    Dear Joe,

       The following rumours were instructed to be laid in to the
    CW Sun and the Chamber of Commerce, they were not implemented,today
    as the opportunity to put them in with security was not available.
    They are:

          A conversation was overheard in which some SCNists
       said that LRH was in Europe and that he lived there.  He
       had come to CW to do some photography and records some
       choirs.  He visited churches in the area and did some
       recording and then left.  He was also in the area to set
       up the United Churches operation; but then left to return
       to his home in Europe.

          Current instructions to some friends are that he was
       not here for the setting up of UC, but was here for his
       own relaxation and recording.  As nothing went down on these
       lines it's within the scope of the current plans, which are
       that he was not here for UC purposes.

          This should get laid in to the newsroom of the CW Sun
       tomorrow.  It is doubtful that the Chamber will get this
       data from one of the friends as it would be too much of
       an out-point and jeopardize her cover.

          Monica, an employee at Henry's newsstand heard that
       LRH is in Europe.  Her comment was "How can they serve him
       if he's in Europe; how can they bring him back?"  Monica
       is usually quite friendly, but she cooled off a little
       today.  (It should be noted that Cazares frequents this
       newsstand regularly)

          That's it.

                                 Love,

                           Collections Officer
