Part of the gang went down to the station bus to see Morojo off to Phoenix and part of the bunch went over to a wild Malt place to have a couple of hamburgers and coffee. Tea, Malts, what have you. Even a minor crap game went on sub-rosa/ That's about all. Enough, huh? **************************************************************** WRANGLINGS BY WENTWORTH A slightly shriveled bouquet of onions to Harry Jenkins. This chap has been holding up Walt Daugherty's SHANGRI-LA RECORD PROGRAM for ove one year. You will doubtless recall the bits of publicity which got around fandom concerning this album ofrecord, which was scheduled to go on a planned route. During the first time that Gilbert and Jenkins had the records in their possession Walt wrote innumerable letters asking for the album, which, incidentally, is worth a tidy sum. Not only did Daugherty go to great expense to produce the record album, but he also included several discs which are irreplaceable. E.E. Evans, whose views are respected by Fandom has said of this recorded program: "It's the finest thing in fandom today." Despite Walt's pleas and his offering twice to pay to have the records sent back to him, Harry Jenkins has held on to them with a firm clutch. The last word from Jenkins (dated March 21st 1943) claimed that the records would be mailed the following Saturday. That was Five months ago. Walt, with his affable nature, would doubtless not become vehement if it were not for the fact that many fans have been waiting all this time to listen to the album. The ablum was routed so that it would reach every prominent fan center in the U.S. therefore, for Walt, and for the fans who haven't had a chance to hear the records, we offer a rousing Bronx cheer to Harry Jenkins.........................Wentworth Johnson ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - DE PROFUNDIS AD ASTRA - As we go to press, news comes of the death of Abraham Merritt on Saturday, August 21, at his home, the Banboxes, on Indian Rocks Beach near Clearwater, Florida. He had been there only 24 hours on a brief vacation, when he was sticken with a heart attack at noon, and though adrenalin was administered, he died an hour later. The Hearst papers had a big write-up about him on Sunday, stressing his editorship of their American Weekly supplement magazine but also mentioned (with only two errors) his principal fantasy books and briefly describing the wierd curios in his house and a strange experience with a Central American Indian drug supposed to establish communication with the dead. For several years Merritt had been hoping for a vacation long enough to allow him to complete his next fantasy novel (the first since Creep, Shadow! in 1934, which was to have been his finest artistic creation, written without regard for salability.
