State and New Haven police today continued the search for two youths who stole a car from the center of New Haven late Saturday night or early yesterday, drove to Derby and allegedly forced a Waterbury girl to accompany them to the Oxford road, in Seymour, where she said she was criminally assaulted. Chief Inspec- tor Joseph Stevens of the detective bureau, to whom the girl told her story Saturday night, said local po- lice had no Jurisdiction in the case.
 The car, property of Arthur H. Lawson, of 36 Ashland street, was reported stolen at 1:l0 a. m. from College and George streets, in New Haven. Shortly before 9 o'clock last night 1t was found crashed through a backyard fence on Portsea street, New Haven. where 1t had been aban- doned by the occupants.

 She told Captain Stevens that she had gone to Derby Saturday morning to visit her brother and sister and to give them a box of candy for her mother, who lives in Orange, for a Mothers day present. She had an injured hand she declared, and fearful that her mother would worry did not visit her. Leaving her brother and sister early yesterday morning, she said, she walked to a street leading to the Waterbury road expecting to meet & friend who drives a truck.
 While she was waiting, a large touring car, later found to be the ono abandoned in New Haven, drew up to the curb. One Of the two occu-
