Following adjournment today, he commission will travel to northwestern Quebec where it will begin a two-month tour of the province. Mont St. Louis made no reference in its brief to federal grants to universities and institutions f higher learning, cut off from Quebec universities and colleges this year by the Quebec government. The grants are a subject of controversy in Quebec where the government has claimed they constitute an encroachment on provincial autonomy as far as education is concerned. The college brief said it believes the Canadian constitution accorded the provinces'exclusive rights in matters of education and teaching. The brief claimed the Quebec government should have the revenues needed to exercise its power, right and duty to assist those who contribute to education in the province.

CALGARY W) The stock market slump that recently sent western oils tumbling to a low point has brought a rash of financial casualties to small Canadian independents and produced the consequent rumors of mergers and amalgamation.
