TORONTO (AP) — The Church of Scientology in Canada has offered to donate a million dollars or more to the needy if the government drops criminal theft charges against it. The move was legally unprecedented. Ontario Attorney General Ian Scott reacted coolly and the nation's leading newspaper termed the offer "offensive." Scott left the door open for lawyers to discuss Tuesday's proposal. It stems from a case charging church members with the theft of government documents about the church's activities ...

The offer was made yesterday in a letter written by the church’s lawyer, Clayton Ruby, and delivered to Ontario Attorney-General Ian Scott’s office.

Ten million copies of the book have been sold since a large portion of it appeared in the April 1950 issue of the pulp publication "Astounding Science Fiction." It remains on the best-seller lists even today. Yuppies are said to love it. Hubbard, who died in 1986 at age 74, was already one of the best-selling science ...

The 'Big League Sales' Church AS the perpetrator of the supposed 'hooligan antics' against the Concerned Businessman's Association at the May Fayre, could I reply to the Scientology Public Relations officer's allegations? Worried by the Courier's recent story on the tactic of luring children into Scientology via front groups, I stopped by at the Concerned Businessman's Association stand to find whether they admitted any link to Scientology. Asked the question, one of the scientologists on the stand said 'yes', the other ...

The Supreme Court refused yesterday to review the federal government's decision to strip the controversial Church of Scientology of California of its tax-exempt status from 1970 through 1972. The justices, without comment, rejected the church's appeal of a ruling by a federal appeals court. The court, however, will consider a similar issue next term in connection with another case it has agreed to hear, involving whether Scientologists may deduct from their taxable income money spent on spiritual awareness courses. A spokesman ...
