FROM THE FILES OF THE FBI #118
STANDARD FORM NO. 64
Office Memorandum - UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
TO : Director, FBI
DATE: May 22, 1953
FROM : SAC, Detroit (80-90)
SUBJECT: THE HUBBARD DIANETIC RESEARCH
FOUNDATION, INCORPORATED
[BLACKED OUT]
[SHORT PARAGRAPH BLACKED OUT]
People who were bothered with mental problems were being treated
by this organization with the use of an apparatus involving two
beer cans which were attached to an electric meter somewhat
resembling a lie detector machine [LINE BLACKED OUT]
It is noted in one of the enclosures [BLACKED OUT] that members
of the organization are going to be fingerprinted and that an
affidavit was to be obtained from each member which was to be filed
with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington, D.C.
In another enclosure it is noted that the organization was
stopping dianetic processing within the boundaries of the District
of Columbia, evidently at the request of the United States
Attorney. This would indicate that perhaps the Bureau may have had
some information concerning the Hubbard Foundation contained within
the Bureau files in Washington, D.C.
Indices of the Detroit Division are negative on the
organization.
For the benefit of the Detroit Office [BLACKED OUT] it is
requested that the Bureau files be reviewed and any pertinent
information relative to the Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation be
furnished to the Detroit Office.
