A plant that grows wild on a portion of the prairie is a purple-flowering wild pea, made possible by a spring running through part of the area. A former intern, Kelly Kindscher, explained how Yarrow and Eechinacea, two prairie plants, were used by Indians in the region for medicinal purposes. He said Echinacea stimulates the immune system in people. Nina Leopold Bradley spoke about prairie restoration research. Bradley's! father was Aldo Leopold, considered the founder of wildlife biology.

Bradley, a botanist on the Leopold reserve in south-central Wisconsin, said she always wondered why she was fascinated by prairies. "I wondered if it was due to genetics or acquired," she said. "My father had 8 love affair with prairies." Bradley and her husband, Charlie, restored her father's prairie reserve, although weeds had taken over the grounds during 20 years of neglect, she said. It took 10 years to restore the prairie. The Jacksons recently received a national award for their work at the institute to encourage prairie protection.

The program is a private, non-profit U.S. organization dedicated to solving environmental problems worldwide. Avoid (Continued from Page 1) plans to protect Kuwaiti tankers could risk U.S. involvement in the Iran-Iraq war.

Sasser, just back from a factfinding trip to the Persian Gulf, said Iran "will not be cowed into submission by a simple show of U.S. force." "Clearly this is not the time to be thoughtlessly tempting a country itching for an opportunity to again humiliate the United States." Sasser made the remarks in the Democrats' weekly radio address.

British researcher claims bodies of 4 aliens found 40 years ago Snapp By Scripps Howard News Service The bodies of four aliens from a crashed flying saucer were recovered 40 years ago, according to a government "document" recently obtained by a British researcher. A bitter debate now is likely to develop among UFO experts over the existence of a mysterious committee, code-named Majestic-12, which supposed to have examined the aliens. The top-secret briefing paper claims that then CIA Director Adm.

Roscoe Hillenhoetter reported that "although these creatures are human-like in appearance, the biological and evolutionary processes responsible for their development has apparently been quite different from those observed or postulated in homo-sapiens." The document, which The London Observer obtained from Timothy Good, Britain's leading UFO re- searcher, purports to be a briefing paper for President Eisenhower on Operation Majestic-12, also known as MJ-12. Good, in his book "Above Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Coverup," to be published this year, claims that MJ-12 was a committee of senior U.S. officials that investigated and then covered-up news of flying saucer crashes. "I obtained the document two months ago from a reliable American source who has close connections with the Intelligence community. I am convinced of its Good said Saturday.

UFO writer Barry Greenwood, however, has suggested that the document is just a sophisticated fraud. "There are some things that look wrong with the White House memo, for example, it is unsigned. It is just possible that It was manufactured by someone wanting to prove the existence of MJ-12 and then inserted into Air Force Intelligence records which had recently been opened up to the public," he sald. "The hoaxer could then have ordered a copy from the National Archives, which would carry the official declassification stamp. MJ-12 may well have existed, but more research is needed to authenticate the documents." The Eisenhower briefing paper, dated Nov.

18, 1952, claims that the MJ-12 committee had been formed by his predecessor, President Truman, on Sept. 24, 1947, as "a top secret research and intelligence operation responsible directly and only to the president of the United States." The document reports that on June 24, 1947, "disc-shaped aircraft" were sighted in the United States. Paper: Rice's friend sold photos NEW YORK (AP) Donna Rice's friend Lynn Armandt asked for $25,000 from the National Enquirer for a photograph of Rice sitting in Gary Hart's lap, according to a published report. The New York Times, citing an unnamed person with knowledge of the negotiations, said in today's editions that Armandt also said she would sell her exclusive story of the overnight trip to Bimini for $50,000. The photograph, published on the cover of the tabloid, showed Rice in Hart's lap, each with an arm around the other.

The Enquirer said it was Rice, Armandt and William Broadhurst, a lawyer and friend of Hart's. Amy Karan, a lawyer representing Armandt, has denied that her client gave the photos and story to the tabloid. Hart dropped out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination amid reports about his relationship with Rice, a model and sometime actress. The Times said Ialn Calder, editor and president of the Enquirer, declined to confirm the information, saying he promised not to disclose the source or price of the photo. for the rights to the photo, Calder told the newspaper.

Demand was high for the photo, according to Michel G. Bernard, president of Gamma Liaison, which was retained by the Enquirer to market secondary rights to the photo and another picture of the four. Bernard told the Times that Paris Match, You magazine in England and Gente in Italy have acquired rights to the photo, as well as magazines in Spain, West Germany and Argentina. He said at this rate, revenue from secondary rights could reach $100,000 taken during a trip to Bimini by Hart, There was no competitive bidding in a month.
