CITY OFFICIAL HURT IN CRASH Joel Green, Chief Deputy of the Weights and Measures Department, was seriously injured early today in a mid-town traffic accident. The accident occurred at the corner of 5th and Main Streets. Green was driving through a cross section, when his car stalled in the middle of the car tracks and the trolley car going north turned the Chief Deputy's car over twice. Green was rushed to the hospital, where he is in a serious condition.

The record

No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
