GLEASON READ ABOUT UFOS

A look at Jackie Gleason's personal library gives new meaning to the phrase "to the moon, Alice." Some 1,700 of the 3,700 books in the late Gleason's collection deal with UFOs, the occult and parapsychology. The collection is to be officially presented to the University of Miami library by Gleason's widow, Marilyn, Oct. 25. Mrs. Gleason gave the books to the school because she wanted them to stay in the area where the Gleasons had lived for many years. The collection also includes joke publications, books on shooting pool and playing golf and many entertainment books, including volumes autographed by Tiny Tim, Bob Hope, Ethel Merman and George Jessel.
