LOUIS MANY ACCOMPLISHMENTS In the last tw o issues of Life, the nell' US CF President, Fred Cramer, has reported on regional organization, and the competent group of ~'olunl ee r workers enlisted to su pport the new admi nistration in its drive to spread the go~ p el of chess into every corner of the nation. Else­ where in this issue appear the offcially ,Lpproved minutes of the Mem· bership Meeting on Au gust 11, 1960, and the meetings of the Directors on Au gust 12 and 13, 1960. One of the more interesting items discloses plalLs wh ic h are already being implemented to bring into being a new CHESS LU' E,-with a dif­ ferent fo t' mat, a different editor, improved "sli ck" magazine stoc k paper, and a non·member subscriptio n price of $4.00 a year. In short, as South· ern Chess Association Secretary, Robe rt Eastwood, wrote in his organi­ zalion's annual rcport, recently released, CHESS LIFE will become "a quality monthly news report rather than a bus h·league semi·monthly." Other accomplishments of the Ilew administration were the adl}p­ tion of a new set of by·laws. And the unanimous adoption of a resolutil}n tl} the effect that "all tournaments sponsored by the United States Chess Federation must be conducted at such a site that accommodatil}l1s and the right to play are open to all United States Chess Federation Mem· bers ," ' regardless of race, creed , or national origin. The November 20 issue of CHESS .LIFE will carry the text of the new by-laws, plus an explanation of some of their advantages, written U. S.
