Vanderbilt kin builds airplane and prompts politics mix
A report from Brisbane’s weekly column notes William K. Vanderbilt, great grandson of Commodore Vanderbilt, has built a personal travel airplane while the Vanderbilt line grows apart from railroads. It also lampoons Communist fears, surveys Hopkins on End Poverty In America, and recalls Upton Sinclair, Frances Perkins, and political chatter. The piece mocks sensational claims of mass groups and ends with cultural sketches and a WNU Service tag.
