vate eye and take him deep into the caves below Los Angeles. The confidential agent escapes finally and reports the cave-dwelling deros to John L. Lewis, who is converting his furnace to burn fuel oil at the time. An allience between Lewis and the dero is suspected but nothing can be proven. The secret agent returns to Los Angeles and from observations taken while in the caves deduces that the deros are taking vengence because of the skepticism of Bixel St. fans. Whereupon, an emergency L.A.S.F.S. meeting is called, and the resulting hot air completely defrosts the Atmosphere . Ackerman is pronounced Kink for a Day, and Tigrina made honorary member of the Chamber of Commerce, several other fanettes becoming chambermaids. THRILLING WONDER incorporates a novel twist by having a sane scientist wreaking havoc by inundating the editorial offices of Standard publications in tons of artifically-produced snow. This in revenge because of a rejected manuscript dealing with a threat to the saftey of the solar system, which plot is natrually copyrighted by Ed Hamilton. But Manly Wade Wellman shows up with John Carstairs, the Botanical Deteckatiff, who sends out a Plutonian Frigi-plant which traces the dry ice particles, and as a finale, freezes the sane scientist into an early grave. All the involved are unharmed except for Sam Kerwin, Jr. who suffered a strained sacro-iliac shoveling snow. FANTASTIC ADVENTURES might do it like this: Chicago is deluged by tons and tons of snow which cuts off all Communication from the outside world, which maybe isn't so bad after all. But Hamling & Geier Literary Productions, Ltd. (toZ-D) goes into action, making notes and trying to figure out what happened. The Junior partners (senior partner is a typewriter) finally discover that all the dry ice in the city had been bought by one Joe Soaks, a FA proof-reader from Missouri who had been deported from that state because he hated pianos. Enraged at his thankless job, he turned as a slikde-line to spirit-RAPpings -- knocking on the floor with emptied liquor bottles. Evicted, he planned a plan of reducing the metropolis of Chicago to a state of Peleolithic primitivity by an excess of snow. But Hamling & Geier, Literary Productions, find Soaks and threated to turn him over to RSSShaver if he doesn't confess. He confesses. After putting him in a padded cell, the one recently vacted by you-know-who, Hamling & Geier, Literary Productions, scouries into activity and soon every trace on snow in the Windy City is gone, due entirely to H & G'S idea of tacking Esquires on every lamp post. Whattaya mean, that ain't fantastic. . . . . STARTLING brings in Captain Future and Futuremen. A secret cult, hipoed up on isolationism, wishes to halt all rocket ship travel by disrupting landing field operations all over the Earth. So, clouds over fields are bombarded with dry ice, and valuable landing equipment is mired in deep snows. Moisture and dry ice are kept coming until not even the fiery blasts (cont. on page 21) ----(Page 6)---
