Yearling Whales Are
Being Shipped To
New York Aquarium
NEW YORK, (#) — Two year
ling whales caught raiding sal
mon spawning beds in Alaska
and doomed to execution got a
ijew lease on life, thanks to the
Coney Island Aquarium.
, Christopher W. Coates, the
aquarium director, said an ef
fort would be made to bring the
big fellows here for display.
The whales were obtained from
the Fish and Wildlife Service,
which would have destroyed
them had not the offer come
from the aquarium to give them
a home. "
The job of getting them here
is a big one and a delicate one.
Each whale is eight feet long
and weighs 500 pounds and is ac
customed to being supported on
all sides by water at all limes.
The aquarium has rigged can
vas cradles for the whales, and
rubber bedding will be backed
around them while they are air
bom. It is hoped this will com
pensate for the lack of support
from water and keep the mam
mals’ lungs from depressing.
Dr. Carleton Ray, aquarium
assistant director, is in Alaska
supervising the operation.
A chartered plane will leave
King Salmon, Thursday with
the whales and fly to Anchorage.
There the animals will be placed
in the cargo section of a North
West Airlines plane bound for
Idlewild Airport and due here
Friday.

JNo Prosecution For
Deaths At Morningside
PORTLAND, MB — There is no
basis for criminal prosecution in
connection with deaths of Alas
kan mental patients at Morning
side Hospital here, Dist. Atty.
Leo Smith said Monday.
Smith said he had made an ex
tensive study of evidence gath
ered by a House committee on
government operations when it
looked into the operations of the
hospital which has a contract
with the government for caring
for mental patients from Alaska.
In a report filed last month by
the Democratic majority of the
eommittee, many charges of mis
treatment of patients were made.
The Republican minority report
accused the Democrats of political
partisanship and prejudice in the
conduct of public hearings on the
hospital. Smith said many ac
cusations of mistreatment would
not be prosecuted because the
statute of limitations had run
out. He said that his office,
therefore, had investigated only
the death cases.
