Fights Flare In Paris __ Interest Rate Declines As Humphrey Visits PARIS (CP)--Fighting broke out between police and anti- Vietnam demonstrators today as U.S. Vice-President Hubert Humphrey went from talks with President de Gaulle to the Arc de Triomphe to place a wreath on the tomb of France's Un- known Soldier. A crowd massed around the arch when Humphrey arrived from Elysee Palace and sent up shouts of "U.S. murderers"' and '"'peace in Vietnam."' Some displayed placards with the game slogans. Strong police reinforcements moved in and fighting broke out, but there appeared to be no serious injuries. Police hus- tled the demonstrators, includ- ing a number of students, into several police buses and took them away. The fighting occurred where the Avenue des Champs Elysee joins the Place de L'Etoile, a huge traffic circle. The broad traffic circle separates the Champs Elysee from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where Humphrey placed a wreath. OTTAWA (CP)--The Bank of Canada has moved significantly attacking Humphrey.

FEUDS WITH WISHART TORONTO (CP)--Dr. Morton Shulman, chief coroner of Met- ropolitan Toronto, is in an- other controversy -- this time with Attorney - General Arthur Wishart and the chief provin- cial coroner, Dr. H. B. Cotnam. Subject of the fight is the in- vestigation of the death of Fran- cesco Gualtieri, 30, who died last Friday in a fire at the Ontario Workmen's Compensa- tion Board Hospital in Toronto. Dr. Shulman, who has aroused the ire of politicians and fellow doctors during his career in of- fice, ordered one of his coron- ers, Dr. Elie Cass, to go ahead with an inquest against the or- ders of Dr. Cotnam, who had planned to conduct the investi- gation himself. Dr. Shulman said he ordered Dr.,Cass to conduct the inquest that started Wednesday night because he thought a_ delay might conceal some facts. MUST OBEY Mr. Wishart told the Ontario legislature Thursday: "The chief coroner for Metropolitan Toronto is: being informed that the supervising coroner for On- fario has supervision and con- trol over all coroners and that he must respect the advise and supervision given by the super- vising coroner." But Dr. Shulman said in an jnterview that an arrangement had been made with the attor- ney-general a year ago delin- eating the responsibilities of Dr. Cotnam and himself to avoid jurisdictional disputes. He said part of the arrangement had been that Dr. Cotnam would not COTNAM SAYS HE LIED | Shulman In Hot Seat Again interfere in the. work of the Metro coroner. Dr. Cotnam accused Dr. Shul- man of lying. He said that in a letter this week to the at- torney-general that Dr. Shulman had 'implied that the govern- ment intended to whitewash and suppress certain facts, and, therefore, I was to be the in- strument to carry out this white- washy" He said the death was not he- eing properly investigated by the Metropolitan Toronto coroners until he went to work on it. Mr, Wishart said that while Dr. Cotnam apparently has the power to halt the inquest, now adjourned until.
