Russian Move Irks Indians NEW DELHI, India W The brusque Soviet rejection of India's Korean resolution now before the United Nations apparently has se verely shaken mony Indians' faith In Russia as ft firm proponent of world peace. Some Indians have applied such terms ss "rude" and "Insulting" to Soviet Foreign Minister Vlshin sky's turn-down of the Indian for mula for ending1 th deadlock over Korean prisoners. The Indignation among- Indian officials, Journalists and students of international affairs has ap peared uniformly strong. Most of this seemed as much a result of the blunt manner In which Vishin sky spoke both for Russia and Com munist Chin, as of the rejection Itself, A government foreign affairs spokesmen, however, said Satur dsy that Indln was not abandoning hope thst China will reverse Its announced decision and support the Indian resolution, "The government of India regret, ted Chinese disapproval of India's Korean resolution In the United Na tions but hoped that this Is not final and thst China would give further consideration to the mat ter," the spokesman said, i .

Both camps claimed growing strength, and seemed headed for a showdown fight for the CIO lead ership at Uie big lnbor federation's day, A number of the CIO leoders wanted to avoid any public clash. They were trying to prevail on both sides to come to an agree ment that would prevent any open spilt and thereby possibly en danger the CIO's future. One of these "peacemakers" was Jacob S.
