James. B. Allen, predicted Sunday night a both the Democratic and Republican parties would at their peril reject "the Wallace message" in choosing presidential nominees and drawing up party platforms. Allen, a close friend and ally of Alabama Gov. George C.

Wallace, said the governor was the only leading Democratic candidate who could carry the South and probably the only one who could win the border states. He made the comments in a speech to be delivered on Wallace's behalf Monday at Convention of the National Association of Counties. "The Wallace constituency represents the balance of power in the upcoming presidential election," Allen said. Allen said of the Wallace phenomenon that it showed major vote getting strength "without adequate campaign funds and with little organization." "Bui, in my judgment, the national parly candidates and the national parly plalform corn- tees will disregard his message at the peril of their parlies and al the peril of our nation," Allen said. his campaign, before being shot at nearby Laurel, on (he eve of the Maryland primary, Wallace's theme was "Send tbem a message." Allen explained thai the message included a strong national defense and internal security posture, tax relief for low and middle income groups, and law and order.

Allen's comments came as the Democratic Party Platform Committee was holding hearings in Washington preliminary Obituaries Connie L. Wceklcy Funeral services i be conducted Monday for Mr. Connie L. Weekley, 200 Kelly Fload, i i who died Sunday morning. The Rev.

"Anyone who believes that we have reached a Utopian relationship with communist nations is seriously mistaken and I doubt that the American people are willing lo buy that point of view," Allen said. He said the Wallace message also called for the federal government lo "lighten the belt, trim the fal, cut out waste restore sound fiscal and monetary polcies declare an efficiency dividend and balance the budget." "In demanding these changes, Governor Wallace has expressed (he deeply held convictions of a vast majority of the American people," Allen said. such pressing problems massive poverty.

Bui i a i observers here doubt if Bhutto is yel prepared In give up all claim lo Kashmir. He might, however, be willing not to disturb the present cease-fire line and demilitarize the border between the two countries. A dc facto agreement defusing the explosive Kashmir issue might hold considerable appeal for Mrs. Gandhi. Il could pave the way to opening the border and restor- i a and diplomatic a i between the two nations It also could prepare the ground for the release of (he prisoners.

India already has demons a its i in a a peace by moving quietly In suggest to Mujib a he should dilute his demands regarding war crimes trials.

If some basic agreements can be hammered out at Simla, it is considered certain a more talks al various levels will follow. Mrs. Gandhi," who of late has been one of the sharpest critics of American foreign policy, will not be waiting with hat in hand for Connally's arrival.
