The rabble-rouser was presented a white, orange and blue headdress by Indians of the Six Nations Reserve, near Brentford, Ont. (UPI Telephoto) Something Co re Ta ke Washington - (UPD Somel thing from the hard core of a meteorite that fell on Ken tucky 11 years ago appears to have come alive in a govern ment laboratory. - , . Is it a primitive form of life which originated in space scores of millions of years ago? Or is it an earthly micro organism that somehow pene trated to the dense heart of the meteorite which crash landed near Murray, Ky., in 1950? All scientists know for cer tain about the matter cloud ing their test tubes is that "something is there that we didn't put in." Whatever it is, it resembles primordial organisms found in rocky cores from deep holes drilled (in the earth, by man. These ancient organisms have been revived in nutrient cul Father 'Sells' Daughter, 5, For $4 To Buy Case of Beer Seattle,. Wash., -fflPB- Aug ust Joseph admitted today that he "sold" his five-year-old daughter to a stranger for $4 so he could buy a case of beer. "But I was drunk at the time and didn't know exact ly what I was doing," the 33-year-old British Columbia In dian said in an interview with After You See Your Doctor, Bring Your Prescription To Ufc Mains DRUG CENTRE Thirfty Green Stamps 8 North Central i SP l-TltJ ;, The title is "Never, On Sun day." Homer Thrace, the Ameri can, is looking for-truth amidst the ruins of a great ancient civilization which has fallen. "What went wrong?" he asks. A philosopher at heart, he sees the girl as the symbol of the world's poten tial for beauty, but its addic tion to immortality. When Ho mer looks upon her with de signs that are foreign to her considerable experience, he says: .'' "I want her mind. I want to reform her;" , ,v. ; So Homer makes a strange proposition. He buys two weeks of her time and spends it teaching her to listen to From Meteorite's s L i f e i n La bp r a to ry tures after lying dormant for millions of years. '. The resemblance between them and the organic material from the , Murray meteorite suggested if it suggests anything that life can ex ists in extremely hostile en vironments, whether in outer' or inner space. , Frederick D. v Slsler, micro biologist of the U.

His wife, Elsie, also 33, in terviewed separately because of jail regulations, also said she was drunk at the time. "I'm sorry," said the dumpy woman who is seven months pregnant. "I wouldn't have let it happen if I had known. But I was drunk on beer." Joseph, a bookman who came here from Victoria, B. C, several weeks ago look ing for work in the lumbering industry, said he "barely" re membered the incident. 'This white man asked me if it was all right to take my daughter home to show his wife," the short, stocky man said, fingering the stubble of his beard self-consciously. "I said it was okay if he would bring her back. I asked him for $10. He said he only had $6 or so. We settled for $4 in change so that I could get another case of beer. . -' - "Later, t realized what I had done. I had sold her. I don't even remember what day it was." The Josephs, members of the Malahat Tribe of Vancou ver Island, are being held on charges of ..contributing to the dependency of a minor." The charges were filed in Wil liam Hoar's Justice court and ball was set at $1,000 each. Mrs. Joseph was arrested by sheriff's deputies after Wil bert Fred Bippus, 35, told Portland, Ore., police he had bought the child . in Seattle this week.

When the fleet sails into port, the girl, has a joyous re flex and heads for the front door until the strains of a cello call her back to the new world which Homer has op ened to her. It looks as though the good American has suc ceeded in reforming the im moral foreigner. lj ' But quite by chance she dis covers the secret he withheld ' the money he is using to pay for her time and her books and music is coming from the owner of the town's big bordello. His interest is to put this Independent girl out of business. 'The American hates this bad guy, he tells him bravely, but he takes the envelope full of cash because he wants ev en more to help the girl.

Whether this move ment was the senseless jig gling that all molecules mani fest or something more akin to the motions of living or ganism, they do not know. For many decades, scien tists have been finding indica. tions of organic substance in meteorites from space. In re cent months, a team of New York scientists detected with modern chemical methods substances in an ancient mete orite which they felt could have been produced only by living things. Sisler and Newton' do not claim that the apparently self duplicating matter .from the Kentucky meteorite came from outer space. Terrestrial organisms have a way of pen ertating into the most unlike ly places such as boiling springs, deep earth strata, and even jet aircraft fuel, ' Joseph said he read about her arrest in a Seattle news paper and went to the city jail looking for her. City po lice, knowing a warrant had been Issued for him, called the sheriffs office and Joseph was placed in the county jail also. Joseph said he had met Bip pus in a Seattel skid row tav ern and had invled him to his home, in the heart of a slum area. He said the girl .was sleeping on the daven port, and when she awoke, Bippus thought it would be nice to take her home to his childless wife. Bippus told police he offer ed to buy her, and after hag gling over the price, settled the deal for $4, Bippus said he took the girl home to Portland, but his wife made him' return the child to Seattle. Joseph said he accepted the money, but was under the im pression that Bippus was to have her only for one day. He said he did not realize Bippus lived in Portland. "I barely knew him," Jo seph said. "The next day my wife was going to report it to the police, but I talked her out of it and told her I'd go down to James st. where I met him, and see' if he was still around. "I found my daughter walk ing on the street. She didn't have any shoes on, but I did n't care. I had her back."- , Asked if he had any idea what might happen to him or his wife now, Joseph said: "I hope I can get deported back to Canada.

It seems to raise questions about the whole American foreign air program, which offers im provements, i which urges American standards, which says there is a better way.
