| − | In 1944 [[FAPA]] had become somewhat cumbered with deadwood and official resistance to change frustrated attempts to get the latter out by tightening [[minac|activity requirements]], etc. By December 1944 the [[Battle Creek]]-[[Bloomington, IL|Bloomington]]-[[Los Angeles]] Axis had plans for an ''anschluss'' in [[FAPA]] well in hand. The [[Futurians]] were to be quashed by a nebulous group, the '''Freedom Party''', standing for strengthened activity requirements and some miscellaneous projects which came to nothing. It was to be backed up by a secret self-perpetuating group known as the Order of [[Dagon]]; this started with the three plotters mentioned above ([[Ashley]], [[Tucker]], and [[Laney]]) and included such folk as [[Walt Liebscher | Liebscher]], [[Jack Wiedenbeck | Wiedenbeck]], [[Saari]], [[Paul Spencer|Spencer]], [[Rothman]], [[Croutch]], [[Perdue]], and [[Ackerman]]. The Order was to implement the Freedom Party program by bloc voting and by presenting all FP candidates for office, and successfully swung its first election. But the anti-[[Futurian]] aspect of the move was frustrated by the [[Little Interregnum]], when the [[Futurians]] abdicated their leadership and withdrew into [[VAPA]].
