<p>Due to the high price of coffee, it has been necessary to increase the subscription price of The ABERREE to $1.68 a year. Only by moving away from Phoenix were we able to keep this price increase down to such a minimum.</p>

(Try it yourself, some time, when you have a few spare after-dinner moments.)

<h2>"Original Thesis" Is Printed Complete in <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/h-a-s.html"><acronym title="The Hubbard Association of Scientologists, replaced by the Hubbard Association of Scientologists, International (HASI) at the June Congress in 1954.">H.A.S.</acronym></a> "Journal"</h2>
<p>Issue 28-G of the Journal of SCIENTOLOGY carried a full reprint of the book, "<a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/dianetics.html"><acronym title="A self-help therapy created (or synthesized) and publicized by L. Ron Hubbard beginning in 1950. It was the precursor to Scientology, and its techniques are still the introductory practices of Scientology.">Dianetics</acronym></a>, the Original Thesis", under the title, "Scientology: A New Science". This should interest newcomers to Scientology as well as "old timers" who "look down their noses" at Dianeticists as "foreigners" and consider them bedfellows of doctors, psychiatrists, etc. This issue of the Journal contains 20 pages and sells for 75 cents, compared to the $3 charged for the original book.</p>
<p>And this might be a good place to explain what the "G" stands for after the issue number of the Journal. Originally, there were supposed to be three classes of the magazine: Medical, designated by the letter "M" and carrying material of interest to the medical profession; Special, symbolized by the letter "S", which would go to special groups; and General, which would cover the entire field of <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/dianetics.html"><acronym title="A self-help therapy created (or synthesized) and publicized by L. Ron Hubbard beginning in 1950. It was the precursor to Scientology, and its techniques are still the introductory practices of Scientology.">Dianetics</acronym></a> and Scientology. The "M" and "S" numbers would be sample "come on" issues, and those who showed enough interest to subscribe would be picked up on the "G" list. The "M" and "S" issues never have materialized.</p>

<h2>SHOULD WE RETURN TO 'MERCENARIES'?</h2>
<p>(Here's Where Page 2 Ended.)</p>
<p>ting the contract to a civilian organization to provide meals for this training center. Not only will they furnish the meals, but there'll be civilian service for officers AND enlisted men, with no dishes to wash, no floors to scrub, no sloppy tables to "G.I."</p>
<p>It's an economy measure. It was discovered that an outside firm could provide better meals at less expense than the Air Base itself. Which merely points up the inefficiency of a military organization. With hundreds of men idle most of the time, serving out a sentence in preparation for a war the top politicians may not be able to maneuver us into in spite of their frantic efforts, it seems strange that cooks, waiters, dish washers, etc., can be hired, food prepared and served--at a profit for some civilian firm--cheaper than the Government can do it.</p>
<p>Yet there have been parallel instances in the past. On Operation Crossroads, the Bikini atomic bomb experiments of 1946, more than $100,000,000 was spent to detonate and photograph two atomic bombs. A better job could have been done for one-tenth of this sum by even one of the "B" picture companies from Hollywood. It was no secret among military personnel that the pictures made by the Army Air Force of the A-blasts in 1946 and the preparations for it were far inferior to pre-explosion pictures made by a newsreel company.</p>
<p>In the name of economy--if the administration REALLY is interested in lightening the tax burden--maybe somebody will come up with the idea of fighting the next war by contract: give the contract to win the war to a low-bidding civilian firm and let them make the plans and hire needed personnel. It's certain experienced gunners wouldn't be pounding typewriters, typists picking up twigs and cigaret butts off the grass in the "Officers' Quarters", and cooks and dish washers operating the armament.</p>
<p>Besides, if it were a game as well as a job--instead of enforced servitude under incompetent rank-happies--winning a war might be fun.</p>
<hr />
<p>SICK ITUR AD ASTRA</p>
<p>"A hypochrondiac", according to Will Roth in The FLITTER, "is a fellow who can't leave well enough alone. He has also been called a person with a sick sense."</p>

<p>A "Rev." Braxton B. Sawyer, who calls himself an "Anti-nudist evangelist", seeks laws in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas to outlaw nudism, which he admits does not now exist. Anyone know a better way to make nudism popular?</p>

<h2>Volney Offers <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/e-meter.html"><acronym title="A device invented by Volney Matheson used in Dianetics auditing and other alternative therapies.">E-Meter</acronym></a> for Unresponsive Indian</h2>
<p>Claims by two Oklahoma state officials that Indians are so "stoic" they would not react to lie detector tests have been challenged by <a class="glossary-term" href="/people/volney-mathison.html"><acronym title="Mathison was the inventor of the E-Meter and author of several books about self-exploration.

