Fall, 1945 SUN SPOTS Page 8 SUN SPOTS He traveled through the Universe, testing first one world and then another. After many, many years he found the small green planet for which he was seeking -- a land where life was new and the people barely evolved from a state of savagry. On this world, he remained, watching the evolution of mankind. This world was the Earth, and that man was, and is, myself. finis * * * THE TRASH BASKET FLASH!! "The Giant Atom", a novel by the late Malcolm Jameson which appeared in the Winter, 1944 issue of Startling Stories, will shortly be published in book form by the Bond-Charteris publishing company. Mary Jameson, the author's widow, has agreed to terms offered by Oscar J. Friend, who is editor at the publishing firm. Friend, oddly enough, was editor at Startling when "The Giant Atom" was published in that magazine...Sam Merwin, Jr. is currently the editor of Thrilling Wonder and Startling, and has probably inherited Friend's "Sarge Saturn" job. FLASH!! Leslie Charteris, author of the famous "Saint" mystery novels, will publish an anthology of mystery stories in the near future, and several scientifiction tales will be among those to appear....At a recent conclave of comic magazine publishers in New York it was announced that they are completely overstocked on stories with Japanese villains, the sudden climax of the war having caught them unawares.

Manly Wde Wellman, scientifiction author, in an interview published in the February, 1941 issue of Sun Spots stated: "Space travel is possible, perhaps within the next fifty years ... and we shall see practical atomic power in the very near future." The latter part of this prediction appears to have been realized, and the former section also seems in the realm of possibility, a United Press story released August 13 reading as follows: "R.L.
