I9—(AP)—The mounting toll of Guatemala‘: rainy season floods were officially estimated today at about 4.000 dead and at least $50,- 000,000 property damage. Foreign Minister Gonzalez Are- valo announced the totals, on the basis of reports still far from complete. as Central American neighbors and the United States extended aid. _"As each additional report ar- rives," Arevalo said, "the disaster assumes greater proportions." While he was talking to a re- porter, he received word 1,000 homeless children have been col- lected in Esculntla, a town of 2B.- 000 south of the Capital. Their parents presumably are dead. Coffee producers say at least 30 per cent of Gustemelts $33,- 000,000 coffee crop has been des- troyed. Arevslo commented: "My estimate is from J0 to 50 per cent." A rich grazing belt, from 20 to 40 miles wide, which stretches for more than 200 miles along the Pacific coast was one of the sec- tions hardest hit. The Foreign Minister said i300 cattle were drowned on his ranch there and that many ranchers lost all their livestock. Destruction of roads by the sweep of waters handicapped re- lief and rescue work. Many vil- lages are entirely isolated. Are- valo said the country sorely needs transport planes and road equip- ment as well as food. medicines Ind clothing. , » Children Return To Die |n_Flre_ SAINT JOHN.

One theory was that the boy turned back to save some possess- ions and that his elder sister re- turned to rescue him. Mrs. Proctor was burned about the shoulders. ‘The other two children suffered foot and leg burns as they fled frcim the house. The survivors found shelter with s neighbor.

Prime Minister Sees Possibilities 0i Controversy OTTAWA, Oct. 19 --(C.P)—d"ed- eral gran-ts to Provinces for edu- cation have possibilities of con- troversy, Pri-me Minister St. Laur- ent. said today In the Commons during a debate on education. The Prime Minister while con- ceding it might be necessary to continue financial help to some educational institutions. said def- lnite decisions might be left until the Government had received the report of the Royal Commission on Arts and Sciences. The education discussion. which occupied the whole afternoon sess- ion of the Commons during private members‘ day. developed on s. reso- lution by R R. Knight (COIL- Saskatoon) asking the Government to consider aid to the Provinces for expanding and equalizing educat- ional opportunities across Canada. Progressive Conservative speak- ers backed the principle of the resolution, but George Drew. ‘Pro- gressive Conservative leader, warn- od that the giving of Federal as- sistance should be free of attempt: to gain indirect control of educat- ion 1n the Provinces. Mr. Drew also called for a Dcm- futon-Provincial conference at ivhlch the over-all financial posit» ion of the Provinces on education and all other matters could be all dealt with, rather than taking "piecemeal" action on education alone. Earlier. the House voted 141 to 4.5 against accepting a resolution by T.l... Church (PC-Jibronto Broad- viow) asking the Government to seek provincial co-operatiors in curtailing accidents. No Probe 0i Oil The Government informed the Commons. in the tabling of an ex- change of letters with Attorney- General Corman of Saskatchewan, that it does not propose to investi- gate the possibility that a price- fixlng wmbirre exists in Canada's oil industry.

Commons bill to abolish Can- adian appeals to the judicial oom- mlttee of the Privy Council. The Prime Minister said all quarters of the House would wel- ccme the opportunity of focusalng attention on the problem of equal- ity of opportunity. He agreed with Mr. Drew that any Federal grants to the Prov- inces would have to be arranged so as to avoid Federal control. direct or indirect. on s. matter which was essentially one of provincial juris- diction.

Oct. 19 — (CP)-—The general level of freight rates in Newfoundland is the same as in the Maritimes,‘ Government and railway experts here said today. The comparison was made when the officials were questioned on a statement by Premier Smallwood of Newfoundland that the new Province is paying "millions of dollars" more per year in freight charges than it should under the Confederation agreement. These officials, who declined to be quoted, said they were at a loss to understand the Premier's statement to the Legislature at St. John's Monday. They also noted that at Confederation the Canadian National Railways, which took over the Government-owned New- foundland Railway, had cut that line's freight tolls sharply. Under the Confederation pact. Newfoundland was to be given- "ss far as sppropriatfl-the bene- fits of Federal legislation provid- ing for special freight rates in the Marltimes. This legislation is the Maritime Freight Rates Act of 1027, giving federally-subsidized reductions of 20 per cent in rates on certain types of traffic in the three original seaboard Provinces. 8o far as Newfoundland is con- cerned. that act now- is in effect on the same types oi traffic ss in the Marltimes.with few excep- tions, according to officials here. In addition. rates on traffic into and out of Newfoundland were ‘Rail Rates Maritimes ..__. Other reductions were made in traffic movements within the Pro- vince itself, with about 75 per cent of this traffic being given lowered rates. The Exceptions Two exceptions were newsprint and ore concentrates. These had been carried by the Newfoundland Railway under "agreed" charges between railway and companies. Because the Maritime: had no comparable rates for these pro- ducts. they were left at the old scale after Confederation in New- foundlsnd. In a third case — pulpwood — rested after her father.