<p>Mathison, after reading the report in the July-August issue of The ABERREE that Dr. W. H. Donahue, director of Oklahoma Mental Health, and 0. K. Bivens, State Crime Bureau director, "found" full-blooded Indians "showed absolutely no reaction" when tested on lie detector, promised to give them an E-400-A instrument "if they will send me one Indian who will not register on this instrument."</p>
<p>Mathison added that he wanted a live Indian, who could understand English -- not the old wooden Indian that used to be standard cigar store equipment.</p>
<p>Mathison said there are several full blooded Indians in his employ, and before each is hired he is given an assessment. All register very sharply.</p>

<h2>Second Southeastern Meeting Will Be Held in Atlanta, Ga.</h2>
<p>The second annual Southeastern Dianetic Conference will be held in Atlanta, Ga., August 21 and 22, Ernest P. Pope, chairman, reports.</p>
<p>This year's conference will be built around the theme: "Applying <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/dianetics.html"><acronym title="A self-help therapy created (or synthesized) and publicized by L. Ron Hubbard beginning in 1950. It was the precursor to Scientology, and its techniques are still the introductory practices of Scientology.">Dianetics</acronym></a> and <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/scientology.html"><acronym title="The outgrowth of Dianetics, ultimately styled as, alternately, a religion, a self-help system, and an applied religious philosophy.">Scientology</acronym></a> in Everyday Life". Among the speakers will be Alberta Elliott and Paul Metcalf, with several others still to be heard from. In addition to the speakers, short tapes will be played from persons prominent in the field unable to attend.</p>
<p>The conference starts Saturday morning, with preliminary discussions Friday night. It will end shortly after noon Sunday, according to Pope.</p>
<p>Marjorie Sapp is secretary of the conference.</p>
<p>Ron Outlines Each Step for Auditors in new "Handbook"</p>
<p>Anyone confused with how to use the new procedures should have much of that confusion erased with a new book, "The Auditor's Handbook", by <a class="glossary-term" href="/people/l-ron-hubbard.html"><acronym title="Founder of Dianetics and Scientology.">L. Ron Hubbard</acronym></a>. The book includes an outline of "Intensive Procedure".</p>
<p>In the Handbook, Ron lists each step for any case level, and then shows in detail how to run each step, including some of the auditor's patter. Although the book is mimeographed and contains only 25 pages, it's almost a "must" for the auditor, whether he's a Clinical Course graduate or not, and as a source of data, is a bargain at... Since the price is part of the book, and the book is copyrighted, and no part of the book may be reproduced, we can only say that the price is less than $2.86.</p>

<h3>Wichita Foundation Shut; Don Aims for New "Utopia"</h3>
<p>The Dianetic Foundation of Wichita, Kas., has wriggled its last toe! Even the partitions in the building at 211 West Douglas, which cubicled offices, class rooms, and auditing rooms, are be ing torn out and the material will be used in the construction of homes.</p>

Purcell bailed out the Elizabeth (New Jersey) Dianetics foundation and established a new on in Wichita; Purcell was president, and L. Ron Hubbard was vice-president. Shortly afterward, the two men had a falling out. Hubbard began attacking Purcell and threatened to sue him for a million dollars. Ultimately, Purcell gave many of the foundations remaining assets, including copyrights, to Hubbard, and allied himself with Art Coulter's Synergetics instead.">Don G.

<p>Hubbard's acceptance of the gesture, Purcell said, was immediate, and the former partners have been in daily communication ever since the offer was made.</p>
<p>This does not mean, Purcell said, that he is giving up research into means for the betterment of man, but merely that he is transferring his allegiance from <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/dianetics.html"><acronym title="A self-help therapy created (or synthesized) and publicized by L.

