The copyright office page is located at
http://www.copyright.gov/records/.  from there, I chose the "Books,
Music, etc." tab which took me to
http://www.copyright.gov/records/cohm.html.  I selected the circle for
"Author" and entered "Betjeman, John" in the white box.  That took me
to http://www.loc.gov/cgi-bin/formprocessor/copyright/locis.pl where I
chose the three listings
BETJEMAN, JOHN (12 items) 
BETJEMAN, JOHN, 1906- (1 item) 
BETJEMAN, SIR JOHN (5 items) 
by placing a check by the listings.  Below that, I clicked the cirle
for "Full Record" and hit Submit which brought up the copyright
records shown above.  The page where the listing appears is located at
http://www.loc.gov/cgi-bin/formprocessor/copyright/locis.pl


Should you need clarification on my method, please request it although
I performed it twice to be certain I didn't omit any steaps.  :) 
Thank you for the opportunity to answer this question.

Dear Dallius,

As Journalist shows at his/her item 4, John Betjeman's publisher here
in the UK was generally John Murray (see
<http://www.johnmurray.co.uk/>), now part of the Hodder Headline
group.  You could do worse than start by contacting them: details of
their agents around the world are at
<http://www.johnmurray.co.uk/jmurray/international_agents.asp?TAG=BZM4WX89882887X98VFBZA&CID=jmurray>.

I hope this helps.
