Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr., who for several years has been looking for a Number One spot somewhere other than in the social firmament, finally has achieved his goal, he told the Jewish Daily Bulletin yesterday.
The young dilettante in a dozen different fields has been endowed with the title of Germany’s non-Jewish American Northeastern Seaboard Public Enemy Number One (Yorkville included), he blushingly confessed yesterday.
Production of the film, “Hitler’s Reign of Terror,” and authorship of an anti-Nazi article in a recent issue of the Red Book, he said, have incurred the official displeasure of Goering and Goebbels.
His photograph, which has gathered large quantities of dust in countless newspaper morgues throughout the United States, is prominently displayed in the Reich, he declares.
It may be found on Berlin telephone poles, on rest station walls and in other public places, he says, along with the following notice in bold type:
“If you see this man in Germany, please report him immediately to police.”
His authority for the above story, be asserts, is a close personal friend, who recently returned from a business trip to Germany and who will not allow his name to be printed for economic reasons
