The Supreme Court of the United States granted a petition for a writ of certiorari concerning the case Corinth Publications, Inc. v. James P. Wesberry et al., reversing the judgment of the Supreme Court of Georgia. The Chief Justice expressed support for granting the petition and setting the case for oral argument. Justice Clark also favored granting the petition but would affirm the lower court's ruling. Justice Harlan maintained his previous views as articulated in separate opinions related to obscenity and free speech cases, indicating he would affirm based on the reasoning from those opinions.
