State Psychiatric Institue
Has 133 Patients Admitted
The Alaska Psychiatric Insti
tute, Alaska's new hospital for
Alaskans with major mental ill
ness and one of the most modern
of its type in the United States,
has now been in operation since
Oct. 16, 1962. During the first
seven months, 133 patients have
already been admitted, 30 of which
were transferred from Morning
side. Almost every area of Alaska
is represented in the patient popu
lation, since the institute serves all
of Alaska, and it is interesting to
note that no adult patient requir
ing psychiatric hospitalization has
had to be sent outside of Alaska
for treatment since the doors of

Marilyn Monroe's Mother
Flees Sanitarium
GLENDALE, Calif. W — The
mother of the late Marilyn Monroe
fled from the sanitarium where she
has been under treatment for a
mental illness — but was found
today in a church 15 miles away.
Mrs. Gladys Baker Eley, 60, a
figure of mystery for years, was
found missing early yesterday.
Today the Rev. Brian Reed
found her at the Lakeview Terrace
Baptist Church in the San Fer
nando Valley. She told him she
had spent the night in the utility
room of the church, sitting near
I the water heater for warmth.
“She told me she wanted to get
away from santitarium and prac
tice Christian Science teaching,”
said officer James Wilson, who

brought her to a nearby police
station. “She apparently had walk
ed all yesterday, happened on the
church by chance, and took shelter
there.”
Earlier, officials at Rockhaven
Sanitarium feared Mrs. Eley might
be heading for Florida to visit her
daughter there. They expressed
doubt she would try to visit Miss
Monroe’s grave 20 miles away in
West Los Angeles.

| Two U of Alaska
Scientists Outfit Plane
To View Solar Eclipse
Two University of Alaska re
searchers arrived in Philadelphia
to outfit an airplane which will
fly through the path of total
eclipse when the moon hides the
sun on July 20.
Charles Deehr, a physicist, and
Peter Michalow, an electronics
engineer, are building scientific
instruments into the fuselage of
the B-17 with the help of a team
of technicians from machine shops
of Aero Service Corp., owners of
the plane.
Since the B-17 is not a pressur
ized aircraft, the men are able to
adapt it to their needs.
‘‘We can chop holes in the fuse
lage wherever we want,” said
Deehr, leader of the research
team. ‘‘We are cutting windows in
the plane at correct viewing angles
for our instruments, which will
record data about high-altitude
phenomena, particularly the au
rora borealis.” The high-flying
scientists plan to take advantage
of the eclipse - darkened sky to
study auroral phenomena.
The scientists and a four-man
flight crew will go north from
Denver to Edmonton, Alberta,
where they will refuel and await
the eclipse. They plan to observe
j the eclipse from an altitude of
j about 30,000 feet above the Great
j Slave Lake area of northwest
I Canada. They selected this spot
, because it is where the total
solar eclipse occurs within the
area of maximum auroral activity.
They hope to observe and meas
ure new findings about aurora
and other high-altitude phenomena.
This research project is being
directed and sponsored by the
Geophysical Institute of the Uni
versity of Alaska with the aid of a
$50,000 grant from the National
Science Foundation.