They are embarking on what they call "Project Nucleus", "the creation of optimum individuals who, in turn, will be the nucleus for an optimum community". Purcell said they hope to avoid the errors and pitfalls which have beset other utopias in the past by preparing the personnel in advance.</p>
<p>The new project, Purcell said, has no financial goal, and processing will be on a free rather than a fee basis. He added that the only qualifications for membership is that the applicant be human -- regardless of creed, race, or color -- and they "might even accept animals if they're smart enough to understand".</p>

<h2>The Data's A Bit Stale, But Now It's "Official"</h2>
<p>In an announcement that will come to few as startling or necessary, <a class="glossary-term" href="/people/art-coulter.html"><acronym title="An early member of Dianetics and related movements.">Art Coulter</acronym></a>, M.D., of Worthington, Ohio, has announced his complete withdrawal from <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/dianetics.html"><acronym title="A self-help therapy created (or synthesized) and publicized by L. Ron Hubbard beginning in 1950. It was the precursor to Scientology, and its techniques are still the introductory practices of Scientology.">dianetics</acronym></a>.</p>
<p>This follows within only a few months his resignation from the Dianetic Foundation in Wichita and the organizing of what he calls a "new science" under the tentative label of "<a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/synergetics.html"><acronym title="A self-help system developed by Art Coulter following from his work with Analytical Procedure.">Synergetics</acronym></a>".</p>
<p>(Dr. Coulter's most recent definition of <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/synergetics.html"><acronym title="A self-help system developed by Art Coulter following from his work with Analytical Procedure.">Synergetics</acronym></a>: "You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours", which sounds similar to the type of therapy we've seen monkeys practicing in the zoo.)</p>
<p>Dr. Art's statement follows:</p>
<p>"In the interests of harmony and as a gesture of good will, among other reasons, I have decided to withdraw from <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/dianetics.html"><acronym title="A self-help therapy created (or synthesized) and publicized by L.

<p>"Please notify all concerned of the following:</p>
<p>"1. That Analytical Procedure should no longer be regarded as a 'dianetic' approach, but rather as a part of <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/synergetics.html"><acronym title="A self-help system developed by Art Coulter following from his work with Analytical Procedure.">synergetics</acronym></a>.</p>
<p>"2. That while there is no restriction on its free use by anyone, the use of Analytical Procedure by anyone charging a fee for processing is not authorized.</p>
<p>"3. That the path of <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/synergetics.html"><acronym title="A self-help system developed by Art Coulter following from his work with Analytical Procedure.">synergetics</acronym></a> and the synergetic movement will henceforth finally, completely, and irrevocably be away from <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/dianetics.html"><acronym title="A self-help therapy created (or synthesized) and publicized by L.

