Boys Run Away
With $40,000
' CHAMPAIGN, 111., Feb. 15 fP)
Two 18-year-old Chicago high
school boys were on their way
back to Chicago today after
leaving home with nearly $40,
000 because, the father of one of
them said, his son had "a burn
ing ambition to be a newspaper
man."
The boys, Neil Ruzic and How
ard Erdman, were stopped in a
Champaign bus station last night
while carrying the money in a
suitcase and were held without
charge.
Dr. Joseph Ruzic, dentist, ar
rived here this morning and took
charge of the money which po
lice said totaled $38,604.24.
Kupzlc said the boys took the
money from a piano In his home
and that "it represented his. sav
ings from 20 years of dental
practice."
Ho said that his son, a preaa
service part-time copy boy and
sports editor of the St. Rita high
school paper, "wanted to be a
newspaper reporter so badly he
took It upon himself to leave
home with the money."
Dr. Zurlc said he kept the
money In the piano "because I
thought it safer at home than
in a bank."
