Big Three plans to refer the Berlin crisis to the United Nations, ac cusing Russia of violating the i b.iiiei were delayed to day by French insistence on sending the Soviets one more note in the effort to get tne Berlin blockade lifted. After two meetings of the Western Foreign Ministers, the French wanted to make one last bid for a settlement by negotiation.

They proposed to serve notice on Russia along with the final note that if the blockade were not removed the Western Powers would try the case before the U. N. The final decision had not been made, and probably will not be made until next week. Might Go Along With French The Americans and British were understood to be reconciled to the conclusion that no progress with the Russians could be made, and the only re-course was a try at rallying world opinion behind the West. Hut signs were seen that they might go along with the French on another note, provided it set he course to the U.

N. in case )f a rebuff. Intense consultations among the Western diplomatic chief- ins were scheduled for the next few days. Besides the Foreign Ministers, the Western nvoys to Moscow were to join the conclaves which already included the Big Three military commanaers in Benin. tne jocKeying behind the scenes overshadowed the formal procedure of the newly convened U.

N. General Assembly. There, too, the dominant issue was East vs. West, bu, far it lacked the showdown gravity attacked to the tug of war over Berlin. The Assembly completed or ganizational elections at its second session, with Russia and her satellites getting two of 14 on the steering committee.

One Russian and one Polish andidate were elected among seven vice presidents named shortly after the second plenary ssion opened. Not a single Russian or tellite candidate won yester day when six committee chairmen and the Assembly president, constituting the other seven seats on the vital steer- ng committee, were elected. Called Stinging Rebuff Because Russia and her satel-es represent in area and pop ulation one of the largest blocs the i cued Nations, the cam paign to limit their representa- top Assembly admin-ive posts was considered nging rebuff to Soviet world policy. Kussia blasted the delegates for their actions even before to- ssion opened. Radio Moscow set the pace, charging the elections were "sheer mock- and Assistant Soviet For eign Andrei Vishinsky expected to follow through as he could gain the floor in today's session.

However, election of the two iviet candidates for vice presi dent apparently mollified the Russians and Vishinsky passed up the opportunity to castigate the Western Powers. The morning session ended at 11:45 a.m. (6:45 a.m. Brooklyn timet after one hour. The 14-man steering committee is scheduled to meet later to consider the agenda.

General debate will start tomorrow. The three Western Foreign secretary 01 state George C.
