THE MANUSCRIPT BUREAU

Because this column was ommitted last issue we give it double space this number. For that reason and for the other important reason that the bureau is in really desperate straits. 

In theppast few months new, large, fan magazines have sprung up without notice. As has been New Fandom's policy in the past we have helped them indiscriminatly. Supplying enormous quantities of material to assure their success. In the past six months New Fandom has supplied twenty four fan magazines with over 200 single spaced large size, pages of material! A tremendous amount. And because in the past six months our official organ has not been appearing regularly, the supply has been gradually dwindling until it is at the lowest point in the entire history of the bureau! As this issue goes to press we have enough material left to [aid?] two fan mags and we have four urgent requests on our desks. We send out a frantic appeal for material. IF WE DO NOT RECEIVE A BOUNTIFUL SUPPLY OF MATERIAL AT LEAST FOUR AND POSSIBLE MORE NEW FAN MAGS WILL COLLAPSE WITHIN THE NEXT THREE MONTHS!

Have you ever tried to write? No? Well, for gosh sakes there is no time like the present. Stories, articles, poems, columns of any length or characteristic can and will be placed! We have placed every item ever sent us! A one hundred percent record! Fan mags editors who have material that they can never use, send it to us. You may need material some day. and have to call upon the bureau. There are very few fan mags, about 10% of the entire number existing today, who have not had to call upon the resources of the Manuscript Bureau. If you can help it now, and help your fellow fan magazine editors who are much less fortunate. Contribute.

In the past few months the bureau has sent material to :
SCIENTIAL, Published by Tom Hoguet. Material by Peter Duncan, Nils H. Frome, Robert G. Thompson, Sam Moskowitz, Erle Korshak & Julius Unger, and a number of others.
FANFARE. Published by Francis V. Paro has been sent material by Sam Moskowitz, Harry Warner, Nils H. Frome.
STUNNING SCIENTIFAN, Published by J.J. Fortier, has been sent material by Sam Moskowitz, Nils H. Frome & Robert G. Thompson.
FANTASEER, Published by Bill Groveman, has been sent material by Sam Moskowitz, Wilson Shepherd & Robert W. Lowndes.
THE SCIENCE FICTION COLLECTOR, PUBLISHED BY [J]ohn V. Baltadonis has received material by Sam Moskowitz, Peter Duncan, Nils H. Frome,
COSMIC-SCEINTI-TALES, Published by John Giunta, has received material by Sam Moskowitz, Peter Duncan, Nils H. Frome, Harry Warner, Jack Speer & others.
CUTRE', Published by Franz J. Litz, has received material by Sam Moskowitz, Harry Warner & Gene Alfred Duane.
FANTASY DIGEST, has received material by Sam Moskowitz, N. Ricutner, Walter Sullivan, Gene Alfred Duane.

Minor contributions, of one or two items, were sent to Fantasy News Quarterly, Fantascience Digest & Scienti-Snaps. In some cases these were not asked for, but were voluntarily sent without notice by the Bureau head because they belong in these magazines. The above list is far from complete. But should give you and inkling of an idea of just how much material has been passed along in the past few months Thanks is particularly due to Ray Van Houten, for sending along items by himself and Pete Duncan for distribution. To Sullivan, Warner, Gene Alfred Duane, Thompson & many others who have helped.
