This was reversed on a decision by the judgeon 8 November, 1985 who ruled in essence thatsomeone who had left the Church might be break-in the church covenants but that this was nota matter for the courts to enforce, and thosewho had left the church had a right to carryon and use the scriptures and religous materialsthat they had studied and learned.

Scientologists deservecredit for anti-IRS forumThe
recent anti-Internal RevenueService forum sponsored bythe Church of Scientology may
turn out to be a boon to the taxpay-ing public.
While we hold no brief for theScientologists or their doctrines, wefeel it is only fair to spotlight theircontributions to the public good.
And, although their motives arequestionable (the Scientologists havesuffered at the hands of the IRS andhave a policy of getting even withattackers), they have certainly donethe American public a service byproviding an opportunity for theNational Council of IRS Whistleblow-ers to publicize some of the abusesperpetrated by the agency.
The Whistleblowers were theguests of the Scientologists on Mon-day. The principal speaker was aformer U.S. congressman, GeorgeHansen, who is doing his best toalert the country to IRS outrages.
There are many such outrages. Asthe years pass, an impressive arrayof IRS horror stories has developed.
They include taxpayer investigationsbased upon religious and politicalaffiliations; the canceling of taxpay-ers' rights because of large gifts tochurches and other charities; andthe persecution by the IRS of itsemployees who threaten to tell thetruth about the agencYs tactics.
As the federal government triesto stamp out the non-taxpaying un-derground economy, the extremistmethods of the IRS are likely togrow worse. Uncle Sam needs everypenny he can lay his hands on, andthe IRS is his principal collectionagency.
Wrongdoing by any governmentagency should be publicized. TheScientologists, who don't think theyshould pay taxes, have an obviouslyself-serving reason for wanting toput the spotlight on the less-savorydoings of the IRS. But even with thatclearcut ax to grind, the local Sci-entologists should be commendedfor giving the Coalition a chance tobroadcast its message.

Hubbard seriesoff to bad startUnited Press International
If L. Ron Hubbard sticks to the precedent set bythis first volume, the 10-book "Mission Earth" serieswill run some 6,000 pages when completed. May Godforgive die man for what he is about to do to all thosetrees.

The idea is to follow 603 pages. $18.95the course of an alieninvasion of Earth, but not from the point of view ofits intended victims us.
The heroes, as it were, of Hubbard's work arethe invaders the soldiers, politicians, nobles andfunctionaries of the corrupt, bloated, yet stillmighty Voltar Confederacy.
The Confederacy is making its creaky way acrossthe galaxies toward Earth, which it plans to conquerfor use as a major supply base sometime within thenext century.
Meanwhile, some of the smarmier elements ofthe Voltarian bureaucracy have already landed onour planet they call it Blito P-3 and areinfiltrating our society in the hope of using Earthnarcotics as a weapon in their own planned takeoverof the Confederacy. It's a tdrrific starting point for asci-fi novel, but Hubbard starts there and goesnowhere.
His writing is artless. His plotting is less thandeft. And The Inuaclers Plan has no characters ithas only a collection of stick figures with noparticular substance and no particular depth.Dennis O'Shea

It is obvious why Scientologydoesn't want this nonsense madepublic: the suckers (i.e., their cli-ents) would never pay to get fullybrainwashed through the earlystages if they knew how silly theend would be.
MICHAEL KLEINSanta Barbara
L. Ron Hubbard is no crazierthan the average prophet, andScientology is better than a lot ofreligionsat least it preachesself-improvement in this lifethrough self-analysis rather thanrewards in an afterlife throughprayer.
But Scientology makes one hugemistake: it promises improved in-telligence rather than the attain-ment of eternal bliss. And intelli-gence can be measured whereas noone has ever come back from thegrave to prove that a religion was afraud. Putting it another way, whatScientology must learn is that it'smuch safer to insult the intelli-gence than to improve it.

