| ANTI-NAZI BOOKS BANNED Austria Acts Apparently Under Pressure From Germany Wireless to THE NEW YORK TIMES. VIENNA, Dec. 4.—The govern- ment last night prohibited the sale of several anti-Nazi books, among them the famous Hitler biography by Konrad Heiden and another by Rudolf Olden, and a history of the thirtieth of June, 1934, by Otto Strasser. The measure apparently was forced on the government by pres- sure from Nazi Germany and is considered an indication that Ger- many is attempting to stamp out the activities of German émigrés in neighboring countries. It is learned that similar meas- ures will be taken in Czechoslovakia in connection with negotiations for a. press truce between Berlin and Prague. Herr Strasser’'s weekly with Socialist tendencies has been banned by the Prague authorities and several agencies which supplied the foreign press with reports from Germany have been ordered closed. Germany is particularly anxious to stamp out Czech anti-Nazi litera- ture that is smuggled into Ger- many. The New York Times Published: December 5, 1937 |
