Office Memorandum - UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

TO : DIRECTOR, FBI

DATE: 4/6/56

FROM : SAC, LOS ANGELES

SUBJECT: COMMUNIST STRATEGY
"BRAIN-WASHING, A
Synthesis of the Russian
Textbook on Phychopolitics [sic]"
INTERNAL SECURITY - C

On March 22, 1956, a booklet entitled "BRAIN-WASHING, A Synthesis of the Russian Textbook on Phychopolitics [sic]," was received for examination from [BLACKED OUT] California, in which she reported that her husband, [BLACKED OUT] had received this booklet through the mails and she wanted the Federal Bureau of Investigation to have it. She was of the opinion that her husband was affiliated with the Hubbard Dianetics Group.

This booklet has been photostated, a copy of which is being furnished to the Central Research Section with the request that it be read and examined and that this office be advised of the authenticity if known, of the information contained therein. It is further suggested that it might be used to good advantage in connection with the [BLACKED OUT] Program - particularly in interviews with those individuals who are idealists and became involved in the Communist movement primarily for that particular reason.

The Bureau's analysis and comments of this booklet with respect to its authenticity and possibly value in interviewing CP members will be appreciated.
