Mrs Vanderbilt to Exert Every Means to Secure
 Custody

New York, oct 4-(UP)-The battle for custody of little Gloria Vanderbilt, 10-year-old heiress of a $4,000,000 fortune, will continue to the bitter end. it was understood today.
 Mrs Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, widow of the late Reginald Van- derbilt, is believed to feel that fair ness to herself and her highly placed friends precludes an out-of- court settlement before she has pre- scented refutation to sensational testimony painting her as caring more for drink all night parties and gay companions than for her daughter.
 Mrs Harry Payne Whitney, wid- ow of the late multi-milionaire and sister of Mrs Vanderbilt's late hus- band, was represented as determ- ined having sponsored already re- corded testimony against her sis ter-in-law, to be satisfied with nothing short of complete victory permanent, legal custody of little Gloria.
 Trial of Mrs vanderbilt's applica- ton for a writ of habeas corpus tO regain CUStOuy OL tuc CAAiu, will be resumed Friday with Mrs Laura Fitzpatrick Morgan, widow of Harry Hays Morgan Q we'll known diplomat, and mother of Mrs Vanderbilt, as witness. Mrs Morgan already has testified that she regarded her daughter an im- proper parent and believed Gloria should be given into the custody of Mrs Whitney.
 Supreme court Justice John F. Carew, was understood to have consulted both sides on the ques- ton of hearing further testimony privately, but Mrs Vanderbilt's s counsel was represented as de- manding all public sessions hence- forth on the ground that it would be unfair to her since Mrs Whit ney's side was public, for her refu- tation to be secret. Justice Carew was said to have agreed to resum- ing public sessions.
 X He cleared spectators and the press from the courtroom 04ile Marie Callot, Mrs Vanderbilt's Gls- charged maid, was giving senG3- tional testimony concerning Mrs Vanderbilt and Lady Milford Ha- ven, British noble woman.
