IFrH HEY should have let bad enough

such is the theory Of Hollywood
wiseacres explaining the recent transcont-
mental flight from Hollywood 90 New York.
climaxing in the sensational sckbed reconclia-
ton OF Reggie Vandefbilts widow and her
mother, Mrs Laura Fitzpatrick Morgan
II ended one of the bitterest mother-daugh-
ter feuds Of modern times and was AS uneX-
pected as would be Josef Stain flying 10
Adolf Hitler's sickbed TO say with love and
kisses that all was forgiven and forgotten.
This miraculous feat was achieved by
Gloria Vanderbilt Jr. now seventeen and the
innocent cause of it all when she was only ten.
At the time of the celebrated custody trial,
in New York, seven years ago, little Gloria's
grandmother. Mrs. Morgan. buttered her
daughter Gloria the elder, with mud. TO prove
she was not a Fit guardian for the child
A mother does not spill the beans all down
the front OF her own daughters ermine coat
for nothing. and Mrs Morgan in giving the
reason for such painful revelations, said that
her interest was solely the welfare of her
grandchild
She did not want little Gloria 10 be brought
up in an atmosphere Of cocktail parties and
wld-cyed night club life
Grandma Morgan had her way
The custody Of the ten-ycar-old Vanderbilt
hercss was taken from the mother and trans
ferred 90 her aunt. the wealthy Mrs Harry
Payne Whitney. II seemed like good idea at
the time because there was testimony that the
child hated the "lurid life"
But things failed to work out as they
should In spite Of every advantage such as
the best of education and 'sedate example in
manners and behavior adoescent Gloria
changed from dislike of such things 10 "A

whirwind courtship by marrying the'43-year-
old and divorced Reggie Vanderbilt
When she was only twenty Reggie died
leaving her only a small residual estate. while
the bulk was in trust funds for her baby
daughter Gloria. Jr4 and another daughter
by his previous marriage.
In the custody trial Grandma Morgan not
only testified to her daughters "unftness as
a mother" but, what stung even more said:
Little Gloria was like poor, little orphan.
She was not wanted. 1 do not know of any
time in which my daughter expressed concern
over the baby's welfare or showed any mark
Of affection for her"
Il do not believe she should be in the Gus
tody of her mother who is my daughter We
lived in Paris for four and one-half years and
during that time nay daughter paid absolutely
no attention TO little Gloria She devoted her
self exclusively to her own gay pleasures
Usually she slept until 1 or 2 o'clock in
the afternoon and from that time until the
early hours of the following morning she was
at cocktail parties, dinners and night clubs
Her constant companions were people who led
a very gay life
Frequently she took long trips TO Germany
without leaving any forwarding address l
could not communicate with her During her
absence on those trips she seldom wrote to
me or inquired about the baby"
Among other assertions Of cruelty" was
the charge that the mother pushed the baby
away when she wanted TO come to her When
Mrs. Vanderbilt tried to discharge the nurse
who had cared for the baby almost from her
birth she was reminded that Gloria loved the
nurse and would cry at her dismissal To this
Mrs Morgan said her daughter replied:
Il don't care if she cries and for all care
she can bawl until her eyes bulge and drop out
Of their sockets"
Mrs. Vanderbilt denied all neglect or other
wrongdong and produced witnesses in her
own behalf including her famous sister Thelma
and another, Consuelo, who married BENJAMIN
Thaw. II was chiefly the words of Mrs Nor
gan which moved the court to award the Gus
tody of Gloria for nine months Of each year
to Mrs. Whitney.
The widow was bitter at her mother and
Kept the feud at white heat, long after the
case was over In her autobiography with
out Prejudice" the elder Gloria relates that
Jousts with her mother preceded the famous
custody trial
Only year after she became widowed
Gloria writes that she fell madly in love with
the German Prince Hohenlohe and planned to
marry him. But she understood that marriage
would reduce her daughters income from the
trust fund
At this time according 20 her account. Mrs
Morgan had been established in home Of her
own. with a lavish allowance and that she
threatened to drag you through every bit Of
mud that lies in the Streets if she put her
out of the house
If Mrs Morgan ever made such threat
and she denies II, the old lady certainly made
good to the hilt-c iepial,s autobiography says;
Il was young widow. I had 20 make my
own new life again and wanted most pas
sionately TO live it with Friedel Prince Hohen-
lohel. But there was the child and I sacr-
feed my marriage for her"

Suit Seeks 10 Restore
Old Street Names
In Maryland Area

An injunction suit questioning the
constitutionality of the act creating
the Maryland-National Capital Park
! and Planning Commission was on
file today in the Circuit Court at
Upper Marlboro. Filed yesterday
the suit seeks to prevent further
remaining of streets in the commits
sion's district as well as restoration
of the old names to those streets
which already have been renamed.
J. Frank Lillard, jr., Hyattsville
attorney, and Attorney Robert w
Mccullough of Beaver Heights filed
the suit in behalf of a group of
citizens of the area affected. The
suit challenges not only the validity
of the act of 1927 creating the COM
mission, but also amendments to
the act passed in 1898.
Mass meetings held during the
last few months in Hyattsville have
protested the street remaining pro-
gram, calling 1t unnecessary. Many
county residents have said they were
not consulted in the program and
have complained to various agencies
in the county in their efforts to halt
the remaining program.
