MURRAY LEINSTER
TO SPEAK AT ESFA

CLUB APPROVED AS "EDUCATIONAL"
  BY NEWARK SCHOOL PRINCIPAL

Feb. 14 (CNS) Sam Moskowitz, Director of the Eastern Science Fiction Association, officially announced that Murray Leinster, reknowned author of science-fiction would speak on the subject: Science-Fiction: Show Window of Tomorrow at the next, March 2, 1947 meeting held at Slovak Sokol Hall, 355 Morris Ave., Newark, New Jersey, at 2:00 P.M.
   Murray Leinster is really the pseudonym of Will F. Jenkins, slick author whose short novel Atoms Over America which appeared as a 2-part serial in Argosy in 1946 was reprinted in book form by Crown Publishers recently under the title of They Murdered the U.S.A.  Under the Leinster nom de plume, 2 other books, Murder Madness and Scalps have been published in the past.
   The name Leinster first appeared under a science-fiction story titled Atmosphere in the Jan.  26, 1918 issue of The Argosy Weekly.  But it was the follow-up stories The Mad Planet, Red Dust and The Runaway Skyscraper which really-established Leinster as one of the leading authors in that genre.
   Through the years, Murray Leinster has appeared in almost all the leading science-fiction periodicals, his tales Proxima Centrau, The Mole Pirate, The Fifth Dimensional Tube and Sideways in Time receiving particular acclaim

  The cover illustration for The Star Rover has been received from FFM by the Philcon Society.  It will be part of the prize for the Big Pond Fund Raffle.
   The Philcon Society has just topped the 100 mark.
   Because of the difficulty in obtaining a meeting room the QSFL was forced to cancel its Feb., 1947 meeting.
   There will be an informal meeting at the Director’s home, 31-51 41st Street, Astoria, at 3 P.M., Feb. 16, 1947.
   Sam Moskowitz will spend the week-end of Feb. 16, 1947 at the David H.  Keller’s going through Dr.  Keller’s unpublished stories.
   Paul H. Spencer announced that he has received permission from Dr. Keller to have the NFFF reprint The Sign of the Burning Hart.  This is one of the rarest of Keller’s works, having appeared in a limited edition of 100, only 85 which were sold in this country.  Copies command-upwards of $15.00 for it is one of the most beautiful and literary of all of Keller’s works.  Its poetical prose is of such excellence that “literature” comes to mind when one reads it.
   Bob Tucker’s Fanzine Index is out and for the asking from Tucker.  This is a real service to Fan
