Honorary Citizenship Embarrasses Kansas Governor
In Topeka, Governor Guy E. Carlin's staff admitted an honorary Kansas citizenship for L. Ron Hubbard was a mistake. Press Secretary Mike Swenson said the designation has been rescinded after officials learned Hubbard’s identity. The action followed a brochure by a Los Angeles PR firm listing Hubbard among other honored officials. Hubbard’s Kansas tie traces to a Wichita foundation in 1951 and Scientology’s estimated global membership later noted by the Manhattan Mercury.
