Earlier today Humphrey con-! ferred with Prime Minister Keith J. Holyoake of New Zealand at Parliament House in Wellington. A handful of demonstrators stood silently outside with signs denouncing the Viet Nam war.

During his arrival in Wellington Sunday from Canberra, Australia, Humphrey's car was rushed by a sign-swinging demonstrator who was hurled back by police. In Canberra the previous day about 150 demonstrators called Humphrey a "warmonger."
