Wirephoto Senate Passes Anticrime Measure New Rioting Swirls About Latin Quarter PARIS GR Student demonstrators and police turned Paris' Latin Quarter into a bloody battlefield early today. Rioting also swirled around the Cathedral of Notre Dame.

The fierce clashes were an ominous prelude to a massive new confrontation later in the day between France's seething left and President Charles de Gaulle. Several hundred demonstrators made their way from the Latin Quarter to the He de la Citea Seine River island in the heart of Paris and swarmed through the narrow streets around Notre Dame. They clashed with police and erected a barricade. The nightlong conflict sent more than 50 persons to hospitals as De Gaulle presides over emer gency cabinet meeting, will address nation today. See Page 21, Part 1.

brickbats, Molotov cocktails and tear-gas grenades flew through the air and barricades flamed. The strikebound nation waited impatiently for word from De Gaulle in his address today on how he plans to deal with the upheaval of millions of workers, students and farmers, who called for mass demonstrations throughout the country. The farmers want higher prices for their products, the workers higher wages. The students, whose drive for academic reforms originally touched off France's gravest crisis since World War II, now are protesting the exile of one of their leaders, Daniel Cohn-Bendit. Chop Down Ancient Trees In the overnight rioting, students chopped down ancient trees to form barricades and set alight piles of uncollected garbage in their desperate bid to halt the steady advance of the police through the student quarter.

Ambulances raced around the district picking up the wounded and evacuating them to emergency first aid stations. Some student monitors rode frantically around the area on motorbikes trying to calm the situation. But their efforts were in vain. Authorities said they suspected there were professional agitators in the throng. Shortly after midnight Thursday several demonstrators drove an automobile headlong toward a group Please Turn to Page 20, Col.

VITALS, WEATHER Pag? 14, Part 3. Johnson Warns Hanoi on War During Parley BY TOM LAMBERT Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON President Johnson declared Thursday that the United States will not permit North Vietnam to win thvi war militarily while negotiating for a peace settlement in Paris. "We shall not be defeated on the battlefield while the talks go on," he said at a White ceremony honoring heroes of Khe Sanh. "We shall not permit the enemy's mortars and rockets to go unanswered and permit him to achieve a victory that would make a mockery of the negotiations." Shortly before the President spoke, Secretary of Defense Clark M. Clifford cautioned that "more hard fighting undoubtedly lies ahead" in Vietnam.

Hasn't Cut Military Effort Clifford said. Hanoi continues to pour men and equipment into South Vietnam and refuses to cut back its military effort in response to the U.S. limit on air raids. He made the statements while testifying before the Senate defense appropriations subcommittee on the $79.1 billion defense budget for fiscal 1969. North Vietnam is pursuing a "fight and negotiate'' war policy, Clifford said, adding, "We must be prepared physically and psychologically to do the same." At the ceremony honoring the Marine and other troops who defended the Khe Sanh fortress earlier this year, the President said, "It is still not clear-that Hanoi is ready for an early or honorable peace." No Lessening of Aggression "There has been no lessening of Hanoi's aggressive efforts" despite the limitation on American air attacks, he added, echoing Clifford's remarks.

What is more, Mr. Johnson said, "Hanoi today is telling its forces in the south that they must continue their offensive to support their negotiators in Paris." The United States will "seriously and soberly" try to negotiate a war settlement, he went on, believing that such an agreement can be achieved. "But if there must be more fighting before it comes," he said, "then we shall not be found wanting," Coincidentally, former Presidents 1) wight D. Eisenhower and Harry Truman and 12 other members of the Citizens Committee for Peace With Freedom in Vietnam counseled against expecting too much too soon from the Paris talks. The group said in a statement that North Vietnam views negotiations as another way to fight a war and will try on the battlefield to win at Please Tarn to Page 17, Col.

U.S. Investigators Here Probe Cause of Copter Tragedy BY PAUL HOUSTON Time Staff Writer Nine Ohioans on a family vacation, a Hunt-Wesson Foods executive, the mayor of Red Bluff, and a UC Berkeley professor were among 23 persons killed Wednesday in the mysterious crash of a helicopter in Paramount, it was disclosed Thursday. Meanwhile, a.

team of federal investigators arrived from Washington, D.C., to seek the cause of the fiery crash of the Los Angeles Airways' Sikorsky 61-L copter. It was the worst helicopter crash ever to occur in the United States, federal safety officials said. The worst previous, killing all 13 persons aboard a Sikorsky-58, occurred in a Chicago suburb in 1960. Some Flights Grounded Los Angeles Airways grounded all morning and many afternoon flights while Federal Aviation Administration officials made a routine check of the firm's six other Sikorsky 61-L copters. All scheduled flights were resumed at 3:35 p.m.

