We have had many distinguished additions to the convention program. Among them is Dr. Hermann Muller, Novel Prise winner in biology, who will speak on LIFE ELSEWHERE AND ELSEWHEN. Speaking in a lighter vein are Robert Bloch, whose topic is "What Every Yeung Spaceman Should Know", and L. Sprague de Camp, • telling us "How to Write a Science-Fiction Story."

Hans Stefan Santesson, editor of the Unicorn Mystery Book Club, has as his topic "Editors: Myth and Reality." Dr. Oscar C. Brauner will review the book Posthlstoric Man.

Added to our board of pseudoscience experts is s—f author Randall Garrett, who will entertain us with his learned discourse on "The Perfect Thermoplastic."

Smith Succeeds Reinsberg FOUL PLAY FEARED IN FIRST COMMISSIONER'S DISAPPEARANCE As Moon On June J, O9OO GMT, First Lunar Commissioner Mark Reinsberg was engaged in a reconnaisance flight over the area near the crater Manners which had been Commissioner! illegally claimed bv a Berkeley, Calif, group. At 0915 the Commissioner’s craft was spotted moving across Mare Tranquillitntis. At 0917 our observatory reported a blinding flash of light, and when the in­ struments were again able to focus,there was nothing left of the Commissioner’s ship but a new crater on the Moon.

Maclear Crater Outpost Station reported that a ship bearing the green trifolium of Den Elven, Gnomen and Kleine Mannern Zukunftroman. Fischsuppe und Marschieren Gesellschaft cf Stuttgart and of Ber­ keley was seen heading north at an untoward pace at approximately 0920. Whether this had any bear­ ing on the case cannot be determined at the present time.

A substantial amount was contributed by one commission member, who modestly preferred to remain anony­ mous, and the amount was doubled by a contribution from C. L. Barrett, M.D., who said: "This will, in only a small measure, reflect my esteem for the late Commissioner Reinsberg. And it is my hope that the rest of the science-fiction world will join me in posthumously hon­ oring him for his job well done."

Speaking officially for the Solar Council, which consists of distinguished entities from every planet, Szugubbzia, of Venus, said of the late Commissioners "A martyr for the cause of order in the Solar System, Reinsberg of Earth will be remembered for his relentless campaign against illegal satelite claims. In joining the rest of the System in honor­ ing his memory, Venus confers upon the late Commissioner the Sevenfold Order of the Golden Plookh."
