20 SHORT WAVE SNAPS: A1 (5) Ashley denies it, but he has talked that snappy little widow from Uranus (she owns those diamond mines) into marrying him. Good luck Al --- you'll need it! Bob (6) Madle has emerged from the tic forests of Ganymede , after all these years, tired of playing hermit. He has a beard down to your knees. Needs a bath too. Len Moffatt jumped from (10) up to (5) when he hit it rich with those asteroid mercury pools. There is no truth to the rumor that he bumped off his fellow prospector, Short Frankie (10) Robinson with a pickaxe. Robinson has been seen, alive, making the rounds of the bars , a pickaxe handle protruding from his skull --- but very much alive. He seems to be looking for some one. When the sixty-ninth disarmament council meets next month, the old-old story will pop up again: the alarming rise in the Martian death rate. An increasing number of more or less responsible Martians are blowing their heads off with shortwave guns smuggled in to them. Phil (8) Bronson and Les (8) Croutch know absolutely nothing about any smuggled guns, do you boys? They used their boat for fishing, they say. Jack (9) Speer and Mary (7) Rogers are poof! A.L. (Suddsy) (8) Schwartz made a m int of money via the insurance racket last week when that new telescope collapsed. Some body tinkered wit the works during installation. Suddsy was a mile away. Earth government is going to crack down hard on certain names in the third and fourth brackets within a fortnight, for meddling in the solar motor trade. As Warner (3), and Tanner (3) will shortly learn, a pile of money is all right, but two piles are one pile too many. Yahhh! Prof. (4) Ackerman discovered a new and strange wavelength in recent months, on which unexplainable signals are heard. The Prof has a theory that they emanate from the center of the earth! Why, Prof!!!! For shame. Imagine an intelligent civilization within the earth's crust! What brand do you use, Prof? Yours for better rocket ports and more chocolate in the five --Cuthelbert (6) Jones II NEW YORK NEWS DEPT: Our favorite spy in the big city reports that two things happened to editor Lowndes recently. First, he became engaged to a lovely lady (blonde, it is rumored), and that a taxi laid him low for a time in the hospital. Walking in the clouds, undoubtedly, when he should have been on the sidewalk. MORE: Johnny Michel has gone to work! Hurrah, hurrah! Snagging a job at Columbia Publications (Doc's outfit), he turned over his author's agency to demon damon knight, the gentleman from Oregon. You can find knight at 132 east 30th street, if interested. It is rumored that he is actually intending to read scripts submitted to him, before taking them around to the magazine houses! This is a radical departure from norm !