<h3>The Big Trouble with <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/dianetics.html"><acronym title="A self-help therapy created (or synthesized) and publicized by L. Ron Hubbard beginning in 1950. It was the precursor to Scientology, and its techniques are still the introductory practices of Scientology.">Dianetics</acronym></a>--</h3>
<h2>NOBODY EVER TRIED IT</h2>
<p>By Bob Arentz</p>
<p>DURING the last four and a half years, I've heard a lot of "bull" about what is wrong with <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/dianetics.html"><acronym title="A self-help therapy created (or synthesized) and publicized by L. Ron Hubbard beginning in 1950. It was the precursor to Scientology, and its techniques are still the introductory practices of Scientology.">Dianetics</acronym></a>--and lately, <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/scientology.html"><acronym title="The outgrowth of Dianetics, ultimately styled as, alternately, a religion, a self-help system, and an applied religious philosophy.">Scientology</acronym></a>. Some, from people who should have known better.</p>
<p>But the main item has been missed completely. The big trouble with <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/dianetics.html"><acronym title="A self-help therapy created (or synthesized) and publicized by L. Ron Hubbard beginning in 1950. It was the precursor to Scientology, and its techniques are still the introductory practices of Scientology.">Dianetics</acronym></a> is that nobody ever tried it!</p>
<p>It's true that there may have been a half-dozen conscientious auditors who tried to get Hubbard's real data from the first book, but most of them used "The Modern Science of Mental Health" as a springboard to dramatize their own engrams and sympathy exciters, or to prove some crackpot theory they already had.</p>
<p>It was a jolt in 1950 to see a graduate of the first Elizabeth Foundation school practicing a type of auditing that "The Book" warned against time and again--and from correspondence with other graduates, it appeared that the technique was being taught. This also was true with other so-called schools: California, Wichita, etc., as well as the groups.</p>
<p>All programs were aimed at ignoring the most important tenets of Hubbard's first book and substituting every kind of screwball substitute --from E-Therapy and self-hypnosis to the nonsense scattered from centers of idiocy in Colorado, Alabama, Florida, Washington and elsewhere. Seeing supposedly long-term, fast friends of Ron's turn to the enemy for money, and later come back hypocritically contrite has only intensified my dislike for people who ignore data, and then blame Ron for the miserable failures attendant upon their efforts.</p>
<p>If the first book was ignored, still less attention was given to what may yet prove to be THE classic work: "Advanced Procedures and Axioms". Even Hubbard has rejected both of these works by implication, which might serve to validate F. Scott Fitzgerald's statement that writing and works of art transcend their creators' own understanding of them.</p>
<p>"Advanced Procedures" brought <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/clear.html"><acronym title="A state purportedly produced by Dianetic processing, described as being free of one's reactive mind. According to Hubbard's book Dianetics, a clear has perfect memory and improved eyesight, and no longer suffers from psychosomatic illnesses.">clear</acronym></a> light and understanding to mankind's greatest mystery and suggested a means of solving that mystery. But it was used as a springboard to dramatize what was called "the service facsimile chain", and instead of following Ron's basic advice to always use light techniques on low-toned preclears, the heaviest stuff possible was run by screwballs looking for blueprints on how to make a bap gun instead of how to get a preclear out of an engram he was stuck in.</p>
<p>As a result, many calling themselves "Dianeticists" got only the results they should have expected, yet they used their own failures to "prove" Hubbard was wrong--that his techniques didn't work.</p>
<p>Now we have the recent "Auditor's Handbook and Intensive Procedure", which stands with the first two as a major work on mental--or, if you prefer it, spiritual therapy.</p>
<p>This book is a full package, as were the first two. This book, if followed carefully, will produce the miraculous betterments in health and mind that Ron always has extravagantly claimed for all of his techniques.</p>
<p>But it has the same pitfall as the other two--the same "bugger factor" that auditors en masse used to nullify the preceding books.</p>
<p>Ron again has taken it for granted that auditors will follow his instructions and audit according to the outlines of <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/dianetics.html"><acronym title="A self-help therapy created (or synthesized) and publicized by L. Ron Hubbard beginning in 1950. It was the precursor to Scientology, and its techniques are still the introductory practices of Scientology.">Dianetics</acronym></a> and <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/scientology.html"><acronym title="The outgrowth of Dianetics, ultimately styled as, alternately, a religion, a self-help system, and an applied religious philosophy.">Scientology</acronym></a> already given. He has assumed that the stuff will be used with a modicum of horse sense.</p>
<p>Well, let's hope so. But</p>
<p>ABOUT THE AUTHOR</p>
<p>WE'VE known Bob Arentz nearly 3 years, and in that time have discovered he can get "madder" at <a class="glossary-term" href="/people/l-ron-hubbard.html"><acronym title="Founder of Dianetics and Scientology.">L. Ron Hubbard</acronym></a> than any one we know. Also, he can express his anger most convincingly, as many of the <a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/h-a-s.html"><acronym title="The Hubbard Association of Scientologists, replaced by the Hubbard Association of Scientologists, International (HASI) at the June Congress in 1954.">H.A.S.</acronym></a> staff will testify.</p>
<p>Therefore, it was with crossed fingers that we agreed to let him write a review on Hubbard's new "Auditor's Handbook". We liked the book, and wanted no vitriolic pen taking it apart. Besides, Uncle Sam is somewhat of a minacious guardian of the mails' purity.</p>
<p>But Bob fooled us. And in the light of the Dianetic-<a class="glossary-term" href="/terms/scientology.html"><acronym title="The outgrowth of Dianetics, ultimately styled as, alternately, a religion, a self-help system, and an applied religious philosophy.">Scientology</acronym></a> reunion, Bob may have a point. In fact, he may have several points in a "review" that's as long as this one is.</p>
