Name Defence (By The CP) Defence headquarters has abandoned, temporarily at least, its search for a flashy new name for Canadian servicemen. Informants say some thought was given to calling servicemen "defenders."

Morton Shulman. Mr. Robarts announced in the legislature that he will name a commissioner certainly a high court judge to "conduct a full, complete and impartial inquiry into the accusations made by Dr. Shulman." Dr. Shulman, an admitted millionaire through financial expertise, has been involved in controversy with senior govern ment officers almost since his appointment to the Toronto post in 1963.

The provincial cabinet passed an order-in-council Friday that fired him because he disre garded the orders of his superior, Dr. H. B. Cotnam, supervising coroner for Ontario. Dr.

Shulman ordered an inquest to go ahead into the fire death of a patient at the Workmen's Compensation Board Hospital in Toronto, against Dr. Cotnam's instructions. This was followed by a weekend of hard words and Mr. Robarts' statement Monday said: The dismissed coroner had made allegations "in regard to the conduct and motives of this government in a general sense. the attorney-general and senior members of the attorney-general's staff." "I do not treat these accusations lightly.

I feel they are accusations that can raise doubts in the minds of the public as to the conduct senior civil servants in the discharge of their duties and as to the mo tives of the government in conducting the affairs of the people of Ontario, and are very de structive of morale. "It would be unwise and the government does not intend to permit these allegations, with the inferences that may be drawn from them, to remain uninvestigated or unanswered. "If we are to have a gov ernment and a civil service in which the general public have confidence then it is necessary that accusations such as these should be either proven or completely discounted." Turn to Page 5 PLAN Milk Go i Again The price of milk and milk products is going up again. Spokesmen for three of Ottawa's largest dairies said today a two to three-cent-a-quart increase in the price of all types of milk appears "inevitable." They said if the proposed 35-cent a hundred weight increase to producers is granted, their only resort will be to pass the increase on to the consumer by raising retail prices. Though the proposed producer increase could be offset by a one-cent-a-quart increase, the local dairies indicated they probably would be raising local prices by two to three times that amount.

The spokesmen declined to elaborate further, or give any indication about when the "price jump may come. But one of the dairy executives said the the next move may be decided at a meeting today in Toronto of the directors of the Ontario Milk Distributors. At least two of the Ottawa dairy operators will attend the meeting. 7-3 FAVORITES NEW YORK (CP) New York Rangers were quoted as 7-to-5 favorites here to capture tonight's third game of their semi-final Stanley Cup round against Montreal Canadians. nq Up.
