Deputy Gregory Strasser, a National Socialist member of the Reichstag opposed to the Hitler wing of the party, today revealed the existence of a contract between Hitler and Karl von Weigand, representative of William Randolph Hearst, by the terms of which Hearst agrees to pay Hitler one dollar a word for each word used in Hearst interviews provided the interviewer is not a Jew.
Inquiries at the New York office of the Hearst organization elicited the reply that nothing was known of a contract such as the one mentioned by Deputy Strasser.
