The allegation is included in @ letter to the Commons elec- tion committee from Morland T. Brown of New Westminster, B.C. The letter was tabled in the Commons Wednesday. In reporting the tabling Wed- mesday, the Canadian Press erroneously quoted the letter as saying that 40 per cent of the names on the list in the entire constituency were duplicated in other ridings.

A 30-year-old miner's son, Lt.-Col. Alexei Leonov, became the world's first astronaut to separate from a spaceship in orbit--and to survive. Leonov left Voskhod II for 20 minutes and hovered freely for 10 minutes. Moscow television transmitted a live program directly from [aboard the spaceship. Moscow radio said Leonov, father of a four-year-old girl, "felt good' as he clambered |back through the hatch of Rus- |sia's latest spacecraft, Voskhod \(Sunrise) Il, after his mid- |space adventure of about 20 minutes. Detailed medical reports on Leonov's condition were still awaited as Voskhod II, launched early this morning, continued to circle the earth every 91 min- utes. His breathtaking space swim was seen by millions on tele- vision in Russia and throughout the world, as Moscow released a graphic video-tape two hours afterwards. ' Scientific observers said the feat appeared to put Russia far ahead in its space race with the United States, which plans to launch its two - man Gemini |project Tuesday. Leonov, said to be well-pre- pared for "intricate tasks in flight," left the spaceship at 11:30 a.m. (3:30 EST), 90 min- utes after he and Col. Pavel Belyayev, 39, were blasted-off on Russia's eighth manned space shot, Moscow television showed a video-tape of Leonov emerging slowly from the spaceship, wait- ing in the aperture for an or- der from Belyayev to leave the ship. | He climbed out into space and |floated above the ship, making swimming motions and pulling on the lifeline connecting him to the ship. | As Leonov emerged he was poised for some time in. the air e t Wiis...

Alexei Leonov in the act of be- coming tne first man to step pie lock, holding on to a rail round the edge of the aperture. Then his whole body emerged and, still clinging to the rail he swum around horizontally. But then he assumed a verti- cal position and backed away from the ship. The cable link- ing him with the cabin floated about in space like a piece of string in water. Television viewers 'watched him flying freely near the ship and returning to the hatch of the airlock. In the front of the picture was| a movie camera photographing Leonov as he swum..about..in space. Behind him the televi- sion picture showed the earth speeding past the space ship. AT 5 MILES A SECOND The announcer said Voskhod II was spinning through space at a rate of five miles a sec- ond. The cosmonaut disappeared from view, and the television picture did not show what tasks he was carrying out. The Soviet news agency Tass said a network of ground TV stations watched Leonoy carry out his tasks outside the craft. Tass said Leonov stepped into space on the second orbit. It added he and Balyayev after- ONA 'SWIMS' IN out of an orbiting capsule in outer space. The copilot. of the spaceship Voskhod-2 went 16% feet from the capsule, they said.
