RUSSIAN PEOPLE
 GIVEN CHARTER

Moscow, June l2 - (UP) - Rus sians, for l8 Ia years under Q steel dictatorship, were handed a new charger of government today = a constitution which marks a decisive step in the history of the worlds first communist republican union.
 It provides for universal suffrage. for the secret ballot. for a supreme soviet elected by the people. It pro- vides for freedom of press and speech, for secrecy of mails, for the right of al Ito vote, regardless or past activities.
 The new constitution was approved by the presidium of the central ex- ecutive committee - that is, by the president of the soviet socialist re- publics which comprise the union.
 An all-union congress of soviets' representing every part of the cotir- try, was called for November 70 70 discuss the new constitution.
 The constitution will bring no basic change in the Russian concept of government but 1t does mean that the leaders who have struggled since the revolution of lol1 to solidlfy their rule in vast Russia feel that the time has come to make a long step forward toward their ideal Eegime.

JUDGE PEASLEY RULING OPPOSED
Objection Was Made to Settlement of $6,OOO
 With Tracy Bros.

Approval of . recommendation by State Referee Frederick M. Peasley that S6,oO0 settlement be made in the suit of Attorney Theodore W, Meyer, receiver for the Tracy Bro- thers Company, against the board of trustees of the West Side Hill Methodist Episcopal church, was opposed in superior court today by lawyers representing several Sub- contractors. As Q result of the ob. jections, Judge Edwin 0. Dickenson ordered the matter continued till next Friday.
 Referee Peasley recommended that the sum of S6,000 be turned over to the receiver by the church trustees in settlement of the suit. He stated in his recommendation that he believed that amount to be an equitable" settlement. However. he made no provision in his recosn- mendation for the manner in which the money was to be divided among the sub.contractors. '~I
 Attorney J. Gregory Lynch, ap. bearing for one of the sub-contract. ors, stated that he believed definite provision should be made for the sub-contTactors. Attorney T. F. Con. way made . similar statement, and several other lawyers did also.
 The litigation arose from con. struction work done at the West Side Hill church. The matter was in the courts for some time and was turned, over to Referee Peasley early this year. He held two hearings be- fore making his recommendation.
