VANDERBILT CASE
WILL Be APPEALED
Mother, Denied Custody of
Heiress, 10, Plans to
Press Claim.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEwNyoRK, November 1s.-The
unexplained decision of Supreme Court
Justice John F. carew in the Wander
bilt-Whitney legal tilt for the custody
Of Gloria Vanderbilt, l0-year- -old
heiress, will be appealed Immediately,
a spokesman for Mrs. Gloria Morgan
Vanderbilt, the child's mother, said
today.
Following the habeas corpus hearing
in which Mrs. Vanderbilt sought to
regain custody of little Gloria from
the childs paternal aunt, Justice Ca
rev announced he had decided the
young heiress would not have for the
future the kind of life she led from
the death of her father until June,
1882. During this period Gloria was
with her mother.
The Vanderbilt spokesman con-
firmed reports that Justice Carew had
decided to allow Mrs. Whitney to keep
the child five days week, Mrs. VAN
derbilt to have her Saturdays and
Sundays. This plan is to be followed
until Gloria Is IA years old, when she
may decide for herself with whom she
will make her home.
Immediate Appeal Planned.
An appeal from Justice Carew's de-
cision, the spokesman said, will be
filed in the appellate division within
the next few days, and if Mrs. Wander
bilt is unsuccessful there, the case will
be taken to the Court of Appeals.
I'VE want a final determination
once and for all" he said. ''The COM
promise the Judge made will result in
hostility, antagonism, hate and the
poisoning of the child's mind against
her mother
Even the religious issue is confused
as Gloria will be in an Episcopalian
(Mrs. Whitney's) home five days a
week and in a Catholic home for two
days"
The spokesman said opposing at
torneys had been asked to submit a
Joint order upon which the court
would base it's formal decision, but
that Nathan Burkan, counsel for Mrs.
Vanderbilt, had refused to collaborate
in preparation of this order because
he felt that his suggestions would be
ignored in the courts decision.
