DOCUMENT CAPTIONED "BRAIN-WASHING -
A SYNTHESIS OF THE TEXT - BOOK ON
PSYCHOPOLITICS"
INTERNAL SECURITY - RUSSIA

Reurlet 6-7-61 furnishing copy of captioned document.

For your information, the document has been given wide distribution since its publication in 1955. It is distributed by the Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation, Inc., Box 242, Silver Spring, Maryland. Various copies of the document have been received by the Bureau from individuals from coast to coast and even from Australia, together with inquiries concerning its authenticity.

The Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation, Inc., was founded by one L. Ron Hubbard who is connected with the Hubbard Association of Scientologists International, The Academy of Scientology and The Founding Church of Scientology, 1812 19th Street, Northwest, Washington 9, D.C.

The April 24, 1951, issue of the "Washington Times Herald" contained an article with a Los Angeles, California, date line [sic] indicating that Hubbard's wife, in suing for divorce, claimed he was "hopelessly insane." Individuals who have been connected with the organizations headed by Hubbard or who have been in contact with him have indicated he is a "crackpot," and of "doubtful mental background." No investigation has been conducted by the Bureau concerning Hubbard.

NOTE: Oklahoma City Office forwarded to Bureau captioned document which could be construed as a text on brainwashing which elaborates on a purported address by "Beria" to American students at "Lenin University" at an unspecified date. The document contains some reasonable statements and also much that is incomprehensible. The author of the document, one "Charles Stickley," does not claim that it is a textbook, but states it is a "synthesis of information gathered...over the last 10 years."
