I am a member of the Queeris Science Fiction League Ladies Auxiliary and have read many fan mags put out by the boys such as Fantasy News, New Fandom, Ad Astra, Fantasy Digest, Spaceways, Scienti-snaps, A History Of Fandom as Jack Speer Sees It,. which I get from Will Sykora. I've also read several of the professional mags and reviewed a story at the QSFL meeting. For a long time I've heard tell many stories about the Futurians, but never could make myself believe them. I always said, *There could not be such a person in the world as Wollhelm, that everyone has him wrong." Why even on the train going to the Philadelphia Conference I said it again, but I must say I am sorry and disappointed to have to say, "Seeing is believing". Now I know that every story I heard told was T̲R̲U̲E̲. You all heard that at.the WORLD SCIENCE FICTION CONVENTION some of the Futurians were being kept out. Then the question arose - Why? I will answer that question, and I am sure that any fan that attended the Philadelphia Conference can too. The Futurians did nothing but heckle and make fun of everyone and everything that was said at the Conference. No one there I am sure will deny that except they, themselves. That in itself was their only reason for wanting to attend the WORLD SCIENCE FICTION CONVENTION. They wanted nothing more but to get in and heckle and heckle the whole day long, as they did in letters and fan mags before the Convention. There is no doubt about that after seeing their actions at the Conference. So don't you worry, the New Fandom Boys knew what they were doing. Then when the questton of a constitution came up, their mouths began to water, and they thought their fun would begin. They were afrald. to hear it or even let the other fans hear it. But finally the fans won on a vote, and it was read by Will Sykora. Wollheim asked for the floor, and when he got it, he turned it over to Leslie Perrl. In this he showed his true character because although he was brave to be interrupting the fans from his seat he had to let a girl speak for him. Miss Perri said they were bored because the constitution was too tremendous for such a fan club like New Fandom. They must have thought it was too big an idea for them to tear apart. It was: approved by a vote of 21 to 13. I am really sorry to feel that they will have less friends after all they did.
