It was e of the largest chunks of one of |juerica's great fortunes--the railad wealth amassed by Cornelius |inderbilt in the last century. (Fhe young heiress was expected celebrate the event quietly, prob{lly with her nother, Gloria Moriin Vanderbilt, whose cash settle{ent under the same will amounted $500,000. (It was only recently that Mrs. jAnderbilt and her daughter rewed their early friendship, for

Mrs. vanderbilt was the loser in the

court battle and was told publicly she was not fit to bring up her then 11-year-old daughter, 8. Di Cioco’s husband, Pasquale do Cigco, - 35-year-old Hollywood agent, was not expected to join the mild< celebration. He and young Gloria have been estranged since early this year. - In Hollywood on Monday, he laughed when asked if he was going tor send her a present. “That's the silliest question I have ever heard,” he said. “I suppose I will send her some sort of a message, though.” Thomas Gilchrist, the family lawyer, guardian, confidante and spokesman, was expected to be more generous. Although he planned no ceremony to mark the transfer of the Vanderbilt millions to the slim, dark-haired girl, he said he reregarded her birthday as a ‘“personal matter. He would not say, however, what Gloria planned to do with her for-

tune.

It was clear, however, that part’

of the estate would be liquidated into cash, Mrs. Di Ciceo, serious minded and arty though she is, has found it increasingly difficult to live on less than $50,000 a year, Last year she spent $57,132 on hey self, gave her mother $21,000, her grandmother $6,000 and an old nurse. $3,000. She also gave her husband a gold cigarette - case and cuff link set which cost her more than $1,000, paid out $30,000 in taxes, and asked for $8,000 extra to set up a home near an army camp where her husband was then stationed. And even then she fan over the court-approved allowancce and had

to pawn more than $1,000 worth of |

jewelry to meet her bills. This year, instead of getting the allowance that hd§ ranged from $14,000 when she was 17 and unmarried to the $57,132 last year, she can take the full estate income of $137,000 and, of .course, any other cash she wishes to realize.