In responseEditor
You are to be applauded foryour editorial on the recenthosting of the National Councilof IRS Whistleblowers by theChurch of Scientology. This edi-torial showed a moderation inthe Sun's attitude toward theChurch and the local Scientolog-ists who are part of our commu-nity, and this is commendable.One would hope that it rep-resents a policy trend on thepart of the Sun's management.
As both a Scientologist and aClearwater resident I must cor-rect you on one issue. The edito-rial included the comment: "TheScientologists, who don't thinkthey should pay taxes, ..." Thisis not a factual or truestatement, expressed like it isas a generality. I assume thatthe statement refers to incometaxes, given its context in acommentary on the IRS forumof last Monday night. Sciento-logists are individuals, with agreat variety of opinions on va-rious subjects, just like onewould expect to find in any
Letters to the Editor. ,
group. The various ways thatindividual Scientologists chooseto approach their personal in-come taxes would vary in aspectrum similar to that of thegeneral public.
All that could be said in thisrespect is that most Scientolog-ists think in terms of equitableexchange within the society. Itis also true that Scientologistsfor the most- part are verystrongly against doing anythingwhich breaks the law. Most Sci-entologists are adherents of theidea that one should "support agovernment designed and runfor all the people, which is oneof the precepts of the Way toHappiness.
So one couldn't really saywhat Scientologists as a gener-ality think about income taxesor what should be done aboutthem, as the attitudes on thissubject would be likely to bequite diverse.
One could say that most Sci-entologists do uphold and try tofollow as best they can the mor-al code expressed in the Way toHappiness. One of the preceptsof this booklet addresses suchthings as being compassionate,appreciative, kind, considerate,tolerant, beneciolent, honest,fair, just, etc.
Perhaps your comment thatthe Scientologists don't thinkthey should pay their taxes ref-ers to the Church rather than toScientologists as individuals.The Church's viewpoint in thisregard, as far as I am aware, isthat the Church of Scientologyshould be treated the same asany other Church should betreated with respect to taxation,not that any special treatmentis in order.
It is excellent that you havenoted one of the contributionsthat the Church is making tothe society.

LOS ANGELES (AP) A judge says she willforbid groups that have broken with the Churchof Scientology from using or selling confidentialchurch teachings that were stolen.
The doctrine at issue is Scientology founder L.Ron Hubbard's account of Xemu, a tyrant whosupposedly planted the seeds of aberrant behav-ior in mankind 75 million years ago.
After a two-day hearing, U.S. District JudgeMariana R. Pfaelzer said Friday that the sect'steachings can be considered trade *pet&
"You've just seen history made,' Scientologyattorney Joseph A. Yanny said. "Ws he firsttime you've ever seen a decision thatscriptures constitute trade secrets." ,The judge said she will issue a preliminaryinjunction until a trial can be held on a lawsuitbrought by the sect against defectors who haveset up competing sects and counseling.. centers.
David Mayo, who once worked closely withHubbard and now runs the Church of the NewCivilization in Santa Barbara, said "we could bewiped out" by the decision.
The suit allers Mayo and others conspiredwith former Scientologist Robin Scott to stealsecret instructional materials from a sect branch.Under questioning by Scientology attorneyEarle C. Cooley, Mayo denied receiving stolenmaterials, saying he was working from memory.
, Mayo said he wrote 80 percent to 90 percent of: the materials when he worked as a Scientologis-tone of the sect's theoreticians.The judge said there was a link "very clearly
established" at the hearing between a programMayo offers and a Scientology program that wasstolen by Scott in December 1983. Scott wassubsequently convicted,.

Sect mails taped messageofficials for Scientology, everydifficult situation they everwere called to handle, whetherwith parents or the press, wascaused by "some new or uni.trained Scientologist completelymisinforming others as to whatwas Scientology data," thespeaker says.
"Feeling challenged and inval-idated, the relatively untrainedScientologist sometimes tries tomake an impact on a non-Sci-entologist by telling him bizarreand sometimes incomplete or in-correct data on the subject in-stead of some useful materialthe other could use to better hislife," he continues. "Uninformedpersons experience a drop inreality and feel antagonisticwhen this occurs.
"... The materials of Sciento-logy are not very mysteriousand when viewed as a whole,not as fragments, are very sen-sible."
Rather, Scientologsts believein kindness, understanding andbetter human relations, the min-ister says.

