions - on cellular proto-
plasm itself, complete record-
ings down to the last accurate
detail of every perception pres-
ent in a momentof unconscious-
ness.
Engrains Will G«l You
It's your engrams/tnat will
get you if you don't watch oat.
r v causeaberrations,psycho-
ic diseases, neuroses and
psyenoses. Unless they are "re-
leased"-by dianelic therapy, of
course-you're • gone goose.
Worst of all. you just can't
help gathering up engrams. You
didn't even have to wait to be
born for the evil work to begin.
It started at the very instant of
conception, when you were just
a little freshly fertilized egg
nestling cowly in your mother's
womb.
Her., is lluhbard's own jazzed -
up description of what hap-
pened to you then:
'"Mama sneeics, baby gets
knocked 'unconscious.' Mania
runs lightly and blithely into a
table and baby gels its head
stoyed in. . . . Mama gets hys-
terical, baby gets <vn ongrnrn.
Papa hits Mania, baby gets an
eogram. Junior bounces on
Mama's lap, baby gets an en-
grain. And so it goes."
What happens to your en-
gtams? They wait tike potent
little demons unlit they arc
"keyed in" by some later event.
And then they bring on every
sortof mental, moral and physi-
cal ailment
Along »h« "Tim* Track"
But these aberrations can be
cured, says Hubbard, by track-
ing down the engrams and re-
leasing them. The process is
simplicity itself. You lie on a
couch. Your auditor will help
you fail intoa state of "reverie,"
usually by counting slowly.
Then he will take you back
along yam "time ttaek," a sort
of mental clothesline on which
haog$ all year #fty wssli of
e n g r a m s . '.••••. .
One by one, «f you go back
through the years In reverie,
.you r*Hv« <&e painful «Kperi-
ences engraved, as engrams,
upon yoiir unconscious reactive
mind. You may recall the shock
of operations, the phrases the
doctor used when he Had you
under anesthesia, even the
things that were said when, as
an innocent baby, your father
and mother argued above your
cradle. As you recall these
things, reading them off your
cellular tape, your engrams re-
lease their charge and lose their
power of evil.

serious, sincere people
Most important o( all is the
cngiam that Hublwid calls
'*basac-bnsic"-Uic «MC unpinged
upon your protoptnsmtc cells
aimuKt as soon as you were con*
cttvetl. Ail too often, according
to Hubbard, these prenatal en-
grams stem particularly from
abortion attempts on the part of
the mother.
Abortion Attacked
Unlike many religious groups,
the proponents, of dianetics
have nothing against birth con*
trot. But the greatest of all
crimes an<J the root of most
evils, as they see it, is the at-
ttmpt~or even jwst the verbal
wisb~to cause Hie aborliott of
a ctiitd already «o»ceive<J.*Fbey
object here, Dot so n»«ch on
moral grounds, as because such
attempts-or such wishes and
thoughts-load down the time
track with the basic-basic de-
mon engrain.
But ait is not tost. Dianetics
can transform you into a "clear"
- a person whose every engram
has been resolved. Then, and
then only, according to Hub-
bard, will you be free of your
ills and experience a tremen-
dous surge of new energy, crea-
tive dynamism and well being.
Tens of thousands of people
have been swallowing this doc-
trine with almost religious fer-
vor.
Cwltistt Have a Try
Some are the usual lunatic-
fringe types—frustrated maiden •
ladies who have already worked ••
their way through all the avail- *
room building, where swarms
of student auditors i aptly at-
tend llubbaid's lectures and
practice processing one another.
Still more recently, there have
been instituted a series of week-
end sessions at the swank Coun-
try Club Hotel in Hollywood.
Here, taking over 20 or 30
rooms, a band of student audi-
tors and pre-clears meet under
the guidance of professional
auditors for "intensive auditing
with chemical assist."
Hubbard and his associates
insist that this use of drugs has
nothing to do with narcosyn-
tlvesis. They claim that "chemi-
cal Assistants," purchasable in
California at any drugstore, aid
in helping resistant pre-clears
to SeMeve dianetic reverie and
to dredge up their basic-basic
engrams.
Medical Men Pretest
This treatment by laymen of
deep-seated psychological and
psychiatric problems is one of
the chief causes of the violent
criticism from medical men —
and particularly psychologists
and psychiatrists.
Under thelawsof almostevery '•
state, the practice of the heal- -
ing arts is restricted to medical
physicians, osteopaths and sim-
ilarly trained prolcssionals who *
have passed stringent, state-ad-
ministered licensing examina-

A defender of dianetics is
Frederick h. Schuman, Wood-

He is but one of those men of
high achievementintheirchosen
professions, so convinced of the
importance of dianetics that
they willingly write long letter*

roents, and enthusiastic articles
singing the praises of the new
"science.**
National headquarters of the
Dianetic Research Foundation
is an unprepossessing, back-
street office building in Eliza-
beth, N, J. There are ftve other
centers of dianetic teaching and
instruction, in Washington, New
York, Chicago, Los Angeles and
Honolulu.
Of all the dianetic centers,
Los Angeles is the most exuber-
antly expansive and enthusias-
tic. There the Hubbard Founda-
tion moved into a suite of
modest offices late last July. In
August, it took over a two-story
building housing a lecture the-

But the proponents of dia-

these restrictions, despite the
fact that most of the profes-
sional auditors, trained in one-
month courses, could never
qualify for the practice of med-
icine or any of the related heal-

