Dit werk bevindt zich in het publiek domein in de Verenigde Staten omdat het gepubliceerd werd (of geregistreerd bij de U.S. Copyright Office) voor 1 januari 1930.

Works copyrighted before 1964 had to have the copyright renewed sometime in the 28th year. If the copyright was not renewed the work is in the public domain. No renewal notice found for the National Editorial Association/Associated Press and the Detroit News etc. for items published in the year 1927. For instance I can find a renewal notice for the New York Times for this year. If you find a renewal notice under a variation of the name of the publication, or a successor name of the publication, or any other evidence to the contrary, notify me and I will delete this.
