NOTE continued:
Hubbard has been described as being "hopelessly insane" by his
wife in suing for divorce and the "Washington Times Herald" of
4-24-51, in mentioning this divorce proceeding, stated that
"competent medical advisors recommended that Hubbard be committed
to a private sanitarium for psychiatric observation and treatment
of a mental ailment known as paranoid schizophrenia." (105-55601-5)
