...loaded with honors by the Crown, still rates as perhaps the No. 1 smutty story-teller in a nation of smutty storytellers. Up last week stood Old Tutor Jorga to raise boldly in Rumania's Senate the issue created by His Majesty in continuing to live in open sin with a Jewish wench. To many a U.

Earlier in the week Rumania's great peasant leader, Dr. Juliu Maniu, had given fair warning that he would orate upon royal sin in the Chamber of Deputies.

As a young man he used to make trips to Brighton for the sole purpose of looking at girls' legs as they lay on the beach. For years he periodically bought and feverishly devoured armfuls of French pornographic books. When he first went to Manhattan, penny...