CLEARWATER The "fa-vorable" reaction from a Churchof Scientology goodwill messagevia a cassette tape may sparkadditional tape mailings.
The Clearwater-based groupmailed about 300 cassette tapestitled "Can We Ever BeFriends?" this week to local cityofficials, newspapers and ran-domly selected residents.
"We've gotten calls as to whypeople haven't received them,"Scientology spokesman LudwigAlpers said Tuesday.
Because of the positive re-sponse, "there might be moregoing out," he said.
A small group of Scientolog-ists recently approached Alpersabout donating money to pro-vide the cassette tapes to com-munity officials and residents.
"I think this will break thelast bit of ice," he said, notinghis belief that after 10 years ofantagonism between the cityand the Scientologists, both
sides appear to be heading inthe same direction. "We want tocreate better relations, and thistape helps explain who andwhat are Scientologists."
The Scientology mailout in-cludes the tape, a cover letterby Alpers and a postage-paidpostcard enabling residents toget more information about Di-anetics and Scientology.
The taped speaker, who iden-tifies himself as a minister ofthe Church of Scientology, talksabout the possibility of repairing the "torn heartstrings"of estranged family membersand friends.
"It often appears that thethings they have done weremonstrous and cruel, and thatthey never can be forgiven," thetape continues. "But forgive-ness is the very stuff of whichharmony is made. Big peoplecan forgive."

CLEARWATER Local!church of Scientology parishio-Iners put up a large chunk oficash to send 1,200 books and!tapes on Dianetics to Clearwa-:ter residents over the weekend.
The holiday packages includ-' ed a copy of "Dianetics: The'Modern Science of MentalHealth," authored by Scientolo-gy founder L. Ron Hubbard in1950, a cassette tape of Hub-bard expounding on Dianetics,his theory on mental well-being,and a cover letter from Sciento-logy spokesman Ludwig Alpers.
Based on cost figures of $4.95for each book and $10.95 pertape, the Scientology membersdoled out about $9,500 to payfor the 600 "Christmas pre-sents."
The packages were sent toClearwater residents in four orfive different professions, suchas chiropractors, who were con-
Clearwatersidered "most likely to be inter-ested in the technology of Di-anetics," Alpers said Monday.
According to ScientoloOsts,Dianetics is a "religious philoso-phy," whereby a practitionercan discover painful sub-conscious memories that thwarthis mental happiness. ThroughDianetics counseling, or "audit-ing," one can rid himself ofthese bad memories, called "en-grams," and become a happier,more productive person.
The package deliveries fall onthe heels of a similar Scientolo-gy mailing in early December.
In that mailing, about 300local city officials, newspapersand randomly selected residentsreceived a Scientology-producedcassette tape titled, "Can WeEver Be Friends?"
Favorable reaction from thatgoodwill message prompted theweekend mailing.

We are disappointed that BobDriver chooses to misconstrueScientology so thoroughly, andchooses to use his column toattempt to perpetuate misunder-standing between the people ofClearwater and the parishionersof the Church of Scientology.
If Driver has a personalgrudge, he should take it upwith a minister or official of theChurch personally. We will goto all possible lengths to settleany misunderstanding or differ-ences.
Also, it is a basic tenet of ourfaith that a person is responsi-ble for truly and correctly rep-resenting facts and for personal-ly observing and checUig outhis facts whenever possible. Wewould 'be happy to acquaintDriver with some of our betterknown parishioners, amongwhom are:
k-f A world-class concert pia-nist and recent winner of theinternational Chopin and Lisztprizes, and a Columbia, Deccaand MCA recording artist.
A leading soprano of theMetropolitan Opera in New

fr-The star of the TV series"Baretta," and "Double Trou-ble," and founder of "RightTrack," a drug education pro-gram for kids; along with nu-merous other TV celebrities.
Not to mention a host of busi-ness, school teachers, doctors,artists and professionals of allkinds, some of whom have theirown corporations and business-es in Clearwater and reside here.
I venture to say that theseparishioners would be aston-ished to hear themselves dubbedas "societal misfits" who need'"psuedo-friendship and a tempo-rary sense of belonging," andknow any of them would be onlytoo happy to personally giveDriver some idea of what Sci-entology means to them andwhat it has contributed to theirlives, as well as why they proud-ly choose to be members of theChurch of Scientology...if onlyDriver would ask them!
Whether or not Driver wishesto be our friend, we still wish tobe his, and will continue ourefforts to create a climate oftolerance and understanding, aswell as work to make Clearwa-ter a better community for citi-zens of all faiths.