"Pre-clears," Hubbard ex-
plains, "get dianetic processing
... neither therapy nor medi-
cine." Then he adds, with a dis-
arming grin, "It just happens
that what we release is the
cause of their psychosomatic
illnesses."
Temporary Aid lifcciy
Leading psychiatrists, how-
ever, asm not so sanguine about
either the effectiveness or the
innocuousness of Hubbard's
poor man's psychiatry. Dr. Jack
A. Dunagin, of the Menninger
Foundation, for example, con-
cedes that some sufferers from
mental malaise may find tem-
porary relief under dianetic
hocus-pocus, just as they some-
times do under hypnotism,
Coueism or voodoo.
"But," he declares, "the great-
est harm to a person would
come, riot because of the vicious
nature of dianetic therapy, but
because...it will lead them
away from treatment which
they may badly need."
Other psychiatrists point out
that Hubbard hat borrowed
from (and in the process, dis-
torted) most of the psychiatric

M.O.s Reject "Science"
They are outraged and in-
dignant at Hubbard's insistence
that he has developed a "sei-
eaee." They charge that iris
"evidence" is merely the end-
lessly repeated assertion that
cures have been achieved in
"270 cases" - unsupported by
documentation that these indi-
viduals were ever really sick in
the first place or ever achieved
cure under dianetic processing.
Although these faults ap-
pear overwhelming to men who
have spent their lives in the
scientific disciplines, they carry
little weight with Hubbards
growing legions. For dianeticc
apparently brings them some*
thing that conventional psy-
chiatry has failed to offer them.
Condemn it as obscure, ver-
bose, unscientific; the fact re-
mains that some individuate
find in dianetics a way to bring
onto a conscious level some of
the troubles and fears and idio-
. tyncracies mostol us hold deep-
ly buried within ourselves.
Some persons, whether they are
cured of anything at all or not,
find satisfaction and a feeling of
better adjustment to the world
through this confessional proc-
ess.
Also, though dianetics is cer-
tainly far front the conventional
psychiatry, it has great com-
mercial advantages over the
real thing.
In place of the psychiatrist,
with his many years of training
and his medical degree. Hub-
bard offers a professional audi-
tor, supercharged for processing
by a mouth of high-pressure
training-or even an amateur
who points you towai'd the
couch with one hand while he
finishes The Book in the oilier.
tn place of scores, and s«»me-
times hundreds, ot su^'iuits on
the psychiatric couch, Hubbard
offers a fcw in'.en&ive hours —
but still the comfort of a couch.
In place of a whole host of
complex Freudian causes for
heuroses — Oedipus complexes,
father images and what not —
Hubbaid offers a neat package
of engrams. When he gets down
to explaining them in detail,
they turn out to smack rather
strangely of Freud. But dressed
up in English words (instead of
Greek or Latin), they seem
easier to understand.
Oianelics Reaches All
; Hubbard's greatest attraction
' to the troubled is that his ersatz
psychiatry is available to all.
It's cheap. It's accessible. It's •
public festival to be played at
clubs and parties.
* In a country with only 6.000
profe$stonalpsych»atrists,.whose
usual consultation fees start at
$15 an hour, Hubbard has intro-
duced mass-production meth-
ods. Whether such methods can
actually help yoa if you're sick
is a moot point.
But moot or not, half a million
people are having a lot of mor-
bid fun, getting a lot of excite-
ment and going through a whirl
of mental gymnastics while red-
headed Ron builds his chain-
store Foundation.
To Father Divine's "Peace, it's
wonderful," the dianetician
might add. "Become a 'clear'—
it's basic-basic, wonderful-
wonderful."

Two of your recent articles have brought questions to mj Kind that you Bight
consider worth answering io some future column.
yfbe first concerns your definition of a cecmunist.
ID 1947 I joined an anti-Cocniunist Party, eoMBunist group, i t has aince b»«a «•—
labled subversive—and Cod knows, if the Coaooaist Party Is subversive, the one I
joined was twice so; they eves subrerted the Coaauniets. lou surely know enough
' about cotsaunisa to realize that 2 did not believe ayself to be aubversive, bat >
instead believed that I was one of the enlightened young aen, vho, if we could just
present our ease adequately enough, would convince all the poor misguided capitalists
that their brutal ways were futile and that by foregoing then they could create a
be&ven on earth. I have yet to tteet one of the so-called cynical coosunists; X're •
knows quite a few of different leftist persuasions, but each one fervently belieTed
himself to be aa Assericao patriot—and they •All-American," to be a traitor, ttotirated
by f.reed. ' . . - • • • • •• .
" r "' *
I quit the group within a few months, giring tiiese three reasons: (l) I objected to
the group's insistance that oon-eoapuaista WTi'feers should not be read; (2) I belieTed
«X were waS'ting time, and should start the revolution lomediately; (3) I didn't
believe that food could result from violence. lou awy Dote a lack of consistency in*
these reasons. 2*ve *ore recently realised that t simply lacked the guts required
even to be a coaounist. . .

Froa that point on, I justified ay being practically a bun, by the noble Ideals,
including Marxism, that I aspired to. I wanted »ucb good things for the world, that_J
people should excuse my sot bolting a job, borrowing from them, etc., etc. Besi
eo&e day 1 was going to write a book that would achieve the bloodless revolution.L.
Then, being a crackpot of the overly intellectual Variety, when the crackpot ^
*Dianetics,* cane along, I got involved with that. But 1 was unique from the otheV
crackpots 2 have net in that field, in that L'a a whix at reading-comprehension; I
-finish those tests that aren't supposed to be finished, in three quarters of the
dlloted time, and get all the answers right*
! • • : . . • . . * • • .
