Tentative plans include a trip to Sullivan County, N.Y. to trace still further his family tree. A visit to R.D.

GROO BECK WILL TAKE OVER THE "FUTILE PRESS" IN CLAIRES' ABSENCE (Special to FN) Groo Beck announces that in Claires' absence he will take over all branches of Futile publishing. He states that he printed most of the last issue of the "Critic"; and the greater part of Lovecrafts' "Commonplace" Book. The Futile Press plans to mimeograph "Leaves" irregularly as an '80 large size paged publication, featuring fantasy. One issue of this publication edited by Barlow has already appeared. Other Futile press plans include the reprinted of that famous book of poetry by Clark Ashton Smith, known as "Sandalwood" and in adition, the equally famous but hitherto unknown "Incantations." There are books of fantasy by Howard and Lovecraft planned besides a surprize volume by E.A. Edkins. CORWIN F. STICKNEY TO RESUME PUBLICATION OF "CORRESPONDENT" THIS FALL (Special to FN) Corwin F. Stickney states that he expects to have plenty of time to continue his publishing of the "Amateur Correspondent" this fall and that his subscribers need not worry about the fate of his publication. Stickney also informs us that the library in Pennsylvania, which collects amateur publications, wrote him asking for a complete file of the Amateur Correspondent. The letter was decidedly complimentary. The "Correspondent" has material by Keller, C.A. Smith, Widner, etc on hand for publication. OUR OVERFLOW by Sam Moskowitz A complete account of Becks' trip appears elsewhere in this issue, so there is little need to enumerate. Suffice it to say that Claire is a most decidedly fine fellow. Some of his experiences, as he related them to me, are most amazing. Nothing like them has ever been encounted [encountered] in the science-fiction fan world.before. I am dedicating a special essay to Becks feat and besides will have Beck prepare an explicit, detailed account of his journey for my remarkable new organization, NEW FANDOM! Very soon you will read a stupendous announcement in "Fantasy News" regarding this startlingly original organization! Even Claire Beck, conservative that he is, waxed enthusiastic over the plan, pledged his support and nominated it as one of the few worthwhile fan endeavors he has ever enccounted [encountered]. Corwin F. Stickney enthusiastically proclaimed it as one of the finest ideas he has ever seen. Watch for full details VERY SOON... Clark Ashton Smith announced his "Maze of the Enchanter", a story which originally appeared in his booklet, "Double-Shadow and other Fantasies", will be reprinted in Weord [Weird] Tales shortly... Clyde Beck has graduated, after taking a four year college course at Reno, Nevada, and is doing research work for the University of California... Kenneth Sterling, old time fan, and author (Continued P. 3, Col. 1)
