Inc entally, John's writing
a new book, slanted toward
persons who know little or
nothing about Dianetics or
Scientology. Light on theory and long on exercises
to get people into "practice at being well" instead
of catering to their aches

the Hasites, has shaved the
hirsute parenthesis from
his upper lip. There are
those who say he looks real
pert, too... Albert Ruffstickler, once a part of
the Dianetic scenery in
Phoenix, is in the Army's
medical corps, and after a

[-"Meters Will Get
Wider DistribtAion
The E-Meter (Electropsychometer), which until a
few months ago was almost
the "badge" of the competent auditor, shortly will
be placed on the market on
a competitive basis, Volney
Mathison, inventor, of Los
Angeles, has revealed. The
73 patent claims, granted
and pending, he says, and
covering hundreds of possible models and designs, are
being placed in a patent
service pool and the circuitry made available to
"any, competent manufacturer
on a non-exclusive basis".
Already, Volney says, one
license has been issued to
the International Equipment
Corp., which is expected to
manufacture a line of instruments virtually identical to those produced in
Volney's own factory.
This placing of E -- meters
on the market on a competitive basis may help to correct two situations -- - the
fear of "loyal" Hasites to
use the instrument in their
auditing because of the ban
placed on their use by the
Phoenix organization, and
the high prices asked by
the Concept Therapy Institute, which recently took
over exclusive distribution
of the instrument.
Mathison, in announcing
the patent-pool, also disclosed that he is dissatisfled with so-called classes
it Electropsychometry that
have been conducted throughout the country, and probably will organize classes
under his own organization.
These may be conducted by
Mark L. Gallert, whose work
with the E-Meter and writ.
ings on the subject, are
widely known among therapists.
