TORONTO (CP)--Dr. Morton Shulman says that in one case where his action was blocked while he was chief coroner of Metropolitan Toronto, a top civil servant told: him that instruc- tions came from Premier John Robarts. The premier is mentioned in a 232-page brief Dr. Shulman has been trying to present to the royal commission investigat- ing his allegations of interfer- ence and suppression against provincial officials. He said in an interview Fri- day night he had been upset that the brief had been released. "Tt had been my request that only those portions of the brief which had been heard by the \ commission should be publicly released." The commission hearing ad- journed Friday until Tuesday. Contents of part of the brief were released later. One part deals with the death of Horace Leslie Burnett at the Shouldice Clinic in Toronto in July, 1963. A -coroner's jury heard evi- dence on the death and recom- mended an overhaul of operat- ing practice at the clinic, but the Supreme Court of Ontario quashed the inquest in Sept ber, 1963, because Dr. Shulman had sat in with the coroner, Dr. Elie Cass. Dr. Shulman's brief reviews his efforts te have the ruling apo pealed and to have the clinie change its practices, He says he received a tele- phone call from Frank Wilson, assistant deputy attorney - gen- eral, who told him the clinic had talked to Premier Robarts. He was told by Mr. Wilson, he says, that Mr, Robarts. had issued in- structions to Attorney - General Arthur Wishart that no further action was to be taken. Premier Robarts, in a tele- phone interview from London, Ont., had no direct comment on the disclosure. , "T have no idea what Mr. Wil- son told Dr. Shulman," he said. He would have to get the allega- tions from the commissioner, Mr. Justice W. D. Parker of the Ontario Supreme Court, and see what the former coroner said. Mr, Wishart said in an inter- view that the Burnett case was one which Dr. Shulman spe- cially asked the commission to open for investigation. "All the evidence will be part of a public inquiry," he said. "L do not propose to talk about it." Mr. Wishart dismissed Dr. Shulman after the former chief coroner ordered an inquest into a fire death last month at the Workmen's Compensation Board Hospital in Toronto, against the instructions of Dr. H. B. Cot- nam, Ontario's supervising cor oner. REQUEST REFUSED After Dr. Shulman made alle- gations against his superiors of suppression of inquests and evi- dence, the government ordered the royal commission inquiry. Earlier Friday, Dr, Shulman asked permission to withdraw one of the cases in his brief--a fatal traffic accident which in- volved Donald C. MacDonald, Ontario leader of the New Dem- ocratic Party, but his request was refused by Mr. Justice Parker. The judge said during the hearing that from the number of matters that had been re- ceived, the inquiry would be "going for some time." In an interview during the day, Dr. Shulman said that, if the results of the inquiry is ins his favor, he wants his job back as chief coroner. If the findings 0 against-him, he will go into politics as a Liberal or member of the NDP. John Barnes, an acquaintance of Dr. Shulman's and a business machine operator, told the hear ing that two friends of his had been. frightened by police quese tioning after the workmen's hose pital fire. He and his friends knew that hospital patients drank regu- larly at a hotel near the hospital and he had told Dr. Shulman. 'Watchdog' To Protect Consumers VANCOUVER (CP) -- Can- ada's new department of con- sumer affairs will give the pub- lic a new deal, Registrar-Gen- eral John Turner, the man who Prime Minister Pearson will outline the department of cor- porate and consumer affairs in Monday's throne speech. It will serye as the watchdog of the Canadian consumer and small investors, said Mr. Tur- ner, He told a meeting of 350 Lib- eral supporters the government would propose' persuasion at and regulation only if there is no other way." He said the solution lies in "self discipline and by self reg- ulation by the business commu- nity," because the government cannot protect the consumer, it can only help him protect him- self, Efforts of the new department will concentrate on. educating the consumer as well as con- vincing manufacturers and re- tailers to package and advertise goods in a manner that will en- able the consumer to make in- telligent choices, he said. ©» Mr. Turner said however, there will be no interference with the creative inter-play of the market place. He also said son Rockefeller and his wife flank Canada's Prime Min- there would be no likelihood of federal price controls. Eight Women Killed By Cong SAIGON (Reuters) -- Eight Vietnamese women and 16 chil- dren were shot and killed when caught up in a Viet Cong attack on a Mekong Delta administra- tive centre early today, a gov- ernment spokesman said.

