A 2 Pittsburgh Press, March 15, 1982 State GOP Blames law For Election Delay half a brain can figure out it's got to be held in the old districts. It won't work any other way." He cited a section of the state constitution that requires the House speaker to hold special elections to fill "unexpired terms," a reference he believes clearly points to holding the elections in the old districts. Rittef said he thinks Ryan won't hold the elections because Republicans don't want to give Democrats the chance to gain momentum for the November elections. "Even if we won all three seats we wouldn't take control (of the House)," he said, "but the Republicans are worried that if we did, it would create a bandwagon effect. "It would be a bellwether that people are dissatisfied with the Thornburgh administration and the Republicans." districts.

He agreed that situation might lead to two lawmakers representing the same area, or some regions not having any representation at all because of changes in the political map. "It's illogical, but the law sometimes is," he' said, "I'm faced with a dilemma." Ryan said he would not decide on the special elections until the federal court have ruled on what appears to be the final challenge to the reapportionment plan, an action filed by a Philadelphia Hispanic group. Rep. James Ritter, chairman of the House Democratic Policy Committee, said he doesn't buy Ryan's understanding of the situation. "I really don't understand the logic of that," said Ritter.

That political concern, Democrats charged, could leave residents of those three districts without any representation during House deliberations on the budget. Ryan denied that charge, and said he couldn't call the special elections because it's unclear whether they should be held in the present districts or new districts created by the reapportionment plan. He said the state constitution requires that the new reapportionment plan go into effect after the courts settle the last legal challenge against it.

Ryan acknowledged that it seemed impractical, if not impossible, to hold special elections in three new districts, while all other House members still are in their old The 200th District in Philadelphia County, vacated when Democratic Rep. John White resigned to take a city council seat. The 125rd District in Schuylkill County, vacated when Republican Rep. William Hutchinson resigned to take a seat on the state Supreme Court. Even if the Democrats won all three, seats, Republicans would still retain control of the 203-member House by a 102-101 margin.

But there is a possibility that Rep. George Kanuck, R-Lehigh, might resign his seat soon to become a member of the Delaware River Basin Commission, a loss that could jeopardize GOP control. And with sensitive budget and tax matters coming up soon in the Legislature, Republican Gov. Dick Thornburgh would not HARRISBURG (UPI) House Speaker Matthew Ryan is resisting Democratic demands that he call special elections for the May 18 primary to fill three vacant seats in the eastern end of the state, saying an "illogical" provision of the state constitution prevents it. Ryan, R-Delaware, said he'd like to schedule the special elections, but he contends this year's realignment of state legislative districts complicates the matter.

Democrats, however, claim that Ryan is manufacturing problems to avoid calling the special elections because it appears likely Democrats would win at least two and possibly all of these vacant seats: The 122nd District in Carbon and Luzerne counties, vacated when Democratic Rep.

'Good Leads' In Newlywed's Death Pursued Police in Florida continue to pursue what they have termed "good leads" in the slaying last week of Chris D. Lumpkin 23, the McKees- fort bridegroom who was shot and illed while honeymooning at the home of a cousin.

The Broward County Sheriff's Department was seeking the identities of three men involved in the slaying of Lumpkin during a robbery that netted $50 in cash and a $180 watch. Detectives are preparing sketches of the suspects based on descriptions provided by the victim's wife, Rhonda Smith Lumpkin, 19, of Port Vue, and Melvin Lumpkin of nearby Dania, the cousin. Melvin Lumpkin reportedly was acquainted with at least one of the assailants. Chris Lumpkin was buried yesterday in Round Hill Cemetery in Elizabeth Township following chapel servires attended by scores of friends and relatives. The Rev.

Nicholas Mager, who married the couple March 6, presided. The newlyweds had driven to Melvin Lumpkin's suburban Fort Lauderdale home and arrived less than 24 hours before the robbery. They were sleeping when the men burst into the house last Thursday and tied up Melvin Lumpkin. Chris Lumpkin was shot in the chest with a sawed-of shotgun when he stepped into the hall during the incident. The victim turned 23 March 7.

Hanley, former chairman, president and chief executive officer of Allegheny Ludlum Steel the world's largest producer of -stainless and specialty steels, died Saturday in Presbyterian-University Hospital. The first president of the United Fund, Mr.

Hanley, 79, a former director of eight companies and an active participant in more than 20 organizations, was one of Pittsburgh's most vital civic and business leaders. After nine years with General Electric, Mr. Hanley joined Alleghe-nySteel Corp. in 1936, and two years later took part in negotiations that led to its merger with Ludlum Steel Corp. He was named treasurer in 1941, vice president in 1946 and president and chief executive officer in 1951.

He became chairman of Allegheny Ludlum in 1962, holding all three positions until 1968. He continued as chairman of the finance committee until his retirement to director emeritus in 1978.

Ursula Church in Allison Park.

He liberalized the firm's relations with the United Steel Workers and instituted executive plant tours in which company officials met with local union officials at plants outside the Pittsburgh district. But years later, as unions became more powerful, he advocated the extension of antitrust laws to unions.
