Pursuing Officers Fi Search Pressed In Brea Hills Oil Leases Spurring the hare and hounds pursuit of William Francis Rupp, 18-year-old ranch hand wanted for the slaying of Ruby Ann Payne, 15, last Friday afternoon Rupp's battered Ford coupe was found abandoned this morning in a lemon grove, on Brea Olinda road, a mile and a half east of Brea Olinda high school. The Orange county sheriff's office immediately pressed a vigorous search of the area by ground and air, Sheriff James Musick taking personal direction of the hunt at the scene. Rupp's 1937 model car, positively identified at Barstow Sunday afternoon as he doubled back and forth on his winding trail, presumably came to the end of it's endurance last night or early today as Rupp returned close to the scene of the brutal sex murder. At Barstow, the car was reported to be giving Rupp considerable trouble and appeared to have little mileage left. Locality of the grove where Rupp's car was discovered shortly before 9:30 a.m. today, is within five miles of Yorba Linda, where sumably came to the end of it's endurance last night or early today as Rupp returned close to the scene of the brutal sex murder.

Percy Dyer, 5421 Highland ave. A first report of the abandoned car came from the Union Oil Co. research laboratory, located not far from the scene. A sheriff patrol car with deputies, Don Earl and Ralph Curiale went to the spot and made positive identification. Sheriff Musick and undersheriff Steve DuHart headed a group of officers into the area and started the man hunt. Captain Gene Thomas and a squad of the sheriff's mounted posse were at the scene shortly afterward and began scouring the nearby hills and canyons. Two planes, one from Fullerton and the other from Ontario, took to the air for a scout of the district.

Dwight D. Eisenhower says "the outlook is not too bright" for a durable world peace unless Americans gain a thorough understanding of the complex problems involved. The Republican nominee told a news conference late yesterday he'll touch on the subject in every campaign speech. "The great subject of peace and how to obtain it," the general declared, "overshadows all other subjects because it affects all others." But efforts of newsmen to draw out details of Eisenhower's campaign plans got nowhere. The GOP standard bearer did say he expects to speak in Philadelphia but that no date has been set. He repeated he will campaign in traditionally Democratic Dixie. And, in response to a question, he said no speech yet has been scheduled for Labor day. He indicated, however, that plans may be completed after a current round of conferences. Yesterday he met with Southern backers and with Republican farm leaders in congress. Last night, Arthur E.

Los Angeles Appeals Housing Decision to U.S. Supreme Court WASHINGTON. (UP)—The city of Los Angeles has asked the U.S. supreme court to reverse a California supreme court order requiring the city to carry out a public housing program. The city council has endeavored to withdraw from the program and won approval of its action in a public referendum. However, the housing authority of the city of Los Angeles opposed the withdrawal and won a state supreme court ruling that the city could not drop the project. The program calls for approximately 10,000 dwelling units. The city in a petition filed with the highest tribunal contended the state supreme court had erred: 1. In holding that the federal independent offices appropriation act of 1952 does not authorize a local governing body to reject and thereby terminate public housing projects which it has previously approved; and 2. In holding that the United States housing act of 1937 does not permit a city to terminate a project once the city council has declared a need for the project and given the requisite approvals for it. The petition was signed by Los Angeles City Attorney Ray L. Chesebro. "We believe," Chesebro's petition said, "That the question presented is not only one of first impression but that it is substantial and of great public importance not only in the public housing field but in other fields of intergovernmental relations because of the tremendous growth in recent years of federal grants in aid programs." Chesebro asked that if the court agreed to review the case it also issue an order staying enforcement of the state supreme court decision. The highest tribunal is in summer recess. Action on the petition is not likely before the middle of October. Justice Burton of the supreme court last June 26 refused to issue such a stay.

WASHINGTON (UP)—Tie Energy Commission A series of talks at the White House, running into the late afternoon, was expected to frame the basic pattern for the Democratic effort to put Stevenson into the presidency. One decision of high moment may be on the campaign role of Truman as a retiring president who wants the reins of government to pass to Stevenson. Truman has shown signs of itching to hit the road against the Republicans with "give-'em-hell" speeches of the kind he delivered in his own 1948 campaign. But Stevenson and his advisers are reported desiring that Truman take a less vocal part and play a muted second fiddle to Stevenson. Mrs. Lottie Proud Claimed by Death Mrs. Lettie V.
