Note: In a 'calls for submissions' note published on page 1 of issue No. 69, Wood wrote, 'In view of the current world situation it seems important to make an attempt to restore CineACTION to its original Leftist roots, which I feel have been to some degree eaten away by the pervasive discouragement and despair of the past decade.' Wood goes on to announce that he would be writing about Salt of the Earth.However, in his editorial note for this issue, Wood announced that he dropped the essay after discovering James L. Lorence's book on the making of the film. Wood also announces in this issue that he is retiring from the editorial board of CineACTION! but he will continue to write essays 'in my own time and at my own pace.'
