3oNN. Germany (AP) - Dis- Vuntled Bonn politicians Sunday pondered challenging the legality at the French-German deal over me sass. a foundation stone of the pgrig agreements on freeing and rearmlns West Germany.

Concessions made by Chancellor Konrad Adenauer in agreeing to guropeuiization of the disputed border state-German in language and French in economic ties-an- gered both his Socialist foes and some supporters of his coalition government.

Dr. Thomas Dehler. chairman of the Free Democrats, indicated his party may try to take the issue to the Supreme Court. The Free Democrats rank second only to Auenauer's Christian Democrats in the coalition. Addressing a Free Dimocratic convention in Wetzler, Dehier said the Saar accord pos- sibly violated the Bonn constitu- ilDII because it might, in effect, prevent the reunification of Ger- many.

A court test would threaten a; llEll delay in lining up West Ger- many as a sovereign ally in the Western defences against Commu- nist aggression, perhaps halting for

Now To Build All-Ca

MONTREAL (CF)-Prime Min- ister St. Lrlurent indicated Satur- day night Canada is not ready to build an all-Canadian seaway at this time, but may do so in the future.

Except for a short canal to be limit on the United States side of the International Rapids section, the St. Lawrence seaway will fol- lIllV an all-Canadian route. The American section. near Barnliart lSlafl('l, will be built by the United States.

Mr. St. Laurent. in a speech at a banquet marking the 10th aimi- vei-sary of the French-speaking Newspaper Men's Syndicate of Montreal. reviewed the history of Canada-U.S. negotiations in recent years concerning the seaway.

He said he took the opportunity to restate the facts because some newspapers inaccurately reported them, although not deliberately so. and conclusions based on those facts were false.

DEPENDENT ON DAM

His r'emarks were contained in a spcecli prepared in advance of de- livery.

Mr. St. Laurent said construc- tion of the seaway was dependent .in construction of a dam across the International Rapids section of the St. Lawrence river. This hydro- electric power development, since it touched both Canadian and American, had to be an interna- tional undertaking.

Until the power project was ap- proved in both Canada and the I'niIed States, the navigation phase of the project could not be started.

Mr. St. Laurent said it is an open secret Canada would have preferred to build all the canals in Canadian territory, but it had to consider joint participation in order to secure American co-operation in the hydro development.

MIGHT INJURE RELATIONS

Too. American legislation speci- fied that U.S. participation in the seaway must be on US. territory.

Mr. St. Laurent said that if Can- ada had turned down American participation in the sesway and started to build all canals on the Canadian side, it would have done serious injury to Canada-U.S. re- lations.

While Canada will spend S488.- 000,000 and the United States 372: 000,000 on the seeway. apart from the 8300,000.000 hydro-project, Can- ada will retain control of the deep waterway.

He added:

SEE ISSUE

Dehler's threat indicated the Socialists. foes of rearmainent who have come out flatly against the 53411” accord. might pick up enough votes in Parliament to make it a constitutional issue.

Upon demand of a third of the members of the Lower House of Parliament. the Bundestag, any is- sue csn be brought before the Karlsruhe constitutional court. The Process of getting a decision takes months. The Socialists contend Adenauer went beyond the limts of a bipartisan agreement on what. could be accepted.

The Socialists have 151 seats and. if joined by the 17 Free Demo- crats. they could muster well over a. third of the 487-seat house.

The Saar government of Prem- ier Johannes I-Ioffman has wel- comed the arrangement worked out by Adenauer and French Prem- ier Pierre Mendes-France, full cle- tails of which have not yet been published. But in Germany the deal was viewed largely as a vic- tory for France and another step toward final separation of the coal- rich territory from Germany.

VAN JOHNSON and ESTHER WILLIAMS STAR AT CAPITOL THEATRE, SUMMI-ZRSIDE

-To the legion of Esther Wil- liams fans, "Easy to Love," now be- ing shown at the Capitol Theatre, will prove an entertainment field day.

WASHINGTON. (AP)-Bread and butter issues are getting increas- ing attention as the struggle for control of Congress enters its cli- mactlc phases.

In the stretch drive leading up to the elections Nov. 2, Republi- cans are prepared to bear down hard on the theme that business and employment conditions are steadily improving. The Democrats continue hammering away at the argument that the Republicans are doing nothing effective about the jobless problem.

President Eisenhower will ad- dress the nation tonight in a speech billed as non-partisan but dealing with the country's eco- nomic conditions. The talk is to be carried over national television and radio hookups.

Changing political complexions in at least three states-New York, Arizona and Colorado-are indicat- ed by public opinion samplings re- ported in newspapers across the United States.

If the polls turn out to be ac- curate, the prospects are for elec- tion of Democratic governors in all three. now ruled by Republicans. Another state. New Jersey, is in its way to losing one of its two Republican senators, according to a political pulse reading there.

Elsewhere. straw voting does not as yet permit any conclusions.

New York, one of the more heavily polled states. seems to be leaning toward the Democratic col- umn. Its straw voters are turning

Social Event At Kensington

A happy social event was held at the home of Rev. and Ilrs. Alex- ander MacKay, Kensington, Wed- "9-Way evening, October 20, when over thirtyrtwo of the immediate relatives gathered to surprise and honor two of Mr. MacKay's bro- thers and their wives. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. MacKay, Vancouver and Mr. and Mrs. A. Claude Mac- Kay. Montague. and to extend to them hearty felicitations on the attainment of forty years of happy wedded life.

Rev. Mr. MacKay acted as chair- man.

