WASHINGTON — A Reader's Digest senior editor, author of an article critical of the Church of Scientology, asked a federal court Tuesday to quash a church-sought subpoena aimed at compelling his testimony in a lawsuit. "This Scientology action seeks to harass and vilify journalists who have published criticism of this criminal enterprise," said lawyers for Eugene Methvin, a senior editor at the Digest, and Jane Denis Smith, a former researcher at the magazine, in their petition to the U.S. District Court ...

Eighteen months ago, the U.S.-based Church of Scientology launched a global—and unsuccessful—campaign to prevent publication of a Reader's Digest report called "Scientology: Anatomy of a Frightening Cult." The church engaged a detective agency to investigate the author, Digest Senior Editor Eugene H. Methvin. Digest offices in a half-dozen nations were picketed or bombarded with nuisance phone calls. In Denmark, South Africa and Australia, the church sued unsuccessfully to prevent publication. In the months since the article appeared, in May 1980, a ...

CLEARWATER — The Church of Scientology is a visible, viable Clearwater institution, church spokesman Milt Wolfe said Tuesday morning: "We're here. We're going to stay here." And in an attempt to make that fact more palatable, the church released a "financial report" during a Tuesday press conference, contending that the controversial organization spent exactly $10,028,000 in the Tampa Bay area in 1980. Reading from a prepared press release in a chapel inside the church's Fort Harrison Hotel headquarters, Wolfe said the ...

CLEARWATER — Even as proposed plans were being unveiled Tuesday afternoon for a new hotel-retail complex along Clearwater's bayfront, a Church of Scientology group was saying hotel development here has been too slow. They say they have plans of their own. The group, New Clearwater for the 80s, has compiled a voluminous "Clearwater Downtown Development Data Pack" that they say will bring developers and investors, "especially hotel developers, into downtown Clearwater." The packet consists of maps, copies of a City of ...

CLEARWATER — It appears that the Church of Scientology cannot legally open an educational parish on Highland Avenue, the chief planner for the City of Clearwater said Tuesday. "The evidence, that I have would indicate that that is a zoning violation," said Chief Planner Jon Richter. "I would expect our zoning enforcement officers to follow up on it." The Scientologists plan to use a remodeled house at 511 S Highland Ave. as a "Clearwater Parish" where local residents can take beginning ...
