-----------------------

   David Vern, Assistant Editor of Amazing and Fantastic Adventures, claims that the story, "Dr. Varsag's Experiment", which appeared in the January Amazing, was based on actual fact. He will present the strange, but true, tale in an early issue of Ad Astra...W. Kolliker is the full name of Astounding's artist....Amelia Reynolds Long was among the winners in a newspaper contest recently....Alexander M. Phillips is an occassional contributor to the various nature magazines such as Bird Lore, etc....Rumors are floating about of  new magazine at Ziff-Davis....Frederik Pohl sold an unsolicited poem to T. O'Conor Sloane almost immediately. In fact, Pohl had the acceptance slip three hours after commencement of writing!....However, it was returned when Amazing was sold to Ziff-Davis....Pohl also has the slowness record. Hewrote a poem, "Elegy to a Dead Planet, Luna" in February 1935, received an acceptance in May 1936, and it finally appeared in the October 1937 Amazing.....Pohl is going to start something like Campell's "Analytical Laboratory" in Astonishing Stories....Ross Rocklynne is in the hospital, seriously ill according to a reputable report....The New York fans are planning a Science Fiction Conference, to be held soon. 

   Three members of the Futurian Society of New York will have stories in the April Astonishing; Dick Wilson has sold "Murder from Mars", and the other two are Cyril Kornbluth and Isaac Asimov. Kornbluth has also sold "Interplanetary Scaverngers" to Pohl for Super Science Stories.....Nary Gnaedinger tells of a woman report from the New Yorker interviewing her, and borrowing her fan magazines. It appears that something is in the wind. By the way, Merritt's "Thru the Dragon Glass" will be reprinted in Famous Fantastic Mysteries in the near future.

   Milt Rothman (Lee Gregor) says he will not be doing much writing in the future....The original title of Phillips' "The Space Flame" in the current Planet Stories was "Earthworms of Space"..... Phil Nowland's "Space Guards" will cop the cover of an early Astounding.....As usual, there is a rumor of a new science fiction magazing going the rounds.
