GUATEMALA CITY People still think that the Brinks Express robbery in Boston was the biggest job in the history of crime. But it was peanuts compared with the Communist caper in Guatemala. When the Communist-dominated government of President Arbenz was overthrown a year ago, the top men, who had quick access to public funds, stole an incredible amount of cash in their getaway. Abenz who turned out to he pretty expert at grabbing from the till on the way out of office, took his bundle to Europe, where he still remains. This helped complicate the task of a morose little man named Carlos Castillo Armas in doing the traditional job that follows all revolutions: Keeping the citizens persuaded that it was a good idea in the first place.

They've been having a "Fiesta de Liberacion" in Guatemala this past week, to celebrate the first anniversary of the revolution which knocked out the Kremlin's only beachhead in the Western Hemisphere. But beneath the contrived air of festivity, there is a grim subsurface of political, social and economic problems for President Castillo in his earnest attempt to steer Guatemala on a middle course between the far left and the far right. ASIDE FROM THE RAID on the public till, the economic life of this little republic has been hit hard from two directions in the first year of "liberation." The decline in coffee prices has seriously dented Guatemala's most important source of foreign exchange. And a crop failure has made a grevious deficit in the supply of corn, which is the staple food of these 3,000,000 people. The price of corn has risen sharply Saved by U.S.

Monev and Corn THESE CONFLICTING price movements coffee down and food up have created an economic squeeze that might have been fatal without United States aid in the past year. And it could still be critical without continued assistance from the corn and money bins in the United States. The ecoi.omic squeeze is only one of the afflictions that have given President Castillo the look of an unhappy man. The Communists are still as thick as fruit flies in Guatemala. They had 10 years to get this place staked out, and their diligent organizing effort over a decade were not Cool Front Follow vs 97.2 High ice Days Due, With 86 Top Sunday WIFE SCREAMS AS SEARCHERS find hody of her husband, one of six members of family drowned at a picnic.

Police said the murder-suicide victims were Bernard E. Parish. 55, and his wife, Catherine, 46, of 1S465 Schaefer. Their only daughter, Dolores, 19, said her parents had argued for years.

She said the disputes became severe last September. Her father left home and filed suit for divorce. Neighbors said, however, that Parish moved back into the house April 12 and had been living there since. THEY DESCRIBED Mrs. Parish as a "moody woman who rarely spoke to anybody." Detective Sgt.

John Morin, of the Homicide Bureau, said nitrate tests of Mrs. Parish's ight hand clearly indicated she had fired one shot into her husband's chest and another into her own. Morin said slight nitrate stains on the husband's hands indicated he had attempted to wrest the gun from his wife's hand. MORIX SAID the daughter gave this account: owed in support payments. Parish stayed overnight.

Saturday morning Dolores took the revolver that had been in the family for 10 years emptied it of cartridges and hid it in a clothe3 hamper. When she returned from the store, the gun was gone. She pleaded with her mother to eive her the gun, but Mrs. Parish refused. Later, when Dolores was ing up clothes and a bovfriend Arthur, heard 'the second shot as they started upstairs.

Mullen restrained Miss Parish from entering the room. The daughter told Morin her father had once owned a successful engineering firm bearing his name at 3340 Fenkell. Although the girl said her father for many years mad about $35,000 annually, his company went bankrupt about a year ago. She said her father holds patents on several inventions, several of them in use in the automotive industry. Ex-Fireman.

He happened to glance nut the window and, lo and behold, what should he see but an alligator snout sticking out of the water.

TAIFALE hung up the phone, grabbed a binocular and ran out on the front patio for another look. "It was an alligator. all right," Taipale said. He called his wife and nine year-old son, James. "Definitely an alligator," both said firmlv.

To make his story even better, Mrs. Taipale and the couple's 18-yeai-old daughter, Susan, remembered they'd heard "thrashing" sounds several times during the night.

LOCAL STORMS, not connected with the cool front, caused some damage Friday night in Western Michigan.

wiped out completely in the revolt led by Col. Castillo against the Arbenz government in 1954. THE GUATEMALAN Reds are under cover, and in no position to threaten the government. But their clandestine press is active, and they are keen for every chance to infiltrate the government or to capitalize on discontent. At the other end of the political spectrum there is a reactionary right wing group of Guatemalans, who yearn for the almost forgotten jears under dictators who permitted a virtual statp of peonage for the workers and field hands.

The far left and the far right are both hostile to the Castillo government.