Mr. Paisley, whose two-day visit here is sponsored by the Canadian Council of Evangel- ical Protestant Churches, is on a six-week tour of North America. He spent 90 days in jail last year for refusing to be bound over to keep the peace after his followers caused a disturb- ance in a Roman Catholic area of Belfast. "I'm happy to be here," Mr. HIRED HALL BUT HECKLERS CAME TOO Paisley said to start his talk. "We're not happy to have you," some of the aydience replied. "Take your bigotry back to Ireland," others suggested. "This is our meeting,' Mr. Paisley told a crowd of 1,800. "We paid for the hall. I'm used to the attempts of the organized agencies of Roman- ism to silence Protestantism. Our forefathers survived worse persecution than this and we'll survive too." A woman shouted that she hoped he wouldn't survive and she was ushered out of the hall. A few other hecklers also were ejected.

Fireman Faces Driving Charge BRANTFORD (CP) -- Police Friday laid a charge of care- less driving against fireman Donald Martin of Brantford fol- lowing Thursday's collision of two firé trucks which resulted} in injury to three of Martin's fellow - firemen. : The most seriously injured of the three was Jack Mulligan, 28, who suffered badly crushed legs, broken pelvis and possible internal injuries when he was pinned between the two trucks.

The manager of the service, which goes under the name Expovox, said Friday four of the 75 girls working as opera- tors had to go home on one of the wilder days 'because they couldn't talk any more." Before the big fair opened surgery at. Brantford General| to the public April 28, experts Hospital for the amputation of his left leg at the thigh. Fri- day, he was reported in "poor condition in the hospital's inten- sive care ward. estimated that a maximum of 5,000. calls a day would have to be handled by Expovox. But the peaks have turned out to be 7,000, with Mondays especially rushed, said mana- ger Henry Duggan. Many of the operators vol- unteered to work overtime at the 40 units comprising the Expovox board. At least half of the calls in- volved requests for informa- tion on rooms and the United States was the point of origin of the majority of these. Calls for general informa- tion come to Expovox from Canadian points mainly, espe- cially Montreal. "They include people asking how to get to the Expo Thea- tre or even people calling from highways outside Mont- real asking how they get into town," said Mr. Duggan in an interview. Expovox, operating from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. 'daily, consid- ers informing the telephoning public about the availability of Montreal-area lodging to be one of its main tasks. Its manager said compara- tively few of the calls carry complaints about conditions on Expo's St. Lawrence River site. A chief complaint is about the period callers sometimes have to wait to reach the Ex- povox operators. Or the callers will phone before the morning opening time, not knowing Expovox operating hours, and call back later to beef about getting no answer. When all operators are busy, waiting calls are auto- matically stored, then re- leased as operators become available. Expovox is the telephone supplement to Logexpo, which gives answers to mailed re- quests about Montreal - area accommodations. Forecasts have been that 350,000 rooms will be reserved following information calls to Expovox from both prospec- tive visitors and _ potential room-renters, uring three Winnipeg stars, Christine Hennessy, Bill Maz{in- Viscount and Leo Ahonen. Playing important roles in the week's activities were the band of \the Royal 22nd Regiment, Barbara_ Kelly of -Vancouver, who is Miss Canada, and the Golden Helmets, a 17-man mo- torcycle precision squad from the Ontario Provincial Police.

He told the legislature that four companies with key conces- sions at the world's fair are really "a screen for other ac- tivities" of Mafia underworld figures. Punctuating his remarks with smiles at Justice Minister Jean- Jacques Bertrand, he said: 1, Fleur de Lys Vending Ma- chines, which has "'the conces- sion for all automated facilities at "Expo," is run by one Joe tend the Canada Week Ball. --CP Wirephoto Pope Greets Movie Stars VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Ac- tresses Claudia Cardinale and Gina Lollobrigida, both involved in marital difficulties, were re- celved by Pope Paul today and kissed his ring in an unprece- dented papal audience for mem- bers of show business and the press. the Montreal bookies." 2.

He was justice min: ister 1964-66. | He-said underworld charac- jters evidently took advantage of the system of awarding conces- sions by the Canadian Corp. for ithe 1967 World Exhibition, GOT AROUND SYSTEM He said the corporation ap» parently has a rule stating that no one with a criminal record can be awarded a concession, but that criminals got around this. For example, four organiza- tions would apply for a particu- lar concession. Three would be eliminated automatically be- cause backers had criminal rec- ords and the fourth, which was really a front, would get the contract. Asked to elaborate when the session ended, Mr. Wagner said: "I don't want to add any- thing outside the house." Justice Minister Bertrand said police will act on the charges if they are true. "They not only have the freedom to act," he said. "They have the duty to act." In Montreal, Expo issued @ statement expressing willing- ness to co-operate in any invese tigation.
