Fiess behind RuaolA'a spectacular move. Mo told a United preas core rtapondont after Ruselas bolts
 ssfhoao who naaneuvefed Co got Rissla out of tho Council can now start worrying about how Co got her back, The blg powers who edged Russia out will now have tol carry the rosporslblllty."
 Australia voted with the United States against Russia'B motion to postpone the 'franlan Issue until Apfl 10. But Australian delegate col. w. R, Hodgson tried degper- Ately to edge the Council toward Q comprognlse which might have pre- vented the Russian walkout
 Hodgson is expected Co play e major role in efforts Go seal the breach, And he will speak hluntly about where he thinks the blame for UNO's crisis lies,
 Many BewlldeFed
 A spokesman for Hodgson said he could be quoted as saying there has been some clumsy handling of the whole situation and the Russian wlthdrawal could have been avoided.N
 Hewllderment was the reaction of most delegates, however. French delegate Henri Bonnet was typical when asked what the Council would do.
 T don't think anyone knows" he said. We shall meet but I don't know. I Just don't know. I tell you the truth, I Just don't know"
 It waS Bonnet who tried in cd. vance of yesterdays meeting to act as peaceniaker between 0romyko and Byrnes. in his Pierre Hotel suite--oyer Sherry and little cakes oromyko and Byrnes argued In what was reported as angry tones and finally agreed to face e showdown in the Council,
 British Delegate Sir Alexander Cadogan seemed less concerned than some of the other delegates. He told reporters he was "very pleased" that the franian was able to tell the Council as much as he did about the Soviet demands.
 VIII Not Soon Forget
 Those who witnessed yesterdays spectacular Council session will not soon forget 1t. None who know the Russians ever felt that 0romyko was bluffing when he made his threat to walk out # the Council denied his request.
 But nonetheless, when 1t actually happened, it was @ shock. Until the action took place there was always hope that some way out of the dil- emma would be found, But it wasn't and shortly after five o'clock those In the Council chamber watched the young, poker-faced 0romyko gather up his papers and walk stiff ly out of the Council chamber with his aides after short statement which ended: T therefore leave the meeting"
 Irrespective of the reasons behind the Russian move, that statement and 0romyko's departure was an ominouS sign for the future of the UNO. It was Q clear cut example of Russia's belief that the big powers must have their way and her willing ness to take extreme action to pre- vent being thwarted even by @ ma jority of the Council.
 Test Was Due
 GromykoS walkout created the test which Byrnes has felt for more than two weeks must be made on the Iranian case. The issue as final ly drawn was whether Iran, hav- ing complained against Russian pol- icy in her territory, should be al- lowed an immediate hearing.
 The Russians, contending there was a Soviet-Iranian understand ing" demanded postponement until April 10. Byrnes demanded that Iran must have a chance to tell her ver- sion of last months negotiations with Russia before the Council de- cided on Q postponement.
 Neither Byrnes nor Oromyko would compromise-and neither did. The blowup came; the big five cracked wide open. Now in the words of the Polish delegate, those who forced the issue must find a solu- ton.
 A key man may be little-known Arkady Sobolev who left the Soviet foreign office to become UNO's as- sistant secretary general in charge of the Security Council. He dined and conferred ct length last night with his boss-Secretary- General Trygve Lie.
