Publication of Hoover Book Has
 Been Prevented

New York. Dec 17.-(UR)-Su- preme Court Justice Salvatore A. Cotillo has temporarily enjoined John Hamill and William Faro from further publication of Ham, ill's book: "The Strange Career of MT Hoover--Under Two Flags."
 James K. O'Brien. a former po- liceman, applied for the injunction on the ground that he conceived the idea of the book, to be based on official documents gathered abroad. He charged that Hamill, employed together material, left his employ, pirated the material, and arranged with Faro for its publication.
 Justice Cotillo said his inclina- tion to grant the injunction was somewhat checked" by the fact O'Brisn intended to publish the material himself if he wins tho suit.
 "To employ such material in publicly attacking a persons past life at a time when he is virtually powerless to defend himself, Is un. fair, unsportsYnanlike, and not only serve no useful purpose, but Is detrimental to the public interest" the justice said.
