Paste Over Traitors

Germans could buy a queer book last week, the first Nazi Who's Who. Thumbing it through, they found bits of paper carefully pasted over the biographies of Storm Troop Commander Ernst Roehm and other prominent Nazis shot during the "blood purge.'' (TIME, July 9.) In a foreword the harassed Nazi editor explained "Political events necessitated many corrections in this volume, which already had been printed." To reassure prospective purchasers who might be afraid to buy a book containing traitors' names, no matter how carefully pasted over a line of heavy type on the title page announced "THE NATIONAL SOCIALIST PARTY HAS NO OBJECTION WHATEVER TO THE PUBLICATION OF THIS VOLUME."
