Drama Over Custody of Daughter
Reaches Emotional
Peak.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, october 3l.-The
drama of high society being presented
in Supreme Court by the Whitney,
Vanderbilt clans|a drama which be-
gan as a rather spicy drawing room
piece with Patrician soft pedalling
Of feelings-today reached an emo
tional peak.
Mrs. Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt,
who cried intermittently on the wit
ness stand yesterday, faced cross-ex-
animation by counsel for Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney.
Mrs. Whitney is seeking to retain
the custody Of l0-year-old Gloria
Vanderbilt, her niece, contending
that Mrs. Vanderbilt is not q fit
mother for the child heiress.
Mrs. Vanderbilt is fighting to show
that she has not, and will not, shirk
her maternal obligations, and to dis
prove the testimony against her char
acter which has been given BY several
witnesses for Mrs. Whitney, sculp-
tress and art patron.
Accompanied by a trained nurse,
pale and weak from heart ailment,
the attractive young widow went into
the closed court room of Justice John
F. Carew yesterday for examination
by her attorney, Nathan Burkan.
Through the court room window,
which affords spectators a silent ver-
sion of the proceedings. Mrs. VAN
derbilt was seen to weep on the stand,
at length when she was shown a pic
ture of her daughter.
Some one asked her, when she left
the court, II she thought she would
be able to stand the strain Of fur
ther questioning. To this she replied:
II will collapse only when they give
me my baby"

Reliefer Hopkins received private
letter the other day on the stationery
Of THE New Deal Burying Society, u
whatever that is. The letter sug-
gested that Mr.. Hopkins brother, who
is running for coroner on the Repub-
lican ticket in Washington State, was
taking advantage Of his opponents
by kissing not only the babies, but
the nieces, nephews. uncles and aunts
of the district. The letter writer
urged q curb on such excessive oscu-
lation.
The New Deal has a literary style
book for stenogs. 1t tells what words
to use and taboos others. One of
the taboo words Is communication, "
the book urging the word letter
instead because 1t Is shorter and
snappier.
You may have noticed that Mr.
Farleys secretary was not fired for
making that mistake in sending an
Endorsement of Upton Sinclair. It
gave Mr., Farley a chance to correct
the mistake publicly. Somehow or
other. Mr.. Farley's secretaries are
always making the right mistakes.
