Nom-De-Plumes

Sir,—In the latest (No. 7) issue of Salient, you printed a letter from J. C. Ross, with which I agree entirely. In the same issue, you printed at least three articles I was particularly interested in— Cancer, etc., the Jazz Concert Criticism, and the tragic fresher opinion (complete with Truth-type sales promotion posters). None of these articles had any indication of the identities of their contributors or authors. Why, then, should letters to the Editor be signed by contributors names? The letters to readers from your staff, for this is, in effect, what they are, remain anonymous. Let us, then, have our noms-de-plumes, or sign your articles.—Yours, etc.,

Dennis J. Higgs.

Sir,—I endorse the view of J. C. Ross about nom-de-plumes now being banned in your columns. I shall miss the spark and vitality of Pro Bono Publico and how can True Blue now argue for another increase In fees? Not everybody has the hide of L. D. Austin. Revealed I stand as—Yours, etc.,

M. W. Burt.
