HITLER’S BOOK
PUBLISHERS AT LAW AMERICAN COPYRIGHT WASHINGTON. Oct. 24. The Supreme Court has refused to interfere with the injunction granted by the Lower Court restraining Stackpole and Sons from publishing Hitler’s book, “Mein Kampf.” Stackpoles had contended that the Houghton Mifflin Company’s American copyright was invalid, since the German publishers described Hitler as being “Stateless” in 1925 when the application for copyright was made. The Lower Court ruled that such an interpretation of the law would mean that the United States was “putting another obstacle in the way of the survival of homeless refugees, many of whom were scholars and writers.” Mr. Justice Frankfurter, the only Jewish member of the Supreme Court, did not participate in the Supreme Court decision.
