Governor Seeks Opinion In Filling Vacancy Left By Death of Howard Lyng

JUNEAU - Gov. HeintZleman Wednesday requested from the of flee of the attorney general an opinion regarding steps to be taken in the vacancy to the con- stitutional convention created by the death of Sen. Howard Lyng of Nome.
 The governors letter pointed out that there were as many can didates in the Second Division contest as there were seats to be filled. Lyng's death created one vacancy.
 Informed sources here said the law creating the convention spe- cifies that vacancies are to be filled by the candidate receiving the next largest number of votes. There was no provision in the law for instances where there were no losing candidates.
 There was some speculation that a special election might be called in the Second Division to fill the vacancy. Unless such an election is called, the Second Div ision will be represented by only five delegates. This means there will be only 54 delegates all told to the convention which opens at the University of Alaska on November 13.

Coplin All Right After Dunking
 On Council Road

Frank Coplin was discharged today from the hospital as much improved after being treated for shock and exposure. And thereby hangs a tale:
 It seems Coplin and a party of several others were returning from a trip to Council Wednes- day. Tn the party were Les and Ray Coplin, his brothers, and Rays wife, Betty. They were travelling in two trucks, with Frank alone in the lead vehicle. They safely negotiated the treach- erous rain-swollen road" from Council as far as the East Fork of the Solomon River when dis aster struck. Franks car ran into a wash out and despite four wheel drive was unable to get out. In the process, he became thoroughly soaked. It must be remembered that Wednesday the rain was falling heavily and the weather was cold
 Two of the party managed to cross the stream and were walk ing toward Lees camp when they met Alex Dalilak, in one of Pete Curran's trucks, enroute to Coun- cil with a load of gasoline. He picked them up and they went back to the scene of the wash out. There they found Frank had succumbed to the cold and was unconscious.
 Alex Dalilak immediately took Frank into his truck and sped down to Lees Camp from where he was brought to the NM Hos pital by plane.
 Delilak went back again and brought in the rest of the party.

Establishment of Relations With
 Russia Approved

BONN, Germany, R-The West German Bundestag unanimously approved the establishment of diplomatic relations with the So- viet Union today
 The vote was made by a show of hands.
 The ratification of Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's agreement in Moscow with Soviet Premier Bull ganin ended a two-day debate, during which the 79-year-old gov ernment chief said the new trend in German-RusSian relations "of fers the prospect of future easing of international tensions and na- tional unity in freedom to Ger many"
 Erich Ollenhauer, leader of the Socialist opposition, similarly told the lower house of Parliament normalization of relations be- tween West Germnay and Russia "can banish for a long time the danger of hot war"
 All speakers made it clear that Bonn does not regard normaliza- tion of relations with Russia as making friends with Communism.
