SUE TO OUST RUSSELL FROM U.C.L.A. POSITION

LOS ANGELES--The Rev. I. R. Wall, Baptist minister, filed suit today against officials of the University of California at Los Angeles to force the ouster of Bertrand Russell, British philosopher, from his professorship.

Former pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church of Fresno, Wall petitioned the District Court of Appeals for a writ of prohibition to prevent the University authorities from paying Russell's salary and to force voiding of his contract with U.C.L.A.

Defendants in the petition included the university Board of Regents, Governor Culbert Olson, Lieutenant-Governor Ellis Patterson Secretary of State Paul Peek, and President Robert Gordon Sproul of the university.

New York Decision Fought

Russell was prevented recently from taking an appointment to a professorship at City College of New York by court action based on opposition to his professed sex morals beliefs. A committee is fighting the case in New York.

"This is distinctly not an attack upon U.C.L.A. nor upon its officials," Wall said in the petition, "but is distinctly an attack upon the works and teachings of Professor Russell, such as 'Education and the Good Life,' 'Proposed Roads to Freedom,' 'What I Believe,' and 'Education and the Modern World.'"

Wall attacked Russell's teachings and books before the Dies Committee when it met here last December, and today's legal action, he said, was the culmination of the fight he began then