Thursday. The crash occurred on a flight from Anaheim to Los Angeles International Airport. The Board of Supervisors passed a motion urging the FAA to halt all passenger flights of the Sikorsky 61-L until the cause of the tragedy is determined. The motion by Supervisor Kenneth Hahn asked investigators to determine how much mail and Please Turn to Pas 30, CoL 1 either goes far beyond or falls far short of what the President desired. Mr.

Johnson suffered his final major rebuff shortly before the bill was passed when the Senate voted to take most of the responsibility for administering the federal grant program away from the Justice Department and to vest it with the states. By a vote of 48 to 29, the Senate TREASURY PAYS HIGHEST INTEREST SINCE CIVIL WAR WASHINGTON 'JB The Treasury Department Thursday set the highest rate since the Civil War to borrow money for its operations. A sale of Treasury securities produced rates above for only the second time in modern history. The previous high in this century came during the tight money period of 1966. In a reflection of the current period of tightening credit, the Treasury said it was forced to pay an average yield of 6.086 to sell $500 million in bills maturing in nine months.

This was up from 5.665 at the April sale. The fact that the Treasury had to pay such a high rate on tax-free bonds means that businesses and individuals wiU have to pay even higher interest charges on 'their borrowing. The previous high in this century was 6.039 on a Sept 19, 1966, sale of securities maturing in six months. Officials said the department paid 7.3 on some of the securities it sold in 1S64 and 1S65. BY JOHN II.

AVERILL Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON The Senate passed the omnibus crime control bill Thursday night in a form highly unsatisfactory to President Johnson. After more than three weeks of debate, the controversial four-part bill was approved by a vote of 72 to 4. with Sens. John Sherman Cooper Hiram Fong (R-Hawaii), Philip A. Hart (D-Mich.) and Lee Metcalf (D-Mont.) opposed.

The legislation will now go to a Senate-House conference committee for reconciliation with a far more modest anticrime bill passed by the House last year. As passed by the Senate in a rare overtime night session, the bill would: Provide the $400 million in federal grants requested by the President to help improve and upgrade local police departments through aid for more training, education and equipment. Supreme Court Restrictions Undercut recent Supreme Court decisions restricting the admissibility of confessions and eyewitness testimony in criminal cases. Authorize for the first time court-supervised wiretapping and electronic eavesdropping by federal, state and local law enforcement officers in a wide array of crimes. Prohibit interstate mail order sales of handguns and limit over-the-counter sales of handguns to residents of the dealer's state who are 21 and over.

Attempts to extend the curbs to rifles and shotguns, as advocated by Mr. Johnson, were rejected. Sen. George Murphy (R-Calif.) voted for the bilL Sen. Thomas H.

-Kuchel (R-Calif.) was not recorded. In its four provisions, the bill adopted an amendment by Minority Leader Everett M. Dirksen (R-Ill.) that would give the states the responsibility for distributing 85 of the money to assist local police departments. The House had incorporated a similar "bloc grant" approach in its anticrime bill last year and the Administration had lobbied intensely to keep it out of the Senate version. But the conservative coalition of Republicans and Southern Democrats, which held the upper hand for two weeks of Senate voting on the bill, again triumphed to give most of the control to the states.

Nevertheless, the Administration is expected to mount an intensive behind-the-scenes effort to have the bill modified by the Senate-House conference committee. Grants to States It is highly unlikely, however, that the conferees will back down on the feature Mr. Johnson finds most objectionable the bloc grants to states since both the Senate and House have voted overwhelmingly to take that states' rights approach. Mr. Johnson hadn't spoken out directly against the court-curbing and wiretapping provisions beyond suggesting they raised "grave constitutional questions." However, Atty.

Gen. Ramsey Clark has broad wiretapping authority, insisting- it should be limited only to national security investigations. An amendment to conform the wiretapping provision to Clark's specifications was defeated by the Senate Thursday by a vote of 60 to 20. Then a proposal by Sen. Edward V.
