SPACESHIP Issue number Ten--October, 1950. Ten cents per copy, 3 issues 25c. Bob Silverberg and Saul Disken, editors. 760 Montgomery Street, Brooklyn 13, New York. Published quarterly. EDITORIAL [WITH] THIS FIRST ISSUE, SPACESHIP [integrates] a new format and a slightly different policy. No--we haven't yet gone "slick"--.....but we [underlined] have gone into standard size. Increased costs force us, unfortunately, to raise the price per copy to a dime, but we're improving the quantity and quality proportionately. The previous issues of SPACESHIP have been at leas 2/3 fiction. Our new editorial policy will be to limit our fiction [to] not more than 2000 words an issue. At the same time, we now need non-fiction articles on general aspects of science fiction, of almost any length. We will welcome all contributions. [line break] MORE AND MORE, the Moscowitz-Sykera feud has been brought into the national spotlight. We needn't go into the background of the argument between these two old-time fans; the bickering between rival New York clubs has now reached a height of idiocy. Recent developments include Sykora's passionate pleading that the metropolitan fans boycott Moscowitz' Hydra Club Convention last July (Will even sent out printed postcards and telegrams), and the Moscowitz ruling that the members of Sykora's Queens SF League could not join the Eastern SF Association which he heads. On account of this the New York fans have been given a national "black eye" and probably will not see a world convention until the feud is over. Let's call off the battle, boys, and clear the way for a central Metropolitan Science Fiction Club' We would appreciate comments on SPACESHIP's new format. The most interesting of the letters received will be printed in next issue's letter-column, "Soapbox". Let's hear what you have to say! The next issue of SPACESHIP will appear on or before Dec. 15.-- featuring a story by ever-popular Charles Morris, plus the best of our now non-fiction articles. Order your copy now. PAGE
