Los Angeles Times (California) WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court, rejecting an appeal filed by the Church of Scientology of California to obtain government tax records, ruled Tuesday that the public has no right to get information kept by the Internal Revenue Service. The tax agency "has no duty under the Freedom of Information Act" to disclose internal records, even if names and other confidential information could be easily deleted, Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist said. Civil rights attorneys denounced the unanimous decision, saying the ruling ...

Los Angeles Times (California) A Los Angeles Superior Court judge has ruled that there is insufficient evidence in a $1-billion lawsuit against the Church of Scientology to support charges that two corporations helped the religion's founder, L. Ron Hubbard, plunder church coffers. The action last Friday by Judge Norman R. Dowds undercut a key portion of the class-action lawsuit, filed in December by a group of disaffected church members who claim to represent 400 ex-Scientologists. The suit alleged that a profit-making firm run by high-ranking ...

St. Petersburg Times (Florida) CLEARWATER — Filling rows of a hearing room as if they were waiting for the service to begin, some 25 Pentecostal ministers from as far as Jacksonville came on Thursday to watch their brethren do battle with the property appraiser. To Pinellas Property Appraiser Ron Schultz, it is the proof that they still deserve the exemption. Rev. W.S. Craig, pastor of the Apostolic United Pentecostal Church in St. Petersburg, said he went for 31 years without having to justify to the ...

Los Angeles Times (California) L. Ron Hubbard wrote the 1950 bestseller Dianetics, the Modern Science of Mental Health . It inspired a layman-oriented mental health movement which developed into Scientology, the most profitable of the money-making new religions. Hubbard was a bigamist who masterminded Watergate-style break-ins. He surrounded himself with adoring teenyboppers, uniformed in mini-skirts, bikini tops and high-heeled boots. He smoked opium and regarded himself as the successor to Aleister Crowley, self-proclaimed "Beast 666." These are but some of the facts about the man uncovered ...

Los Angeles Times (California) Concluding that L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Church of Scientology of California, had "unfettered control" over millions of dollars in church assets, a federal appeals court Tuesday upheld the revocation of the church's tax-exempt status. In a ruling that rejected nearly every argument the church had raised, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said there is evidence that the late church founder held millions of dollars of church funds in private trust funds, Swiss bank accounts and in a ...

Los Angeles Times (California) ST. LOUIS (AP) — A federal appeals court has ruled that donations made by Church of Scientology members as part of their religious practices may be claimed as a federal income tax deduction. The U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that set fees paid by Scientologists during their church's individualized religious practices are deductible charitable contributions. The ruling is contrary to one reached recently by the U.S. 1st Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston, which decided the payments are not ...
