President's Message (continued) I sincerely trust that by next time sufficient data will be available so that definite conclusions can be reached. Respectfully yours Dunk Walter Dunkelberger President of the NFFF EDITORS MESSAGE Naturally it will be impossible for me to continue my FAPA publishing, be a Foundation Board member, plan the Philadelphia Conference for October 27, plant he big convention for next year, pursue the toughest schedule of studies devised by that institution of torture, the University, and at the same time put out this publication. Therefore the next issue will be my last. One of the problems that this organization is beginning to face is the unweildiness of a membership approaching 200. It's a lot of work for the small nucleus who does all the work, and especially for the poor jerk who publishes the official organ. The publishing work should be split. Re the Pacificon and the NFFF controversy: Let's straighten things out. Most of the trouble has been apathy among the oldest fans in general due to the inability of the NFFF to get anywhere or do anything. Let us make no bones about it: in April and May there was a definite feeling among many fans that the NFFF was on the rocks and that we just ought to call the whole thing off instead of prolonging the agony. It so happens that three of the fans who had that feelinng were NFFF Board members. They think it amusing that to express their feelings should be called "treason." The membership list in the last TNFF showed that the club was unexpectedly strong, so that to minimize bad reeling the fans in question decided not to press any action at the Pacificon, aside from debating the question of dividing the convention profits. The conclusions of the convention regarding the NFFF may be summed up: The Foundation will go its way and the NFFF will go its way, and the two will not conflict. The convention profits (about $150) will be divided equally between the Foundation and the NFFF. This is an indirect vote of confidence in the future accomplishments of the NFFF. At the same time the convention exonerated Laney from suspicion of treason, following a complete discussion of the events leading up to the charge.. The vote on Laney was almost unanimous, 2
