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

"something is there that we

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

His wife, Elsie, also 33, in

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. . -' -

had done. I had sold her. I
don't even remember what

was placed in the county jail

Bippus said he took the girl
home to Portland, but his wife
made him' return the child

Joseph said he accepted the
money, but was under the im

have her only for one day. He
said he did not realize Bippus
lived in Portland.
"I barely knew him," Jo

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

"I found my daughter walk

have any shoes on, but I did

Asked if he had any idea