A sing-song, conducted by A1- lison MacLean. Summerside. was enjoyed with Mrs. H. D. Smith at the piano. Two solos were sweet- ly rendered by Barbara Smith, Tryon. After introductory remarks Mr. MacKay called on Mr. Mac- Lean who read an address to Mr. and Mrs. A. C. MacKay. This was highlighted by several humorous reminiscences. Reference was made to the active part taken by the honored guests in the varied church and community activities in Montague.

Presentation of a lovely figurine. a purse and personal gifts were made by Mrs. Stirling MacKay, Albany, and Mrs. Wilfred Living- stone. Charlottetown.

Rev. Mr. MacKay then extended a welcome, congratulations best wishes for the future to J. S. and Mrs. MacKay. On behalf of the brothers and sisters A. C. Mac- Kay presented them with two pic- tures depicting attractive scenes of P. E. I. These hanging on the walls of their Western home will serve as a reminder of happy as- sociations "back East."

Words of appreciation were ex- pressed by the recipients. During the social hour Mrs. Stephen Shaw, Charlottetown. sister of Mrs. A. C. Macl(ay and Mrs. R. Rogerson. Summerside. sister of the "grooms" presided over the tea cups.

The table. covered with a lace cloth, had a floral centre-piece flanked by pink tapers in silver holders and two attractive wed- ding cakes.

Assisting the hostess in serving were Mrs. S. M. MacKay. Albany. Mrs. G. Craig, Mrs. W. Living- stone, Mrs. Harold MacKay and Mrs. C. MacKay of Charlottetown, Mrs. H. D. Smith, Mrs. A. Enman and Mrs. A. P. MacLean, Summer- side.

All five brothers and one sister of the MacKay family were pres- ent. Another sister. Mrs. Austin Burns resides in Waltham, Mass.

It was a happy coincidence that J. S. and Mrs. MacKay, arrived Saturday in time to be present at this interesting re-union. It is Mr. MacKay's second visit home in forty-one years. His wife. who is a native of Kenora. Ontario, is visiting the Island for the first time. Prior to his departure for the West Mr. MacKay was em- ployed at Brace and MacKay's Summerslde.

Declare Siaie Of Emergency in Pakistan

By ZAMIR SIDDIQI

KARACHI. Pakistan (AP)-The governor-general of crisis-ridden Pakistan declared a state of emer- gency Sunday, dissolved the con- stltuent assembly, and dismissed the cabinet of Prime Minister Mohammed Ali.

Within hours Mohammed Ali an- nounced ln a broadcast to the nation he had accepted Governor- General G h u 1 a m Mohammed's mandate to form a new govern- ment. He said he had formed a seven-man cabinet to deal with the country's "hour of crisis."

The new ministry includes Gen. Mohammed Ayub Khan, comman- der in chief of Pakistan's army. and M. A. H. Ispahani, recently appointed ambassador to London. I-IALTS VISIT

Mohammed All cut short a visit to the United States-cancelling I visit to Can da-and new home Saturday nig t to face I gathering political storm. He returned with substantially increased American aid, which should help him in Jeal- ing with the economic side of his manifold problems.

In his broadcast. Mohammed Ali said ”recent decisions of the Con- I stituent A s s e m b l y provoked a storm in the country" and "caused internal strain and bickerings, per- sonal. sectional, and provincial rivalries." He asserted the emer- gency action was in the larger interest of the country.

The Constituent Assembly, which also has been performing day-to- clay legislative chores, has aroused the impatience of many Pakistanis. It has been unable to draft as basic charter for the country in the seven years since Britain gave Pakistan and India independence.

Mohammed Ali's own Moslem League party. which was largely instrumental in winning Pakistan's independence, has dominated the assembly. It had 58 of the 73 mem- bers.

In declaring the state of emer- gency, Ghulam Mohammed said the Constituent Assembly "has lost the confidence of the people and can no longer function." He said elections will befheld as early as possible."

Washington Sees Paci Giving New Si-rengih Io West

By John Higbtower

WASHINGTON. (AP)- The Al- lied program "for arming West Germany will provide a new basis of strength from which to negoti- ate with Russia on European prob- lems, diplomatic officials said Sun- day. Another Big Four foreign min- isters meeting on German unifica- tion, the Austrian independence treaty and related issues is con- sidered llkely-but not before the agreements reached in Paris satur- day are ratified by the parliaments involved.

Westerff leaders are reported to have agreed they want no confer- ence with the Russlans before ratification. To go into such a meeting in the next few weeks as Moscow proposed Saturday would only be to fall in with Russia's expected moves to try to stall and eventually kill the Western Europ- ean Union.

Russia's call for a. meeting in November will either be rejected or put off, authorities said. But the door will not be closed to an eventual conference of the four foreign ministers-Britain's Sir Anthony Eden, Russia's Vyaches- lav Molotov, John Foster Dulles of the United States and French Pre- mier Pierre Mendes-France.

DUE TODAY

Dulles is due here today from the I5-nation Paris talks which produced the decision that West

Germany should become a full partner In the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. President

Eisenhower Sunday called a spec- ial meeting of the cabinet today to receive a report from Dulles.

Apart from great interest here in Russia's quick counter-move, which U. S. officials consider weak and ineffective, several other points were noted in connection with the Paris agreements:

1. The "agonizing reappraisal" of U. S. relations with Western Europe is automatically suspended. If the Western European Union goes through parliamentary approval, U. S. policy will continue to be based on building maximum stre.ngt.h through unity in Europe.

2. U. 5. military aid can now flow at full volume without inlet- ruptlon to France and Italy. The U, 5. Congress had provided that aid would have to be suspended for those European countries which did not ratify the European Defenre Community or a satisfactory sub- stitute.
