                The Burroughs bk "Tarzan the Invincible" was banned recently in Brazil, if our memory of the newsitem (which we foolishly forgot to clip & file) serves us rite, because it was considerd Communistic!
         Robt Bloch, of "Fun-tasy" fame, has collabd on what he describes as "a unique bk that never will sell & is written wholly for our own personal pleasure, a strange & esoteric novel of 75,000 words." The story, Rob reveals, deals with Black Art, an aged sorcerer. It tales of Mr. Stoof, whose body did not reflect lite properly; the experscience fiction humor.

IMAGI-NIK-NAX: 
                           Arthur K. Barnes bellows: " I hasten to call your attention to a terrible & unkind error in the Dec 'Madge'. Hank has the terrific brass (when he's 35 miles away from me) to say my middle name is Kermit. Why everyone knows a kermit is one of those guys who lives in the Hollywood hills barefooted & coverd with lice. Now, my stuff may be lousy, but I do got shoes, & I brand the accusation as a gross insult & a vile canard!
                   "I also denounce Henry Kuttner as a thushol & dare him to publicly split an infinitive with me... Now let's see---what was this beef about? O? yeah. My middle name is Kelvin. Lord Kelvin, of course, was named after me, & that satanic device, the Kelvinator, rates me immortality. Prosit! Excelsior! Woo-woo!"

                        HanKuttner hisses "Mr Barnes objects to being adrest as Kermit. He says, it seems, a kermit lives 'in the Hollywood hills barefooted & coverd with lice.' I am willing to admit Mr Barnes does not live in the H'wood hills; I believe immediately after the publication of his latest story he moved hastily to Tujunga Canyon, wherever that is. His accusations & slanderous comments I shall treat with the scorn they deserve. I refuse his challenge to split infinitives: Long practice has given him the advantage. Nor, in the last analysis, will I admit his middle name is Kelvin. I firmly contend it is Kermit, & that Mr Barnes merely is trying to take advantage of his public, who is a nice fellow but too easily imposed upon. Foo."
