Brezhnev poised to take presidency under new constitution
Moscow reports a 9000 word draft constitution credited to Leonid Brezhnev lays out rights framed by socialist aims and creates a new first deputy president post. Observers say the document could let Brezhnev assume the presidency while the party remains the leading force. It tightens party control, signals economic centralization, and retains limited civil rights within socialist bounds. Adoption by the Supreme Soviet is planned for October 60th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution.
